Many of you probably don't know this but myself (doublezero)and Franny are infact housemates.
[Meaning that we live in the same house, we are not (i repeat NOT) homosexual life partners!]

Anyway, we have been playing Halo online for some time now and if you don't mind me saying so we are pretty damn good! We play online via the site: www.Gamespy.com. If anyone else who plays Halo online feels they can challenge us and that perhaps you even have a chance of beating us, then we'd be only to happy to arrange a time for a battle.

Interested or want any other info? Then just let us know.

In case you are wondering, the game we play is Team Slayer, usually on the levels; Blood Gulch, Sidewinder, Battle Creek or Rat Race. However, we'd be more than happy to accept challenges on other levels. We'd also possibly consider other games, but we must admit that 'capture the flag' really isn't our cup of tea.

We're waiting...

You've probably seen Resurection around here at times - he's my cousin. He tends to come over my place on Friday's and we play Halo all the time. Once I've got everything set up with this comp I'm getting I'm sure we can get something arranged. :-)

Well, speaking from a purely objective point of view, I would have to say that I am the better player. :)
To be honest, because we play together on the same team so much, we are both fairly equal and play using similar tactics, techniques and weapons preferences.

As for your 56k modem, get broadband! You can pick it up for as little as aprox. £15 a month and it's pretty damn good. Ntl is what we use and its good, but I guess it depends on whether or not it is available in your area. (whether or not the relevant cables have been laid, etc...)

Yeah definitely, once you're sorted we'll have a proper showdown!

I use, the £14.99 a month NTL broadband service, its fast and miles better than 56k.

BTW, Doublezero, in my opinion, Gamespy sucks. Use a program called XBConnect from www.xbconnect.com There are no adverts and its one hell of a lot better for xbox users

Yeah, Ntl is good. I'll have to check out xbconnect.com and see if its as good as you say it is. There's nothing worse than attempting to use the sniper rifle in Halo whilst suffering from a bad connection.

Just had a sudden, quick day dream about playing Halo: CTF Extreme on Blood Gulch *drool*

Just imagine it though 8 player CTF online, it would be awesome

Also can you get a banshee on any of the multiplayer levels?
