[METC NAPALM]

Hey guys, I just started playing oblivion on the 360, and I notice that at times, especially when talking around in the woods, that the screen seems to pause (frame rate drops DRASTICALLY) for a few moments, and then goes back to normal. Should it be doing this? I am assuming its doing this because its loading or processing the areas I am about to go into? The disk is perfect..so I dont think that is what it might be. Thanks in advance!

My personal belief is that it is the 360 hardware. The reason being is after my first 360 RRoD'ed my second 360 ran oblivion alot smoother. Keep in mind that this is just my opinion

I recall slowdown just as you are describing on my old 360. I don't have it anymore, so I can't try it on my Elite to see if there is a difference though.

my xbox does the same thing
im almost 99% possitive that its just that its a really high render game and it was an early release on the console so its just gotta push itself a lil more
but hey a lil lag for an amazing game?
i think thats a good trade
