Xbconnect
-FREE
-little lag if you take the proper precautions (location, host, etc.)

Live
-NOT FREE (expensive)
-little lag

Why do people like Live so much?????????????

Now that Halo 2 has less poly's then it will lag even LESS for xbconnect, not that it does now if you do the above

It's true online multiplayer and more people use it.

My XB Connect tag is EL-DIABLO and I sometimes play Halo on there. Not that often anymore though.

Xbox live because all the little things we get like voice communicator, clans now, downloadable content, barely ever lags, more people play it.

you can have clans on xbconnect, it just takes, oh, maybe 5 more sec.?

dl content is usually for dumb games that don't sell more than 10 copies and need a new marketing strategy

xbconnect barely ever lags as long as you dont just randomly click on a host and you think it through (will this host in new zealand cause lag?)

enough people play connect to get a game 24/7, isn't that enough?

voice communicator is just freaky-nerd........."Roger, Spartan, I am moving to your position to move-in since my mother kicked me out"

That is one of the worst rebuttals I have ever heard. 1. You have to make a new tag every time you want to join a clan 2. You're saying Mechassault sucks because it has downloadable content. Downloadable content is to keep the game fresh and offer players some new things to do 3. Halo lags like a beyotch!!!! Man, sometimes it freezes completely on XB Connect. XB Connect is really buggy 4. Sure there is enough, but Halo 2 will have an average of 30,000+ online at once. The whole XBC network only averages 1,000 for every single game 4. Voice Communication is awesome! You need communication as well for team games. And don't you love rubbing it in when you win a game in the lobby?

1. OMG, NEW TAG OMG I AM GOING TO DIE OMG OMG OMG OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

2. Mechassault = worst game i've ever played...................so dl content is needed because they didn't get the game right the first time...........

3. Halo does not lag, once again, as long as you don't randomly pick a host.......Wow, that's a lot of effort, since you know, you can have the game list list them by ping time...........OMG OMG MY GAME LAGS BECAUSE I PICKED A HOST IN AFRICA OMG OMG OMG

4. I don't need 30,000+ people to play other games. I only need 1000 people to create all the possible game types. There is enough. I don't want extra cheese on a burger that already has 1 foot of cheese on it.

5. Voice Communicator is unnecessary, especially in Halo........Haven't you ever body humped?

Since it doesnt have anything to do with Halo 2 (which is the New Mombasa forum), this should most likely go in The Flood. Oh, and dont flame because thats against the rules and is punishable by "assignation by a falaming ninja" or a "hippo licking". So dont do it

The original post doesnt go here however. When a moderator sees this it will either be locked or moved. You might want to change the title a little bit and your initial question, then it will be ok :)

If xbconnect got a sweet as voice communictor, got rid of the lag and errors, made it so i didnt have to go through the searching for a game process and all that crap than ya maybe i would say that it was better just because it was free but other than that me personally im willing to spend the money on a service that is well worth it and basically kicks ass...

Here are the real pro and con

XbConnect
-Load of lag
-Communication is near nill
-Splitted screen
-Not many player
-Long to set up
-Host has the uber advantage
-Free as long as you have a good computer and a good connection.

XbLive
-Almost lag-less
-Very easy to communicate
-Every player has is own screen
-LOTS of players and games
-Easy to set up
-Host and player are on equal grounds
-Cheap and require a basic broadband connection
-Friend list
-Compatible with over 100 games
-Unique Gamertag

I am sorry but if you think that 50$ a YEARS is expensive you either:
-Have no job
-Are realy poor
-Just plain cheap

My 2 cent.
