ii dont wanna buy XBL. is it really a MUST
yea,
its soooo fun, and its worth it man.
Yes :x
if you wanna compete... ye

if you don't.... i dk... live is ok... but connect saves you $50.
$50 buck is pretty much a life time supply of PEZ!!!!
true. and pez is food. xbl isnt.
50 for a year is cheap, dont listen to these poor people LOL
You figure, one HaloCE/PC server costs $64 a month(A decent 16 man). $50 for a whole year for Halo 2. Which is cheaper? lol
XBConnect sucks, xbl lag is so much better
they are fundamentally the same, but if you are comparing playing halo online on xbc and halo 2 on xbl thats a terrible comparison, halo1 was never network coded which caused major lag. Halo2 in fact is network coded really well, which reduces major lag and delay with the exception of the so and so killed so and so.
Through my experiences.
XBOX Live = 98% chance of no lag O_O
XBOX Connect = 30% chance of no lag O_O

You pick.

I would much rather take Xbox live especially since the levels make it like a bit to work for

it depends if you have a host who knows what they are doing.
it really doesnt depend on the host when ur playing halo1 they all are going to have delay or lag, basically because Halo1 was not network coded.

rofl; halo 1 not network coded... good joke. If it wasn't network coded you couldn't play over xbox connect... lol.

and I obviously wasn't speaking of halo 1 anyway, since Live is being compared to connect...
ok u obviously no nothing about c++, why dont u ask any real knowledgable person about halo1 and why it lags. Network coded doesnt mean no actual networking capabilities. Go ask a bungie emp..i wanna see what answer u get....rofl cant believe u said that
Buy XBL...XBC doesn't have the competition Live has.
-----------
Shoot first, shoot later, shoot some more, and then when everybody's dead, try to ask a question

Halo was network coded... it works by sending information from 1 xbox to the next, in a "circle" pattern. In fact, it's only made for use over a small network, and not the internet, and that's why it lags. Unless network coded means something different from netcode, you need to check your facts...
All I know is XBConnect sucks

tired of arguing...we need a hug rofl...anyways...yea before me and dude argued i think we both would agree live is better.
Yea Xbox Live is better cause its competitive and you have clans and updates.. Also easy to join game syou dont need to be using the PC all the time. And is 50$ a year really that much unless your like a kid or something and you dont get that much in your allowance
