"Joining the Live Brigade"

After what seems like ages, we've finally got Broadband on order, so will be on Live in about 2 weeks I guess.

Had a real quick look for a Start Kit online last night, cheapest I could find was 29.99, surely they must be cheaper than that? I did see an offer of the kit with Forza for 59.99, but not sure about that one.

Anyway, I have got these Live games:

Halo 2
PGR2
Juiced
Pro Evo 4
Outrun
Topspin

I think that's it at the mo, unless you lot can suggest some others worth getting?

Gamertag etc to follow.

Yeah that is allowed in certain games.

Halo 2 and PGR2 (off the top of my head) allow a guest - maybe even more than one guest.

I think Halo 2 will be the first game I try out, definitely.

If there's two of you on 1 Xbox, is it possible to both play on Live in some games? (Did that make any sense?) I'll be getting a 1Mb connection, so will that be fast enough?

In Halo 2 my clan is mainly just an extended friendlist. I pretty much play as a lone wolf in that game now because it's more fun.

Theres a clan called that ? Never heard of em. :-) I'm not into the whole clan scene. Only ones I really know are those 2 girl ones cause their in mags and stuff all the time.

Hmm, sounds suspiciously similar to the Halo 2 'War Basturds'...

;P

I'd LOVE someone to come along and beat you 10 - 0 on Evo... and then laugh at you... then get you fired.. or something.

:D

Nice one, cheers people :-)
I'll add you once I'm up and running. Should be end of next week or early the following one I guess.

Oh yeah and mine is English Redneck ;-)

My gamertag is bonus uk, add me when you get your broadband sorted out and I'll beat you at Pro Evo.

Actually, it'll probably be a mix of decent and git players. Sometimes it depends on the game. Halo 2 for example is full of Yank accidental births.

Overall though it probably won't take long to get some people on your friends list and you know you can add all the guys on here, so I'm sure you won't look like a Live Billy no mates. ;-)

I tend to play private games with my cousin and one of my friends quite often on games like Battlefront and Ghost Recon: Summit Strike. Sometimes its fun to be on the same team againast the CPU. ;-)
Its become good practise on Battlefront cause I'm probably one of the best ATAT and ATST drivers you'll find. ;-)

Even when playing against players and not CPU, I have a habit of scoring over 100 kills on Endor in an ATST. Of course I'm always playing for the Empire. ;-)

One of the games I'm really good at and it also so happens to be one of the few without scoreboards - DOH !
