At least Halo 2 runs on live no problems.  I've played more of that on my 360 than I have 360 games....

I have completed CoD2, but I am trying it on veteran, which is pretty solid.

Halo 2 plays better on my 360 than it ever did on xbox.  Not blockier at all.  But I'm playing it with VGA cables on a projector with the 360 resolution at max.

the original xbox kicked serious ass Sparky! you obviously havent completed Halo on Legendary. most of my faves were offline anyway- JSRF, NHL etc...

but going to a frequently asked question about is EA's 'Black' being backwards compatible the answer is no and this is why:

the head of critereon said he phoned M$ 4 times to ask for it to be B/C.

there you have it folks, its M$ which determine B/C titles, not the developers- they have nothing to do with the process :evil:

yea, but that just means more waiting...

on another note: matt i see why halo would be fun, but if you keep playing the story line on legendary, you'll get too tired of it, and won't pick it up for a long while...

back on track: black 2 will hopefully a good game, and it's a shame that it's not on the 360. i'm just glad that the ps2 has it

yea but see, that's just the point: it's the multiplayer that keeps you in, and it's even better online. Call of Duty seems to be a better game online, that's why i was so surprised...

well then, agreed to disagree then, although i do have to agree with you on the whole bragging rights thing

there should be an update within a couple of weeks as they said we would get one in march and are still yet to see one

COD2 spoiled me

I HATE HALO 2(sry)

Single player and Online

It just seems too slow paced compared to COD2.

IN halo shooting didnt feel right (too weak) and just wasnt any fun for me.

One problem with COD2 though in the british campain while in france look at the dirt ground and walk forward slowly you will see a blury line drawing the textures. (same with american missions)

But the russian missions were made perfectly. The american one was the worse with textures. But other than that it was fast paced and fun.

I keep looking at Black and Battlefront 2 , i cant part with any cash unless they work- I have too many Xbox game ornaments now

and why is it that you say that?

yeh just to confirm the updates up

they have now updated a few games already on the list including HL2 and Halo2 as well as adding:

-Black
-SW Battlefront 2
-Winning Eleven 9*

I've heard these games all suffer problems and i'm dissapointed that they only managed 3 games! :evil:  but there is rumour that another update will be out before the months end so heres hoping...

*I think Winning Eleven is only b/c in america, i say this because Pro Evo 5 is already available to the Euro market so only really 2 big name updates for us in the UK
