Best way to play online ????

[micho]

Can anyone tell me what the best way to play my xbox games online without xbox live?

Or is this not possible?

I've been reading about the xbox ladder and others but not quite shure I understand.

It's not possible. You could play a friend on another machine using a crossover cable...

i thought there were 2 things that let yuou play online, one of them is xboxconnect aint it, i tried one of them ages ago but couldnt connect, all i heard was how good it was.

im not sure but i think the maximum number of players was 4 cant recall

it is possible via xbconnect, xbox connector etc.

look for the websites

max players is only governed by the bandwidth, but halo for one takes up loads

yeah i knew there was a few, wasnt there one called tunnell something aswell malt.

as for the bandwith thing malt it WAS halo i was trying to play so thats prob why it said 4 players, and some said only 2 aswell if my memory serves me, which it dont do all the time

XB Connect & GameSpy Tunnel are the main ones...

halo online is amazing - but these are strictly broadband only.

Ive been playing on xboxconnect.com for 2 weeks now.

A lot of people have had problems but I gotta say that I hooked up and played straight away. Just make sure you do exactly what it says on the tin!

There is also a very good help forum and if you get into the main chat room (halo) there are plenty of people willing to help.

If youve got the equipment then give it a go. As has been said halo is superb online.

You need broadband, but ive got standard 512 k/b sec and as long as you play with people in the 'right' regions and on same format ie pal and pal or ntsc and ntsc etc, its usually fine.

Ive hosted games and joined others games with up to 8/9 other players so far with very little lag.
