It's fun using gamepad, it's much more fun using a gun.

HOD3 is fine with the controller. HOD2, which u can unlock, is much harder with it.

I remember playing the demo of HOD2 that came with Dreamcast, and I couldn't get anywhere in it - it was really hard.

I suppose it would a lot easier with the gun, which we can finally use on HOD2 now.

Picked up Halo today at Target in Woodland Hills, CA for $38. Don't know if it's the same price at other Targets. I thought it was a good price.

That'd be awesome. I want the game, if only to play it via Gamespy.

 

[acx]

eh, I think he's referring to the Xbox version of Halo, since this is an Xbox thread. I don't think you can play Halo via Gamespy on Xbox....

Actually, you can play via Gamespy. It can be a little laggy, but it's fully possible. I'd recommend playing with Xbox Connect...Tends to be more dependable and less laggy.

 

[Winchester]

Huh! I didnt know you could play multiplayer "online"

Both are a little cumbersome, but between the both XB Connect is better. But I can't wait for Halo 2 with Live support. But to keep this topic on Hot Deals.....XB Connect is FREE!

Indeed! You're missing out, if you've not been online with Halo. Here's the site:

Im having a hard time reading the green on black text. What all do I need to do this? Do I have to mod?

No mods needed.

1) Download XB Connect.
2) Depending on your set up, connect an ethernet cable from your hub to your xbox.
3) Turn on XBox.
4) Set up game.

It's actually a very easy process....now that I've already set it up. Just read the instructions. Have fun.

 

[Nismo96]

Sweet. Thanks for the tip on XB Connect.

 

[Yobbo]

I didnt know about xbconnect, this should be hot as anything...gonna be playing halo online all this weekend! ))))

 

[acx]

Holy moly, there is a god!

NICE find!

Excellent opportunity for either a 110% PM to CC or BB (roughly $25.66 & tax), or a 100% PM at BB combined with a $5 off GG coupon ($22.88 & tax).

Sweet price either way on an AWESOME game!

 

[Natas666]

Speaking of Halo, if you haven't seen the E3 demonstration of Halo 2 you can stream if from IGN. It's about 44MB. The game looks cooler than a polarbears' toenails.

 

[Winchester]

I played online last night, it really sucked!

 

[BlackCatt]

Does anyone know a website to get the UPC #'s for Xbox games? I think I am about to get an Xbox for fathers day :-D

You do have to have broadband (if you don't already). And you do/should pick a Halo server with a low ping relative to you. And the players online can be very very good. I thought I was pretty good before I tried it online and I just suck compared to some of these guys

 

[Winchester]

Yeah, I have Cable, but it is TOO laggy!!!. I press start and im dead, and that is with a 45-53 ping, . But im sure you just get used to it after awhile.

FULL Japanese version of Capcom vs. SNK EO (minus Live play) available on Xbox Exhibition 2 disc
