Xbox live is so much easier cause your already at your couch ( unless you have a modded xbox with boxlink, cause thats awsome)
x live is also kool, cause you get to use the communicator in everygame, and you can send voice requests, and there is always the downloadable content
plus there is the whole custamizing part of live, you chose what servers to get into, the rankings, and there are much more options,
however, xlink is awsome cause its FREEEEEE!!!!!
so thats the best partPost by: dfunked on January 19, 2004, 12:22:00 PM
XBox Live has hit 1 million plus users. If you want to find a game, you'll find it on XBox Live.
I hate these comparison things because in the end it's all up to each individual to make up their decision.
My opinion? I have both, and I rarely play on Live. I can't stand playing against so many goddamn little kids, or at least idiots who put voice masking on with the child mask. It's enough to make me hate the service. I've still yet to meet a dickhead on XLink...

Xlink beats Live! IMO Playing a bunch of people who just learned a new bad word at school and want to try it out on a tunneling service isnt my idea of a good time.

I've found the majority of people on xbox live are of a mature age too.
and the friends list is there so you can just play with people you KNOW are cool.

I've played some of the coolest of matches with guys on XLink, especially the X-Rated Clan of RS3 members. Damn they're funny at times :)
Like I said, all a matter of personal opinion..

My reasoning for asking what the differences were was to see if there was any real differences in gameplay as far as lag or game playablility. Ive been a xbox liver for over 1 year and I was going to finally mod my box. I really only play live games. In groups against my friends.
That was why I was asking...
anyother feedback would be great!
Thanks

live is a different story. its made by MS so its gonna be better but the community for xbc and x-link is better.

I have live but have only played maybe 15 times on it total... 9 out of 15 were with young kids, cussing, being obnoxious...I dont want to waste my time having to find a game without annoying kids, or having to report them to live. I want to play.
I have met more cool people to play with on xlink than I did on live. Live has some cool features, but because its so mainstream, you get all the junk with the good. I would rather spend time on xlink instead.
and xlink is great for modded and non modded users...the users are easily more mature than those on other tunnels.

| the part where ppl might see that xbl is better than xlink would be in the game performance....In xlink if one person has lagg usually everybody does but on xbl jus one person wil be jumping againt the screen...i still enjoy halo on xlink though wen theres no lag....both are prety easy to use... |
I have to say that i have never experienced this. Its the same with live, if one person has a laggy connection (if its laggy enough), it will bring the game down for all. Perhaps you are playing with a lot of foreigners on xlink, and thats what the problem has been. I have never seen this happen, and based on how tunneling works, it seems quite impossible for this to be true.

I put in Ghost recon selected live play & every lobby slot was full of games to join.

? it make the live experiance so much less of what is should be. Xlink Isnt as good as Xbox LiVE but at least you dont have to put up with the LiVE bull shit.

I would agree with all sentiments here about annoying little shits over the headphones; you just don't seem to get them on the tunnelling services as opposed to live. You get the odd bit of crapola in the chat rooms of both XBConnect and xlink although imho this is far, far more prevalent on xbconnect than xlink.
My only prob with tunnelling is that the scene is fragmented and therefore finding 'what' you want to play 'when' you want to play it is not a pick up and go experience like live! clearly is.

Every walk of life has 'em; deal with it, make your choice, enjoy.....
My one hope is that when XLink Kai is final and Team Avalaunch implement support (ala Bo-XLink) into their blinding dash that we will see a pretty damn hefty march into the XLink community. IMHO, that will be a result which has been a long time coming.

I think XBConnect is the best because people play THUG on it, not all the time though :-( AND YOU CAN EVEN PLAY WITH A 56k CONNECTION!
X-Link - no1 plays THUG, and Xbox Live - WHY DOSENT THUG HAVE LIVE SUPPORT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
