iainl Posted March 9, 2004 Report Share Posted March 9, 2004 Hmm, I wonder if I'll actually be able to get it to work at this version. Whenever I've tried it with Halo before, I've got as far as seeing the game I want to join on the XBox, and then timing out the connection.

Carlucci Posted March 9, 2004 Report Share Posted March 9, 2004 Some of my friends and I had some great results with version 3.x, since we are all local to Houston. I can't wait to try out v4. Carlos. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JTello Posted March 9, 2004 Report Share Posted March 9, 2004 I've never tried using this service, but I'm certainly interested. I might give this a try if I can find a little free time to set it up. I've been looking for a reason to pick up a little game called Halo. :oops: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Daisy Posted March 9, 2004 Report Share Posted March 9, 2004 I always wanted to try this out to play some Deathrow. I've played Halo using it with a friend before and it was pretty good, but not great. Glen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris F Posted March 9, 2004 Author Report Share Posted March 9, 2004 I'd be up for trying some Deathrow over XBConnect. I'm sure I could probably get Cathartic to play too. We loved that damn game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JTello Posted March 9, 2004 Report Share Posted March 9, 2004 Ohhh, and to play Deathrow too! I'd finally get to pick that game up too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carlucci Posted March 12, 2004 Report Share Posted March 12, 2004 I tried this last night with 4 Xboxes (all local to Houston) connected with a total of 7 players. In our first attempt, the lag was so bad it was unplayable, so we assigned hosting duties to another xbox. We then proceeded to play CTF on Halo at BloodGulch with NO discernable lag whatsoever. We played a round of that and then a round of CTF at Hang 'em High. Again there was no lag. Next we tried Team Slayer at Hang 'em High and there was no lag, right until the point I got dropped. (it was a pitty too because I had just gotten a killing spree) I don't know why I got dropped, but that has happened to me on the old version too. The other boxes simply got a message that I had left the game, but they kept right on playing with no lag. I never tried to reconnect as it was getting pretty late. All in all it was a great experience. I look forward to more Halo action via XboxConnect. Carlos. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeyN Posted March 12, 2004 Report Share Posted March 12, 2004 I picked up Deathrow as chris and i were gonna try it on XB connect. However we havent had a chance yet. Id definatly be up for it when you guys want to try. Also trying Halo would be excellent as well capt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carlucci Posted March 22, 2004 Report Share Posted March 22, 2004 Ok, I've had so much success with Halo on version 4 with the locals in Houston, that perhaps we are ready for some long-distance Halo fun. Anyone want to try for some multi-box gaming this week or weekend, let me know and we'll give it a shot. I'll get my boy Texaco (Philip) to host. We have had the best results when he hosts our games.
