Hi Folks,

I am in 2 minds as to whether or not to sell my 360 because I am just using it to play dvds at the moment and haven't played any of my games for ages. I'm a bit bored of playing single player games so have decided to try my hand at some online gaming (I used to play a lot of CS:S).

I'm a bit underwealmed with it, the best game I have to play on live is GoW and all I seem to do is waiting ages refreshing the games until I can find one to join, then I join and have to wait an eternity until everyone readys up and then I either;
a.) get team killed
b.) run around trying to find enemies and in the mean time my team mates kill them all in seconds
c.) get killed straight away.

It's not really that fun trying to learn. Does it get any better than this? No one seems to talk on their mics or use any sort of tactics so there's no real help from other players. Also, is it always just a maximum of 4v4? It would be better if there were more players on the teams. Is the machine gun useless except for the chainsaw, I don't know how many bullets I have fired into someone with that only for them to turn around and blow me to bits with the shotgun!

I'm not really getting into it and so am leaning towards getting rid of it. If I am doing something wrong or theres a better way of finding games etc etc let me know and I'll try it out. I hate the idea of having to sell the xbox but if I am not using it I'd rather have the money.

Cheers

Matt
 
The shotgun is very glitchy and GoW is a poor game for online play really. It's ok with a bunch of mates though. Try Halo2.

I agree, I cannot stand the game online and it's all Live really has to offer me at the moment.

Canceling Live when Halo 3 BETA ends, then resubscribing for the proper release.

Lives never been as good as when it first came out well apart from when Halo 2 was king, the Ghost Recon 1 and Rainbow Six 3 days = win.
 
Gears of War is only good when you join a game thats being hosted in the same country as you. Make sure you play ranked, no bellends in those games. Most of the time anyway.
 
Hey,

I have tried playing halo 2 but can't get it to work. I believe it has something to do with me playing my xbox via a monitor connected by a vga cable. The error had something to do with the hz the screen can do.

BF2 is great, i started playing that again, only problem is it is always the same two maps, you just need to get a room with rotating maps.

connect a standard AV cable to the XBox and update halo and set the 360 to PAL60. Then the VGA cable will work fine.
