i dont know about you guys..my i never play on live. none of my friends do either. i still have a live account, but havent used it in months. all of my friends decided not to renew theirs the last time it expired. i have been keeping it just for downloadable content..but it is about to expire again...and i really dont know if i will renew it. it just isnt any fun. playing games against total strangers just isnt my idea of fun. if i want to play a game, i want to do it with a few friends, preferably in the same room. whats the fun of trash talking if you dont run the risk of being hit for it?

im assuming halo 2 will have downloadable content..if it does, then i will probably renew..if not..then I really see no point in keeping it.

There is a thread that lists everyone's live games and their gamertags. You might want to go check that out when you get a chance.

Add me, would you like an ESPN football ass whuppin? I have some available.

**Spaztic** · 10-29-2004

I personally don't like playing online because I have friends that will come over and play on my system with me. Just not my cup of tea.

**Variation-XBA** · 10-29-2004

One of the reasons nobody is on is probably that you are located in Israel, so when you are playing in the afternoon, its really early in the morning in America.

THIS IS all THE FUN!!!

First of all what the fun in playing in split screens? playing four on the same screen is absurd..

Second playing against other people that u don't have any Idea if they are good or bad at that game, going to race somebody with maybe skills equal to yours ? or even better...
it's a real thrill!

What is the fun in playing over and over with the same people?

And even with the same people ., isnt that fun that you can play toghter teams against other, and sit comterbly each one in his house?

I guess you are in minority in the word because every one is liking it..

I am still undecided about getting Xbox live. I have heard of an issue with lag, teenage perverts and teenage attitudes. Plus I do most of my online gaming on the pc, I am not sure how I would take the convesion to Xbox live. I have yet to hear very positive things about it.

**severd hed** · 10-29-2004

im not the only one...most of my friends feel the same way. and the few times i did play online, there was always one or two idiots who ruin the game. be it by annoying voice masks, blasting bon jovi in the background loud enough it comes over the head set, or just being cheap.

i have about 3 friends i play games with. tow of them have large TVs.(one has a 55", and the other has a 65" wide screen HDTV) and i have a projector...a 70" screen split 4 ways is still 35" each. so it is plenty of fun.

Rhiannon, not every teen is a perv (im not), and you can always mute people. Certain games suffer from lag it seems, so check with other people before buying a game stricktly for Xbox Live. Dead Or Alive: Ultimate suffers from a bit of lag, but I've noticed today wasn't as bad. Games like Rainbow Six 3 have almost no lag at all. It's all just a matter of the host, and people knowing how many they can host.

odpr, I've numerous live games, except the ones you've got.

When you get Burnout 3, Dead or Alive Ultimate, and/or Halo 2 lemme know.

GMRTag is LTM360

lol
take no offense to my post. I am not implying that any teen is or is not a perv, nor anyone from this board. I was just relaying the fact that is what I have been told, by numerous people. I understand the mute option. My decision is still undecided because of Xbox live gaming versus pc online gaming. So far I have been advised that pc online gaming is better in quality(lag wise) and better moderated. Thats all

**rpgreligion** · 10-29-2004

I'm stilling living in the world of 56k.

At least Halo 2 will allow guests on your account..I'll be playing at one of my friend's houses from time time.

I wasn't offened, just offering tips if you didn't know of certain things, come on, join the cult, I mean Xbox Live.

As for that statement, quality on PC gaming, definately. Better Moderated, I'd have to disagree. Nothing better than reporting someone for fun, and turns out they've been reported before and they lose their connection to XBL for 3 months. Not that I've done that before.

**Rhiannon** · 10-30-2004

Well as I said I am still kicking the idea back and forth. The final decision will probably be made by my better half. Since he is the Xbox hog...... I would not mind playing a few FPS on live. Time will tell and we will see.

**eskara** · 10-30-2004

Yeah, the novelty of live has began to wear out. Its exciting at first, seeing as now you can play against people who are half decent (little brothers with GBAs don't cut it). Then it gets boring, and not the idea of playing some teenage jackass is becoming more like a chore. Don't get me wrong, there are still times when I go on live and have a good time and all, but being able to hit the winner of a game who is sitting next to you is more appealing. The lame thing about live, especially PGR is that you have to search for a while for a room where people are going to behave themselves, and you know you can chat away and know that there isnt going to be some self-important ass who critisizes everyone. Yesterday some kid who sounded like he was 10 started having ago at me for choosing an Enzo! He was using the Merc that you unlock at the end and everytime I crashed he laughed and made a snide comment. Then I snapped and started shouting at him then he didnt say anything. Then HE got booted from the game LOL. Oh Halo 2 where art thou ma saviour

Anyone want a game of PGR? lol.

**Duke** · 10-30-2004

All teenagers are pervs.

I definitely don't play live as much as I used to, but then it comes and goes w/ the games. Yeah, the novelty wears off, but it's not that expensive, and when there's a new game out or you just feel like playing, there are always people around. I still like to play SP, but live is really where it's at.

**Rhiannon** · 10-30-2004

Well my hubby likes the idea of PGR2 on live, so he can race with the TVR he is so addicted to. I am not a fan of racing games more of and rpg and adventure fan. How many RPGs are on live? I am not talking about live enabled updates either. That would be something to heavily influence our decision.
