Xbox Online

[-WorldSpawn-]

Spring is nearing, and I haven't heard any new news about Microsoft's Xbox Online plans. I did read a snippet in the Official Xbox magazine saying that it will be rolled out in the US first, and then to the rest of the world. I hope they actually meant it will be rolled out in North America first If they build it, the games will follow.

The last rumor I heard was that it will be starting this summer...and they will have it's flagship game, Unreal Championship, being sold to really kick things off! I can't wait!!

Actually, it's Unreal Championship, not Tournament...but, Halo has not yet been announced that it will be on-line as of yet...I really hope it does!! Right now, Gamespy or XBoxconnector.com is the only way

If they did bring unreal tournament to the box it would still be cool. Welcome to my world

I can't wait till Xbox goes online because PS2 fanboys will be whining about the $140 addons they'll have to buy!

Dude! No sweat! There is a game called Unreal Tournament...it's just not on or coming to the XBox. But, Unreal Championship is! And, that game is going to be SWEEEEEEET!!!

By the way, welcome to the forums!

yah thanks its good 2 b here, when Unreal <em>Championship</em> comes out ill have 2 look u up and play u.

Unreal Championship looks awesome, especially the outdoor areas. I've always been a huge fan of the Unreal series, much more than Quake and can't wait for this title. This may be one reason why I subscribe to the xbox online network even if it does cost some $$.

If u look on release dates UC was moved to october. I think they did this because i heard they r delaying the network

so when was it moved to??

[Halo Perfect]

well anyway, does anyone know the date in May that the broadband for Xbox is coming out, cuz i gonna get for my birthday, saving some money, ooo yah

[cyclaud]

i heard the network will come in october giving sony a lead. I heard they are doing this for protection against hackers by adding security to the network. if u remember PSO on DC was ruined by cheaters due to poor protection.

actually I've heard Halo is already being played online. on gamespy.com or something like that. microsoft hasn't officially started online play yet though, but yeah I'm looking forward to playing Halo and whatever else comes out.
