Does anyone agree since 99% of people on XBC play Halo and will probably stop playing that to play Halo 2. Besides, who wants to juggle an xbox and computer when you can just play on Xbox Live. Unless your a cheap bastard...

Yes xbox connect sucks. There is so much lag, and the host always gets perfect head shots with no lag. I hate it when my ping jumps all over the place too. I do agree, XBC is finished when Halo 2 comes out.

I am not so sure that XBC will be completely gone on 11/9. My only reasoning is that with XBL you are limited to 4 people playing at the same time. That is if the leaked beta shots are right. If it is not right and you can only play with one person per XBOX on XBL, then I think that many people will choose to play on XBC when they have friends over.

I for one will keep playing on XBC, even though I have XBL. Obviously I will be on XBL a lot more, but I will hit up XBC every now and then.

Dead? NO....but less activity YES.

Is XBC similar to Gamespy Tunnel? What is it?

hey.... :) I'm a cheap bastard! I'll probably play halo2 on xbc as many others. Sure, there will be less activity on xbc, but it won't be dead. There's a lot of people out there that were not able to get/afford Live before and maybe getting halo2 won't change that. I may end up getting Live because of what I've heard about all the work they've done in testing to make things run smoothly- but until then, xbc.

I'm too lazy to search it. Is xbc a utility that lets you link over the internet? like Gamespy arcade/tunnel?

Yeah. It simulates a system linked game by finding other people using the same program. The service is terrible, and with having to conect it to your computer, it's a waste of time, and money if you buy their pro service.

Don't be surprised if Bungie engineers some way to make XBC not work on the new Halo 2 game. There may not be a way around it, and they may not even try, but there's plenty of reasons to force mgirate people on Live, especially since Halo 2's a completely different game with a completely different engine. XBC may not be possible on Halo 2.

I'm hoping people will ditch XBC and just buy LIVE. It's cheap, worth your money... OFFICIAL, WORKS, voice comunication. There isn't a reason not to get it.
