No real surprise. The big hold up is getting mods onto the 360. Last I heard epic planned to put them through certification (which (a) is interesting and (b) is going to cost them a bomb).
I think they've just been waiting to get the PS3 version out of the door. UnrealEngine 3 is fully cross platform so in theory they could have just recompiled, cooked the data for the Xbox 360 and gone GM a day later. But there's also testing, certification and leaving a bit of a gap so it's PS3 exclusive for at least a few weeks.
It will be interesting to see how they solve the user mod problem, as they'll have to somehow combine the openness of Unreal on the PC and PS3 with the entirely closed architecture of the Xbox 360. I wouldn't be surprised if it's not solved until after ship, by e.g. a live update, if at all.
Oh dear, that'll upset some people.
Not me though.
Sigh.
I use the 'view posts since last visit' button, so miss nothing. But it is obvious that threads outside of bleatings get far less interest. So I'm sure this (and any others moved as I guess the PS3 and Wii ones will too) will suffer.
Actually, before I started this thread I asked a mod if it'd be okay in Bleatings and they said "Yes", but I guess now that the 360 is well accommodated in the forum the thread can be here instead.
I'm a bit worried traffic will drop like a stone though. Most people don't browse anywhere other than Bleatings and the three console threads are pretty important.

Agreed. It seems the Wii and PS3 threads have a reprieve for now...

Is it? It must be more localised than it was originally. I haven't had any problems with it today, I have to say. But if so much as a single person is still having problems now, then it's still really shit.

I've been on today and it was fine. Well apart from the usual problem that I'm completely clueless when it comes to CoD and getting my arse handed to me on a plate in every single game!
