  XBC Xbox Connect

  definatly worth the download

  by: ignatius89 on 01-Nov-2006 08:55:57 AM

  Pros: Its free.

  A lot like XBox live.

  If you just wanna play some halo / halo 2 then this is the program. Easy to install and get working. All you have to do is install and plug in your xbox and it works. Even with routers and other networking equiptment (not directly plugged into your computer) on your LAN

  Cons: NO rankings. Wish there were

  Too Many people w/ mods and other bullshit stuff that may piss you off until you find a decent room.

  Good download

  by: Progamer50 on 30-Jul-2006 12:12:36 PM

  Pros: It's free, has a pretty large fanbase and not too large of a download.

  Cons: Lots of hackers/modders, can take awhile to find a properly configured room, people complain too much, and you need to have a 128K internet connection for it to work.

  Great, and it's free!!

  by: SOADNiCk947 on 20-Jan-2006 06:17:55 PM

  Pros: Well, we have Xbox Live, but I was getting sick of Microsoft taking advantage of its customers by charging so much money for their subscription. The only game that has people in it is Halo 2!!! I mean come on! So I was browsing Download.com and found this. The more I read, the more excited I became of it. The possiblities seem endless with this. DO NOT GO TO XBOX LIVE! THIS IS MUCH MUCH BETTER (I can't stress this enough!!! It's really, really AMAZING!!!

  Cons: If you are a beginner with networking, you might have some trouble setting this up. Have a friend who knows about this type of thing set it up for you. It might be easier for you to understand how to operate it if someone did it for you. Umm... Well, there isn't that too terribly many servers for all the games supported. HOWEVER, if you go to Xbox Live, you won't find it any better.

  Awesome, its like XBOX live, but free..!

  by: Fusionsnow148 on 21-Jan-2006 10:03:32 AM

  Pros: This is awesome, and just what you need if you want XBOX live but dont want to pay. It is absolutely free! You can even hook multiple Xboxes up and play with multiple xboxes online. Set-up is basicly pretty simple as well.

  The Best xbox live alternative

  by: Spymaster on 03-Apr-2006 04:37:06 PM

  Pros: Im telling you, this is one of the best programs out there to connect your xbox and play online multiplayer games. This has no ads what so ever and has a chat server as soon as you log in. Once you get into the zone in using this software you can join clans or even start your own. This program uses system link on your xbox, the internet is the system link cable. You can play with people all over the world. YES! it is true.....Halo 1 does have system link and you can play and host halo 1 on xbconnect. That means that you get the Halo 2 experience with the original game.Any game with system link capabilities works on xbconnect. After you get the software and install it.... in the chat interface type in "/help" (without the quatations). This will take you over to the chat server and ask someone how to connect you xbox to your computer so you can begin the playing.

  Cons: NONE!!!!!! If you need additional help right click your buddy list on the program, then hit add buddy, after that type in Spymaster, that is my screen name. I can help you to connect to start playing. ~~~~~Highly reccommended program~~~~~
