Yes, but the game still has to support it. This one doesn't. Official thread over at ubi: http://forums.ubi.com/groupee/forums/a/tpc/f/3291043913/m/3911077024 If you don't feel like reading it, they imply it will be fixed via a patch, but don't commit to anything.

Huh? I was hosting a game with my friends last night, and we weren't kicked after each round... We were doing co-op missions. Yea, I was hoping for more co-op missions, but it looks like they will be releasing more for download in the future... very cool. I found cover mode a little...

I have my 360 hooked to a benq 7700 (720p native) projected onto a 106 inch screen. Looks beautiful. Very immersive with my 7.1 sound system. --nw

WTF? Doesn't it come with a white face plate? Why is there one in the bundle...

Progress on the backorder! This afternoon it changed from "backordered" to

I saw an artificial wood face plate for sale tonight... Don't think it will be in the most-wanted list. --nw

No idea when the console will ship, but I noticed the games from my bundle shipped today. I'll probably wind up kicking myself for not getting the overnight shipping. odd, I never got an email that they shipped, had to check online. --nw
