The wife has been getting sick of the shooting and explosions when I play COD4 and COD5, so I've been playing with my headphones on. OMG. I can hear so much more now. I can actually hear footsteps when someone's trying to creep up on me. Everything sounds so much more refined. It's a totally enhanced experience. I'd really have to crank up the sound to hear everything on my home theater. Especially to drown out the noise from the PS3 fan. I should have been playing with them on from the beginning.

Now I prefer to play with the headphones on, even when she's not around. I'll see how long it lasts.

I prefer to game with headphones too. If you want to get a nice pair of gaming phones, look at stuff by Audio-Technica.

Yea, I actually prefer headphones as well. I have a tritton headset that I like a lot, but what a pita to set up.

I downloaded the demo yesterday. I think I'll rent it instead of buying it. I don't quite get the Assistant On/Off thing, and I don't like that it forces you to 3rd person view when assist is off. I'm not sure what the point of that is.
