Question: is it me or are demo downloads really slow?

not just you..... I just "set it and forget it" 😉 walk away and come back a little bit later and it's usually done.

Wow... I'm playing co-op campaign and this sh!t rocks!

I keep losing connection to the hosts. Anyone have an idea on how to fix it?

I got that a lot too. I think it may be a case of the room filling up by the time you select it.

That is another minor complaint I have. The multi-player messages like that one leave something to be desired.

Can you connect to MP games with your other games? It might be that the servers are slammed since I'm sure tons and tons of people are playing MP right now since the game is new.

I don't know... I just got Xbox Live. The list refreshes everytime but every host has one red bar. I've successfully joined one out of twenty or so games. It gives me the error the second I try to join one.

You guys can feel free to send me an invite as welll...I'm CallMeDTop on XBL 🙂. I'm playing GoW co-op campaign right now, and this is honestly the best shooter I've played on the past two generations of consoles. Kick's Halo's ass, IMO.

 

[RagingBITCH]

Nothing kick's Halo's ass, son 😛 I still play the hell out of Halo 2, even on Live. Still fire up H1 on XBC every now and then, but the guys there are so good 3 shotters it's just kinda pointless playing.

Capcom Announces Lost Planet Multiplayer Demo

..will be released on November 23. The demo will let Xbox 360 owners play in the ?Pirate Fortress? stage with support for up to 16 players. Players will be able to select four play modes: Elimination, Team Elimination, Post Grab and Fugitive.

 

[bucwylde23]

Well played GoW a LOT today on my day off, and finally beat it on casual and hardcore difficulties. Only thing left now is insane, and that's pretty insane 😉

I really do love this game, even though the single player is kind of short.

But at least the online is fun and has no lag (once you get into a game and not disconnected)
If anyone needs help or just wants to play coop to beat hardcore/insane, let me know 🙂 It's a lot more fun in coop than by yourself

Has anyone used 1080p from the 360 to a TV? I just picked up a 1080p Sharp LCD today but it's having trouble dealing with 1080p from the 360. It constantly clicks while trying to lock on to the signal and the screen is blank. It'll catch it for a few frames at a time and then go dark again. I'm running it at 1080i for the time being and it works perfectly (and looks great) but I want to make sure that this isn't a problem with my TV.

I have my 360 hooked up to my 42" Westinghouse via vga running 1080p, no problems at all. Looks great too 🙂

I'm getting a lot of disconnects too

I have to run over component since my TV doesn't have VGA. I'm curious if maybe the TV doesn't handle 1080p over component all that well. I'm really looking forward to a HDMI cable from Microsoft.

Is Microsoft working on a HDMI cable, or is this just wishful thinking?

Wishful thinking but there are always rumors floating around that they're working on it or going to be releasing a console with an HDMI port. I'm not sure anybody knows for sure at this point.

i BELIEVE but i'm not 100% that ebgames.com had a link to an HDMI cable for the 360 up for a little while, but when it got public, they took it offline. i think I saw Queasy say somethin about this before.

Yep EB and Gamestop had one. I think it was $99.99 too, wasn't it?

I think it was Gamestop, but the price was $69.99, not $99.99. 🙂
