XBox live question

How does one chat to another player? What do you need? Just the head-set/communicator?

Thanks.

Yep, you can also send text messages as a message to someone as well....but not during a game...thats just headset. In Halo, you hold down the white button to talk to your team, or if u just talk in the mic, it will be heard by players that are close to you in the game...nice for trash talking after you just own someone.

I'm just going to run 1 long wire from my XBox to my router and leave my wireless network as is. It shouldn't be a problem. Does anyone else have this type of set-up? I don't feel like buying the wireless adapter for $80 [img]/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img]

I do man, its a much better investment then the wireless, because I have no idea how good the xbox one is. I had to run about 40ft of cable to hook mine up.

The headset is tight man, I guess you can also use any headset with a earpiece and a mic as long as it fits into the jack.

Do you have a wireless network at home then just run the cable to the XBox? You have no problems eh?

ThaSaltCracka · #6 11-12-2004, 12:19 PM

yeah I have a wireless network for my computer, and I even tried to set up my laptop as a network with my xbox getting its connection from that, but I either can't do it or I can't figure out how to do it. Either way, I decided to drill some holes and run a cable.

You use a striaght-through or a cross-over cable? Is your Xbox cabled into your PC or your router? Router, right?

ThaSaltCracka · #8 11-12-2004, 12:31 PM

straight through, yeah its plugged into the router. You can use the xbox link cable, which is a cross-over.

Nah..I just stole a 75ft cable from work. [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img] [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img] I need at least 50 feet to reach the router in my roommates room.

So we're all going to be in a clan...what exactly can we do? Battles against other clans?

I want you Cracka...me and you. Mono a mono. Ur gonna be sorry you ever helped me get XBox live..and MORE sorry you bought the system after I get done with your punk-ass!

*runs* lol

LMAO, yeah, we can battle other clans, but we can also form "parties" of clan members and go play big team battles with all of us on the same team. Yesterday, there was three of us going around playing big team battles, and we were just soning fools.

We can go head to head a couple times. I warn you, this game is much harder than Halo 1, IMO.
