Everyone keeps on saying 'this system link has no online capability' etc.

From what I understand, if it's got system link you can use Gamespy to get it online by fooling it.

So that means Brute Force, Halo, Timesplitters2 and Serious Sam can be brought online.

I can't be bothered to tell everyone EVERY time about Gamespy. So this thread'll learn yer.....

NO! Ya fool, I meant why can't they use the same method as xbconnect uses to fool the lan mode into playing online to make more games live capable! I mean it works perfectly on xbconnect most of the time, Im sure microsoft could adapt the technique to have it running smoothly

Okey doke. That thing too. But the point is made. System Link can equal online play.

You could use gamespy if you wanted unreliable software that's extremely likely to have spyware in it.

Otherwise, you could use Xbconnect.
