I was wondering how many people us XBconnect and if it's usually got players on it that are willing to play?

[kkattfish]

xbconnect by far has the most players.  maybe even more than xbl,  
seriously though, it's good, and a lot of willing players.

[thr3311jd]

that's great to know, thanks man

1 more thing, do they have stats or anything?

I wish they made an option to block seeing games like Halo.

The game is a year and a half old people!

What? So, it's a classic. Just because it's a year old people aren't going to stop playing it
it's an awesome game, just use the filter to find the game you want or list the games in alphabetical order

Halo on xbconnect is incredible. Usually, I get my ass kicked though.

yep u can use backups

xbconnect is by far probably the best thing to hit the xbox aside from halo itself. tons of people use xbc (no matter what time of day), mainly for halo. but who needs any other games if you got halo.. theres tons of options for online games with it plus a variety of of people with different skill levels on it. if your looking to play other games besides halo using system link, you should try gamespy.. i personally do not use it at all because i just play halo, and i like the setup on xbc a lot better. also as mentioned above, you can play with backups with it. just dont try to cheat by using a trainer, cause thats not gonna work.. you will get a message about your xbox being outta sync, and and it will give you a network error message.

the only way i, or anyone else could see that happening, is if more soild titles, such as halo come out with a system link option only... other than that i doubt it. if anything M$ is gonna stop making the system link compatable games due to them not making any money off of the acutally system link play.

[Carbon]

I disagree. Most of it is up to the developers and system link can sell more games to a gamer on the fence or something.

Huh?  

That's like saying MS will soon take out 2 player split screen because its not giving them any money. Selling the game gives MS the money!

In my humble experience Xbox Live has more people playing then XBConnect. I really admire XBConnect, but its like %95 HALO. Even when I was Beta testing XBL I had no trouble finding people to play. Not so with XBConnect.

With XBConnect its not that easy to find a game of MotoGP, Unreal, or just about anything other then HALO and maybe Wolfenstein.

XBConnect is good when it works but can be a little fussy. XBC usually shows 100-400 people online at any given time, whereas I understand from M$ that they have 1000's online. Doesn't make it better, but it helps online gaming if you have a lot of people. Could be just M$ propaganda, but in my experience they have superior numbers and a greater variety of games going on at any time.

Personally I hope XBC keeps growing.    

[Carbon]

There are 350,000 Xbox Live users.

I disagree about Wolfenstein. Brute Force and Halo seem to be the only consistent games played.

I went to blockbuster just becasue it was system link
