I was just playing it with 4 Player Co-Op over Live.

I can only do two player, as my friend doesn't have Live Gold.

Our record is 14 (Dumb deaths - One to mystery box without checking for zombies [just got a max ammo but didn't know it, too], and one to the ray gun's radiation shooting a zombie at the top of the stairs trying to save him)

That's two player, much harder than four. And we suck.

They took those out of my school because it was anti-religious, and I don't mean "I read between the lines and realized that was it.", that's pretty much what they told us in a nut shell. Which is kind of weird since it's a public school, but I don't care enough to make a big deal about it.

P.S. I got a nice pair of ear-phones from my Grandma, and my sister ordered mine, but it's late so I'm expecting a package next week.

[quote="Negative_Creep]Give me a bell if RA3 is any good please, i've always been looking at that, but the DRM is very offputting, but if the game is great then I might cave in[/quote]

I love Red Alert 2, one of my fav games of all time. The graphics and gameplay (according to YouTube vids) look even more fantastic. I don't like DRM either, or fact the PC needs to be on internet to register it; but I will do it as exception to the rule as game will be worth it.

I really hate it when schools pull that sort of crap. I don't want to give away too much of the books, but they are not anti-religious so much as anti-institutionalized religion, if that makes any sense. The fact that the author, Philip Pullman, is an atheist doesn't really help either. At least there's more substance to their banning than with say Harry Potter, which I've heard of being banned in schools for "promoting witchcraft".

The books are great though; I highly recommend them.

I figured that's what it was. They never banned the Harry Potter books, but we did have to have a note from a parent/guardian to check them out in elementary school.
