FLYING SE7EN Posted October 29, 2003 Report Share Posted October 29, 2003 I just got this game tonight so I'll be looking for you guys after about 9 p.m. My upload speed for my X-Box is an earth-shattering 93Kbs :evil: (a problem no one seems to be able to solve btw, even though my PC speed tests at about 250 Kbs), so I am not able to host. Who would like to volunteer to have a bunch of us over for a game tonight?? Cheers. J. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beer Monkey Posted October 29, 2003 Report Share Posted October 29, 2003 The dashboard speed test lies, especially on the upload part. DSLReports.com on your PC is a MUCH more accurate number. On the other hand, your discrepancy seems larger than usual, you might have a LAN problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris F Posted October 29, 2003 Report Share Posted October 29, 2003 I'll be on tonight, hosting a game. THose who don't have me on their Friends list should add me. Those already on my list should expect invites after 9PM EST tonight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrJames Posted October 29, 2003 Report Share Posted October 29, 2003 My upload on the dashboard is at 9765 but my cap is actually 300kbps. I believe that the bandwidth test used in the dashboard uses so few packets that it can't give you an accurate speed rating but is used to test your latency. 93kbps does sound low. Perhaps a port is not being forwarded? All be on tonight as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FLYING SE7EN Posted October 29, 2003 Author Report Share Posted October 29, 2003 The guys at XBOX tech support are pretty much at a loss. The only thing we have left is trying out a different modem. I'm using a Toshiba pcx 2500 that was supplied by my cable company. I'm going to buy another modem over the weekend and test it out. Hopefully that'll work. Back on topic - Chris, thanks for taking the reins. I'll be looking for your invite as soon as I put the little ones to bed. Cheers. J.

Hank Scorpio Posted October 29, 2003 Report Share Posted October 29, 2003 I just got it today. I'll try to get on Live tonite, but the Milwaukee Bucks start their season, which is mandatory viewing for me. If you cats are still playing later on, I'll be sure to join you.

That's what I get for pre-ordering from the friggin PUBLISHER themselves. I feel your pain.. It looks as though we are in the same boat. Funny thing is that the demo was sent out with a tracking # listed on the ubi site but not the real game... Were is the logic in that?

adamsappel Posted October 30, 2003 Report Share Posted October 30, 2003 Am I to understand the demo disk was mailed along with the full game if you ordered online? WTF is the point of having a demo of a game you own! Would you ever play it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
howiedo1n Posted October 30, 2003 Report Share Posted October 30, 2003 The demo was sent in Sept. but when I checked my order history it had the tracking # and the game itself did not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Josh Posted October 30, 2003 Report Share Posted October 30, 2003 It *just* shipped this morning! WTF? I was told yesterday that it had already shipped when I tried to cancel the order since I could have bought the darn thing down the street from my office.

FLYING SE7EN Posted October 30, 2003 Author Report Share Posted October 30, 2003 Good games last night. I am really impressed by the quality of this game, and I'm looking forward to getting better at it. I had a hard time at first getting used to the online play because I kept comparing it to GR:IT in my mind. It plays very differently and it took a bit of getting used to. Plus, every map was a first for me, so when you combine disorientation with bad aim, you end up a spectator Looking forward to tonight. I played a few single player missions last night and I'm loving it. Cheers. J. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishepa Posted October 31, 2003 Report Share Posted October 31, 2003 Is anybody planning on playing tonight? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
howiedo1n Posted October 31, 2003 Report Share Posted October 31, 2003 I finally got my copy today. I might be going to see Mystic River. If I do Ill be on after without a doubt. Otherwise Ill be on at about 8:30-9:00. See you online. If your playing locked private games I send an invite to let someone know I am on, if there is room send an invite back. If there is no more room, no hard feelings. Have fun Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter O Posted November 1, 2003 Report Share Posted November 1, 2003 I will be on tonight. I'll be playing co-op with a friend for a while, but we can stop and jump in if there are a bunch of people up for a game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carlucci Posted November 3, 2003 Report Share Posted November 3, 2003 So were you guys able to host 16 without lag on this game? If so, I may have to talk Santa into delivering this game to me a little early. Carlos. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
merlot Posted November 3, 2003 Report Share Posted November 3, 2003 Chris hosted 16 players with no problems. I believe Joey had close to 16 as well... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
