Last Saturday I tried out playing halo via xboxconnector.com! Here are my impressions:
The downloads are fast and easy...But that is where "fast and easy" ends. Once you have downloaded the xboxconnector and the chat software, you have to literally advertise your game! It is totally different than gamespy! there are no rooms! just a chat window! In that window...you give people your ip adress (if your host) then they join! I only had one game though. Ya thats right, one! It took me hours to get one game! It was a 4 v. 4 CTF @ blood gulch and it was awesome! Almost zero lag!
So, if you play on gamespy, I reccomend you try it out! The one thing that is really cool about it is this: Say you want to hook w/another XBA dude or another freind, all you have to do is know your freinds ip or vise versa then at the time you both planned on playing, you just load up the sofware, and type in the ip...then your in the game! No messin around (Max, we might actually get a game!)
My conclusion is this: try xboxconnector--but i wish there was a site that is a hybrid of gamespy and xboxconnector!:)
