I went to the XBC webpage but is still wondering about a lot of things. It is only for Halo. How do you hook it up, the diagrams they have did not help. I hope to get it soon. Getting sick and tired of Halo 2. Thanks guys.

Oh yeah also, it seems like the XBC games are a bit on the laggy side (rippons montage) it is like that all the time.

azn. you connect your ethernet to your modem/router and then open xbc client and login.

after that you just connect to system link on xbox which will bypass the router and straight to someone's game. or you can create a game and chat online while someone joins your game.

XBC can get very laggy. I'd say about 30% of games you'll play will have some soft of lagg in it.

All xbx does is it makes your xbox think like its a system link

Thanks a lot guys. Maybe Ill get this XBC thingy. One more question tho, can you communicate in the game like through a headset or it is all typing. Again thanks you guys explained it marvelously.

It's just all typing. but you don't really communicate with them in the game, just in beginning and after the game.

Yes exactly. The site seemed easy enough to read. All the games i have played on XBC have been laggy except Halo 2.

For me, even Halo2 is extremely laggy, I can be standing still and suddenly the frames jump and i am in a different place on the map getting killed!
Also I have a HUGE ping and really dont know just how to lower it. I have optimized my internet connection, run all my adware programs, and even have tried closing explorer while I was connected. Still My ping bounces from 500 something to sometimes over 2000 How can i get it lower?

Who is your ISP? You use DSL or Cable? What is your monthly plan called and how much is it?
