neilj37 Posted March 28, 2007 Report Posted March 28, 2007 I used to play halo on the xbox but got fed up with people cheating so much on it. I can't remember the exact term for what they were doing but basically if they hosted a game and pulled the cable out of their router they could freeze the game for everyone except themselves. They could then grab the flag and get back to their base without anyone shooting them. I think as long as they reconnected the router this within 20 or so seconds the game would carry on and they would win. Quote

rowlf Posted March 29, 2007 Report Posted March 29, 2007 not that i know of but i suppose anything is possible. @ Kiteflyer05 which three lights are flashing on the front? Quote
kiteflyer05 Posted March 29, 2007 Report Posted March 29, 2007 on the start button, where u usually get 1 green light on if your playing with 1 controller, u get three flashing red ones from the right hand side:( Quote
Skullfish Posted March 29, 2007 Report Posted March 29, 2007 Well, looks like I've got a 360 arriving in the next few days. Give me some time to get board of Crackdown and Gears and I'll join you lot in GRAW2. Tag is Skullfishy, though I won't be out of the silver doldrums until my console actually arrives! What sort of time do you guys normally play? Quote
Dan Wilson Posted March 29, 2007 Author Report Posted March 29, 2007 Im usually on from 7pm most nights and its roughly the same for most of the other guys. You definately need to get GRAW2 i think its the best online multiplayer that i've seen. Quote

Skullfish Posted March 30, 2007 Report Posted March 30, 2007 Orders been processed... Don't worry guys, you'll be seeing m at an online abattoir near you soon. Do any of you use the headsets to talk, or is that considered geeky beyond the pail? Quote
neilj37 Posted March 30, 2007 Report Posted March 30, 2007 No we all have headsets and it is the only way to win games online as you need to communicate as a team, especially in GRAW2. Quote

-Jonno- Posted March 30, 2007 Report Posted March 30, 2007 I aint been on live i will promise to get on next week !! I have been really busy this week !!! and the weather looks good at the weekend so doubt i will get a chance then. I think Gears of war is the best multiplayer but i have really got into but thats just me. Can't wait til Halo3 then that will take the top spot. Quote
Jumpinjacks Posted March 30, 2007 Report Posted March 30, 2007 I think Gears of war is the best multiplayer but i have really got into but thats just me. Can't wait til Halo3 then that will take the top spot. I do think that GRAW is better than GOW online though but personally I have always preferred Lost Planet due to all the things you can do and it was one of te first games I have played online. But same as you though I have only played GRAW a few times online and kinda didn't know what the hell was going on, but I will give it time. The one player on GRAW is so much better than the multiplayer though imho. Quote
Steve1599968621 Posted April 5, 2007 Report Posted April 5, 2007 Just been and got myself Guitar Hero II. Had a quick play at lunchtime, still the same cool game as on the PS2, but with a few extra tracks thrown in and Hi Def visuals. Multiplayer's not working yet cos don't think it's turned on on the server yet, as officially it's not out til tomorrow. Come on you lot, get it and we can have an online jam! Quote
neilj37 Posted April 5, 2007 Report Posted April 5, 2007 Might pick it up on the way home from work Quote
Dan Wilson Posted April 5, 2007 Author Report Posted April 5, 2007 Is it really that good? i seen vids etc of people playing it but just doesnt look like fun to me i might love it though as i took the pi$$ out of tiger woods golf on the ps2 and when i played it i fell in love with it. I think i need to have a play on it. Quote
