Title: Halo2 Rocks On Kai
Post by: angrypants on November 10, 2004, 04:03:00 PM
WOW, I have played halo 1 on kai a few times and it was fun but I just found it to lag way to much. I just tried halo 2 on kai and I was blown away at how smooth it is.  True there is a little lag from time to time but it's pretty impressive stuff.

Then you will like halo 2 on xbc because there are like 10x as many people on there.

xbox live is nice because of more people, but kai is so much faster to get in a game.  Live has the bonus of content download though. I have both so i can experience both

Live? Waiting 10 minutes to find a game and play for 2 minutes? No thanks.
XBC? Sit all day at the PC trying to join games? Don't give me this neXBC rubbish - nobody's even using it and from all I've heard, its performance is half assed compared to Kai.

So what if Live has 102304892082904 players online? It takes me on average 4 - 5 minutes to find 7 players. Takes me 30 seconds to run Kai, log in, and jump into the Halo 2 arena. Go figure..

Just so you know.. it's getting a lot better now. Updates are coming out, and matchmaking is running faster.

And BTW, only XBL supports online stats. It's an amazing system that Bungie has done, and your jaw just drops at the amount of information for your prior match in just mere minutes already online.

I can almost guarantee you're not paying for your video games. You should have lots of money to pay for Live. Oh wait...you actually have to buy games to play them on live.

Holy crap!  Look at all the trollers in this thread!


Last time I checked I was in the Xlink Kai forum, not the XBL or the XBC forums.  Funny that.






Halo 2 is great on Kai.

Props to the Kai team for making it easy for us to play online with lots of people AND NOT GET BANNED FROM XBL!!!  


fools.

Not really. You can have a 2 month trial subscription, and then sign up for $6 a month.

Not trolling. Someone said Halo 2 matchmaking can run slow, but with recent upgrades and patches, it's being fixed. So, I am correcting a false statement.

Yes really, do the math yourself, no matter how you make it out $6*12=$50 like the person stated, yes you can get 2 month trials but that is a different question alltogether.
And myabe $50 is a lot to people, just because you don't think it is doesn't mean other people don't.

Actually you are not correcting a false statement at all, someone saying halo 2 matchmaking can run slow is not false, under your interpretation it may be, however it's like asking how long is a piece of string. IMO Live is still slow, and in yours it's not.

I agree with you, if they haven't tried it so be it. However you don't seem to have read my post, someone being too 'fucken' cheap for $6 is not a very nice comment, as not everyone has that amount of money easily available.

dont know much about xbox live b/c to me the only way to own an xbox is for it to be modded and chipping is just a waste of money in my opinion i did the soft mod two boxes one with 120gb maxtor no problem kai kicks major ass some lag but it happens way better than xbconnect on halo 1 though im not dissing on live if thats your thing go for it but the rest of us out there who cherish our (6 dollars a month) are enjoying the hell out of kai thanks for all the work the kai team put in on it its sweet

I love Kai as well. Nothing like being able to play online games for free, and I don't think anyone could do it better. Thumbs up to the devs of Xlink Kai, as it is a great product. So much fun being able to link up with my friends, and not have to worry if they have a subscription or not. Halo 2 ran great when I was playing it the last two days. People may complain about a few things, but its free. It's done right, and halo 2 definitely runs great as well, see you all in the game!
