Phantom Dust should arrive tomorow

We'll be playing Splinter Cell Chaos Theory tomorrow. Suck it, bitch.

Watch out for this "Brandon F" guy on Phantom Dust. He goes and hides in a corner while the other 3 players beat the hell out of each other. He comes out of hiding when there is only one player left with practically no health. After he wins, he talks mad shit. What a damn douche.

so this phantom dust....is it really that good?

It's ok...

I wouldn't go out either if I had a shitty skill selection from the start. Oh hey thanks, 3 Aura Particles! Just what I need! Oh look here comes 2 guys coming way...

The fact that Microsoft allows this to continue is worrying and should be highlighted.

What are they gonna do?They've already proven their feedback system is complete trash since half of the GAF Halo clan got banned.

I'll be on Xbox Live in a few days, Splinter Cell 3 - best.multiplayer.ever returns!

I haven't really had bad experiences on Xbox Live other than the occasional Halo 2 game. The older guys like late teens, early 20's and late 20's early 30's are usually always good mannered and never really swear all that much. It's the stupid little 10, 11 and 12 year olds that can never shut their mouths and they're the ones that ruin the whole game.

why did they get banned?

My experience pretty much went like everyone else's. I usually only played from Midnight on and I had very few games that didnt end in the host closing it because of the constant racists remarks and foul language. It also wasnt really the fact that they cursed but more that they would just come into the games and try to ruin the game. If they could just play the game properly while cursing I would have been happy. So i cancelled it and I been playing on xlink, I still run into the same type of players from time to time but atleast I aint paying for a service that doesnt really do anything about it.

 

[Ramirez]

Because they thought we were cheating because we faced like 5 teams in a row who were lagging bad.I was banned too,I know no one in the clan cheats,it's BS.

 

[Kabuki Waq]

so cause one clan said you guys were cheating they banned hte clan? that is fucking ridiculous.

 

[Ramirez]

Nah it was like 5 matches in a row with like 8 on 8 matches,people lag in those modes,but of course everyone says its cheating.

To be honest, I've only played Xbox Live when it's absolutely necessary -- as in, when I need to review a game with an Xbox Live component.

I remember being in the beta test for Xbox Live before its general release. I was playing Re-Volt with some game writers, Microsoft employees, and a few members of the general public. Even then I could see two things:

1) It's really fun to play online
2) Other people suck.

When I gave the controller and headset to my friend Katie, it took less than three minutes for her to hand them back to me. After learning there was a woman at the other end of the headset everybody dropped all pretense of civility and just became total a-holes.

She never told me what they said to her, but I can imagine.

Oh, and I would be remiss if I didn't mention the antics of Xbox Nation's first art director Dave Z. Dave was a great guy, and he did some of the funniest routines I've ever heard on Xbox Live. He was never abusive, but he was certainly ... um ... unnerving.

"You like unicorns?" he'd ask the other players, making sure they were down with the "Unicorn Posse." Then, he'd tell everyone about what he had for lunch, and how our boss (who was maybe ten feet away in another cubicle) was pissing him off.

I wish I could accurately portray Dave's quirky sense of humor online. But I'll never forget laughing until it hurt when he played Xbox Live.

Some guy tried to pick Gill (the final boss) in Street Fighter Anniversary Collection. Lets see, he's fast, extremely strong, has tons of anti-air moves, has a 'hit everywhere, does more chip damage than some other specials' move and, oh yeah, FUCKING RESURRECTS HIMSELF AFTER YOU BEAT HIM if you have a full powerbar (which isnt' that hard to get)... and the bastard has the nerve to go "don't drop out man, that's gay!"

I played him a round, and he turtled like a bitch. It's like playing a game of Halo against someone who starts off with the Rocket Launcher, Sniper Rifle and then camps. Very nice (drops out, loss for him).

Worst part is is that there already is a character like Gill. If you like his playing style, pick Urien for godsake.

Oh...I thought this thread was about embarrasing moments on Xbox Live. I had one when I was being called from the basement and I yell out "WHHAAATT?!?!" and everybody else playing Moto GP was like "what the hell?".

No shouts of "Nigger,fag,motherfucker,etc"?That's a pretty mild experience if you ask me!

When that sort of stuff happens, at least in the rooms I usually frequent, the person is kicked; and everyone in the room gives them bad feedback. About a month ago I was in a room, and some ass-clowns came over to the room just to taunt one of the guys who is a regular in the room. This wasn't the first time it happened either because they did the same thing prior to that in a room I was hosting.

The same thing happened in both rooms: kicked and bad feedback. Some are harder to kick than others though. I assume this relates to them having hacked Xbox's.
