O/T i finally got XBOX live.

I don't have counterstrike, dang it. (I assume this thread was for me.....the other Xbox Live guy.)
Get Project Gotham Racing 2, Steve!
I'll go ahead and add you to my friend list, though. I'm Snidedude.
I get a 6 day weekend, thanks to my hernia operation.... so maybe I'll talk to you on Xbox Live.
 
True or false guys, you have to disconnect your entire hub if you want to get on xbox live with any kind of decent speed?
 
Unfortunately, that seems to be true.
I have a networked system. But when playing Xbox Live, I have to plug the Xbox ethernet right into the modem. Thus, unplugging the ethernet that goes to the network hub.
But it's worth that hassle.
 
i have a network running at home on a dsl connection. we all know how undependable dsl lines are... i'm running 2 computer and 2 xbox's all at once and have only been booted twice in the probably... 20 hours i've played online.

i'm allowed to borrow games from my work, so i'll get that next. i'm borrowing jedi academy right now and it's fuckin sweet on LIVE. there's so many different types of matches.

i borrowed counterstrike and i'm definately picking that up next paycheck. i'll email you when i check out PGR2.

Cool.


I hardly ever experience lag. Sometimes one of the cars may "skip" just a little when racing online. But that's probably happened twice out of 20 or so races.

I've also got Unreal Championship and Midnight Club II. But PGR2 is everything I could've hoped an online racing game could be. :D
 
so... seeing as how awesome microsoft is, they send us a buncha free shit every christmas. sooo... last year, they sent us a buncha copies of nba inside drive 2003. pffft fuck that.

today, we got the mother load of awesome shit from them for free. i got 200 bucks worth of games...

we got like, 7 different games. i wanted to get LINKS 2004, but we only had one and i let the other guy have it... but i did get Counterstrike, Crimson Skies, Project Gotham Racing 2 (that's for you, snide. i told the other dude i work with to take the other free copy we got too), and Amped 2.

Are Crimson Skies and Countersrike worth getting? I hardly ever buy games and know I want to get the new Rainbow Six and Max Payne 2.
 
While we're asking for recommends, are there any good mech games out/coming out that don't need controllers bigger than my house?

counterstrike is worth getting if you have xbox live. i haven't played crimson skies yet, but i heard it's pretty bitchin'.

the new rainbow six is just a first person shooter now. they took everything that made rainbow six rainbow six and threw it down the shitter. max payne 2 is every bit as good as the first one, but don't expect it to take nearly as long as it took for you to beat the first one.
