Saw a while back In XGamer that BlackHawkDown was sheduled for release on xbox being XboxLive compatable.
I sampled the game tonight on the PC, and this will be one to get.
He had a demo version with only one Multiplayer map on the internet but we tried it and it was really, really cool. Seen the film? The game's just like it. The level was some kind of captute the flag game with points around the map which could be controlled.
You could get in Humvees(armoured cars with big machine guns) and of course helicopeters. They were indestructable and the CPU controlleed them, but any team could jump in and use them their weapons.
Sniping was also really cool on the rooftops, hitting the little soilders running about down below. When you look thorigh the sight the sence of distanse is great thanks to the washing out of the faraway colours. You need to see it to know what i'm on about. :P The graphics were kinda basic and angular but that couldn't stop the great gameplay from shinning.
Teamwork won all the battles so when this title comes to xbox with voice communicator should really come into its own. I saw other players covering each other as them moved down the streets and using advanced moves such as lying down making them execent snipers.
Lag was present but shouldn't really be a problem on Broadband only Xbox Live. :) We played the one level demo for 3 hours online it was so good and my friend is going tomorrow to get the full vrsion he thought it wasthat good.
When this one arrives, you all will love it. Xbox Live WILL change console gaming if all this fantastic online games keep coming.

I got the film on DVD 2 weeks a go and its superb! I am looking forward to the game as well, not the multi-player but the single player mode! Not out for a bit yet though :(
Are you telling me some Xbox owners are dead?
