Practice makes perfect, and even though you may think you are pretty good when playing against the game AI or your buddies, when you get online where everybody is as, or more, competitive than you are, you realize it's not so easy. It's fun if you are in a competitive mood, but not so fun if you just want to kick back with a few quick online games.

I've been a bit disappointed with Xbox Live never really getting a good system to keep advanced players with the advanced, and noobs with the noobs. I thought Halo 2 had the best system, and just assumed all other games would copy something similar, but last I checked most games still just pretty much randomly threw people into rooms. I also wish there was a way to screen out anybody under 18. When I first got Live it was in Beta and pretty much everybody playing was at least 20 and up to 40. It was a lot of fun because everybody was just chill, having a good time.
