I'm online playing it often during my spare time. But I play at XBC ( http://www.xbconnect.com ). 8)

It's free, it's legal, and it has better people playing at it (well that's what I'm told by Live users who have switched over to XBC).

Headsets work so you don't miss out on talking to one another. :D

I'm "JOIN_RIGHT_N0W" if anyone else has it.

I heard it's slower. I also heard that I payed for a year of xbox live and don't feel like letting my $$ go to waste. ;)

Slower? Nah. If anything it's faster because it's peer-to-peer connecting instead of being connected to a central Live server. I play with a lot of people in my city, who also share my ISP, and we ping less than 20 on average, which is awesome. And that is compared to a 90-100 ping to the Canadian Live server. :?

And many people I know use their Live subscription and XBC just to play with different people, so if you ever want some variety, make sure to give me a holla! ;)

Lmao, the reason the people "sucks" on Xbox Live is because the better you play in your online games, the better people you will go against. Plus, you get 3 free months of XBL with Halo 2, why wouldn't you play on Live?
