xbox live on vista

[arbiter_346]

i recently read an article in Games For Windows (formerly known as Computer Gaming World) saying that gamers will be able to run xbl on vista, and actually chat with 360'ers, also with vissta games further in the future we might be able to pwn some 360 noobs as well.

p.s. the article is in the most recent issue of GFW, i think the feb issue.

I read somethinglike that but its xbox live not xbob lol.

[MasterChief2829]

Yeah, it's true. It's called "Live on Windows". Pretty old news actually...

[sickpimpin]

in the future we might be able to pwn some 360 noobs as well.

in the future we might be able to pwn some 360 noobs as well.With Shadowrun. It's going to be the first cross-platform multiplayer game for vista and 360:)

you can already play Final Fantasy XI from the computer, ps2, or 360 (and i heard its coming to ps3 too)

Um, ya that is Final Fantasy XI, and they might of all come out about the same time to, not 2 or 3 years space between the release dates like Halo 2 Xbox, and Halo 2 Vista.

I agree with Trace on this, the Halo 2 Xbox has been out longer then Halo 2 Vista, so they can't work with each other, and I wish that wasn't true, but oh well, I'll live, and same with you, all you can do with talk with your friends that are playing Xbox live.

[sickpimpin]

no one said H2V was cross platform, we were talking about playing cross platform, but not which game. (we did happen to mention a few games that are cross platform)

[~ZMT~Trace]

Then whats it doing in the Halo 2 Vista section? If it is any game that has cross-platform, then it should be in Tech Heaven, because this section is for Halo 2 Vista only.

[sickpimpin]

the thread started talking about vista, we just got a little off track...

I thought it was called "Live Anywere", w/e...

[Edward Elrich]

It was. If I remember correctly, it's supposed to be a mimic of XBL Matchmaking with optional custom play (for all the custom maps CMT is going to make, we need SOMEWHERE to play them without getting banned) It's still different: it's on a pc, it's free, and it's harder to standby than on Xbox (direct ip connections, which the Xbox won't have because it has no OS, unless you mod one for it :) )

But now it's called Live for Windows:)

[Cortexian]

oh. To bad xbl sucks, untill I can play my friends on 360's i'm not getting it.
