I recently played with ScorpionX and TheMooseArmy on XBC

[l Maximus l]

Man, it's great playing Halo on-line over XBC with you guys...I realize that we live pretty far away from eachother, but, I think we should do it as often as we can...and I mean all XBA Halo fanatics!

Seriously, dudes...practice now, because when Halo 2 comes out, there are going to be some bad ass Halo players on-line...and Moose and Scorpion are prime examples of it!

[ScorpionX]

GG's Maxi, hated all those noobs joining the room, try and hit me up again so we can get some real games in some time. Oh yea and your host was pretty smooth considering your in Washington

[ShannonX]

heh, thought for a minute you ment on live, then realized you ment xbc =) i'm scorpionX on live.

[Darkside]

blah I need to play more I played a game to twentyfive against my friend and I won 25 to 13,

I think he must suck

[# 1 Stunner]

everytime i play i lag on xbc...and i cant stand host advantagees, that ish is so gay!!!

[No Fear 23]

im getting back into it...but aquaduct (the xbc like program) is down due to some bugs.. so as soon as it gets back in this week... im game.

[l Maximus l]

No fear...you should try XBC...yeah, it's buggy sometimes, but, hey, it's usually working decent and it's rarely if never down. And, besides, it's Halo on-line!

Also, #1 Stunner...while I agree that the host definately has an advantage, it's still the only way to play Halo on-line...and, to me, that's good enough. The funny thing is, I usually don't host at all...especially if I am by myself...but, there were so many games that I couldn't get into at all because the rooms were all occupied...so, I hosted. If I have a buddy over, I usually host...I can host 16 dudes over XBC...especially if everyone is West Coast...there is no problems whatsoever.

I know a bunch of dudes that live in Federal Way, WA which is only about 15 miles from me...and they said that my host is almost LAN. I even had one guy tell me that he almosts plays better on my host than he does in a LAN...lol....yeah, whatever

[Peepers]

I can't stand XBC. In my house, I have to run up and down stairs between my Xbox and computer, which creates major hassles. The lag is often bad. There is no in-game communication with those not on your Xbox. And the list goes on.

That is why Bunjie should have made Halo 1.5 to work on Xbox Live!!! Imagine how awesome that would be! It wouldn't have even delayed Halo 2 if they did it right, since they could have contracted with some other company to update Halo, which, IIRC, is what they did with the PC version.

Oh well, Halo 2 will solve all these problems.

[TheCovenant]

hey maximus, me and ol spartan are down for some halo xbc gaming~! i just got a new comp and xbc isnt hooked up yet, but gimmee a pm if your down.

If you can get a ping under 30, you wont notice lag.

Its a shame you live on the other side of the country max.

And I agree with Peepers, MS and Bungie were stupid not to release a XBL enabled Halo. That would have been huge.

yes exactly
maximus i never see you online on xbc when i check

[JJaX]

Thats because he is running around the silent cartographer on easy, and he thinks the grunts are people on XBC.

bam maximus you just got served

[ShaDovV RyDer]

at first i like the idea of xbc and i sorta still do its just that i cant find it fun playing multiplayer with no one to talk to but urself (which is sorta fun)...plus i have to run up and down the stairs from comp to xbox and half the time the rooms r laggy...so basicly i just play when i have my friends over...i think ill stick to live and just play LAN halo till Halo2 gets here...

[# 1 Stunner]

yeah 16 people is tremendous , the thing i always run into are dumasses who cant even host themselves, they try to host like 6 people and lags, there are so many idiots on there..

[No Fear 23]

actually... aquaduct is like xbc... it connects to xbc which allows us (mac users) to play agianst pc users. there is no mac version for XBC which is why aquaduct is there

once the program gets up... we'll have to play.

[E Nomini Patri]

Fly me a PM next time you guys play! I'll hook up and we can battle it out!

The Fiber network in my town is so cool, it acts like an LAN, so you can system link across the network with your friends. You don't need XBC!

how do i get a fiber optic connection?

[themoosearmy]

how do i get a fiber optic connection?

It's specific to his region. Kind of like how you can only get cable and dsl in certain areas.

Hey max, I'll be happy to play anytime. I'm like you, i don't care if the host has the advantage, I just want to play Halo...a lot. I'm usually on a lot in the evengings (after 9ish), but if i'm not around. Send me a PM over XBA or use MSN/AIM to get to me. If I'm home, I'm always up for a game.

[l Maximus l]

I'm usually on all day Sunday during the day and early evening...I try to play more during the week, but, I work like crazy and my job is pretty consuming. Sometimes I'll hang for a few games during the week, but, it's kinda rare. So, Sunday is the best bet for me...pretty much anytime
