Played Halo on the internet with Xbox with gamespy and my computer,it ran smooth but right know limited to 4 players max. when microsoft starts up there Xbox servers it will be sweet

multiplayer any good?

I played it at a friends house, the controling was hard to use

yes controller takes some getting used too at 1st since I had played fps on my computer using with a mouse, but im pretty good with it now, actually quit comfortable with it

Yea same here. It took me a day to get comfortable with the XBOX controler but now I love it. Hey staylor when you played did you experiance any lag? Cuz I have a 1Mbit/1Mbit connection and just want to see whats optimal to play. Ohh yea can you tell me how you connected? like XBOX to hub which has 2 ports for a pc and xbox or what not cuz I'm just confused on how you play online. Thx

Is the multiplayer like Diablo 2, where it's a group of people against the computer? Or is it where you have a selection to choose from like Deathmatch.

Ok as far as lag,there was some but the guy that was hosting was capped at 128 so that had something to do with it but most of the time it ran pretty smooth. as far as hooking it up for internet play i would go to gamespy and get the the tunneling download and also has explanations of many varibles on setting up there as well, Xbox is plugged into my linksys router and i have just just one nic card in my computer. i forwarded ports 6500 thru 6700, i really dont see how it works but it just does. you can see the status lights on linksys when xbox is on but as far as the linksys menu under dhcp tables its not shown. also dont even think that forwarding those port did anything but thats what i read to do. one other thing, you wont see anything going on the xbox menu untill you actually see the game starting to load on computer

theres several types of gameplay, i chose deathmatch, theres also ctf,king of the hill,and about 4 other mods that i cant think of off hand. i dont know if there is one like diablo 2 over the internet but game supports it locally for sure
