| Ah, XBConnect. So many fun memories. Me and my brother connected across the Atlantic to a "server/game" on the east coast, I wanna say upstate New York maybe? Fantastic bunch of dudes, the main one had a fat fiber pipe so 16 player matches were smooth. We played alot of "party" style game modes (zombies and duck hunt type games) And some modded game modes came about that were fantastic fun. Cat and mouse on the Coagulation map, where the cats were in wraiths, and everyone could spawn in their own warthog to drive using the plasma pistol, wraiths were honour bound to not fire, boost only until the last minute, and hogs had to not hide in bases/caves. There was also Tremors, with ghosts as the graboids. XBConnect was solid enough that I could rig a network switch to my desktop, and both our consoles could work with it. Lost touch with them after Halo 3 when system link above ~20ms got "blocked" :( |
