I remember reading that if you had broadband you could get the starter kit from xbox.com from the end of this month. However today I got an email from them and it said to qualify for Xbox live you have to full in a questionnaire and then depending on the results it said a few would be chosen to try the service before its official launch. Are they just saying that and we will be able to buy the starter kit from them or do you really have to be chosen?

I know what you mean though. :-) It'll be a right laugh to play the games and talk about our defining moments on this forum. ;-))

To be honest, I don't think Unreal Champioship is a game that will benefit player skills with specific weapons - its more about movement and fast aiming and shooting.

I think we'll be looking to titles such Halo 2 and Ghost Recon for that. ;-)

Nice ideas there Sav- if I had broadband I'd probably be a Coloum player aswell.

Should also be a player to cover the person going for the flag, aswell as drawing fire away from him and being able to provide support.

Mabye seeing as UC is 16 player and each team will have 8 players, there should be four pairs. Each group of two have a specific task like defensive etc and both players can stick together and cover each other.

Wadda ya think? And other ideas guys?

And I know its only a chat forum here, but we still have the advantage of knowing eachother to an extent which is more than what a lot of players will have. :-)

I see what you mean Sav it is shown on half life on the pc. Team fortress classic hasn't done aswell as counterstrike due to the teams onf TF being all over the show.

Thats what I was thinking. It doesn't matter how good you are, if you're team is a shambles while the opposition is organised and knows their role to play, then you'll lose.

Its not a case of the best players getting what might be thought of as the best roles as every position is very important. Its a case of everyone relying on eachother to do well rather than trying to a Rambo. :-)

Pretty cool idea Savatt. Damn I wish I had UC now :). That would be a good idea to do team work as then your more likely to win with proper communication, rather than everyone hogging the lime light and nicking the flag all the time.
