[ZeroToHero]

Which one is better for..

- Xbox Live
- Communication

[Steve]

As a whole GRAW. Multiplayer wise BF2. Just wish they had more than just Conquest.

[Killer 57]

GRAW I would say, I haven't played BF but I have not heard too many good things about it. PDZ is my game of choice though :cool:

[ZeroToHero]

yah, im already getting PDZ local..
but i wanna get bf2 or cod2 or graw...

i have BF2 on my PC, and its pretty good...But...i can play BF2 on my PC anytime right? so i might aswell go with GRAW...
But has Graw have good xbox live etc..and maps?

[phatmuther]

well if you have bf2 already you might probably go for graw, but its not like bf2, so if you like that style you might not like/enjoy graw as much.
Im a big fan of bf2 myself and would choose that over graw, but i still enjoy graw aswell.

what you could do is wait until you get the 360 and download the demo's of each and then decide (Y)

oh steve, they have CTF aswell, but yeah your right, too few a options for game type

[shanemaester]

like Phatmuther said im BF2 fan though do have both just find i get more enjoyment from BF2 in GRAW i tend to be told off alot for dying :|

[ZeroToHero]

BF2 it is then... :-) it is a great game..
but is there more guns now than normal PC v1 BF2?

[ZeroToHero]

oi! i just remember im trading in my GBASP and a game..So ill have money left over for Cod2 or GRAW! w00t

[Killer 57]

Nah I would say GRAW, more tactics involved, its a lot more enjoyable, we play it a lot around here along with PDZ.

[Steve]

Speaking of GRAW anyone up for a 1 AM match right now?

[ZeroToHero]

I can probably get GRAW + BF2MC :)

If my Mommy is nice :D

[mjmaskrey]

GRAW online is very limited....BF2 all the way.

GRAW's saving grace is the single player whereas BF2's single player is pretty much training for going online.

Far more tactics (solo or team tactics) can be used in BF2 then you ever could in GRAW, has more weapons and some quality combo's and of course vehicles. Sure BF2 only has 2 game variants but conquest beats down all modes offered in GRAW easily and is so good I haven't even tried Capture the Flag yet.

Get both if you can with CoD2 behind both of those.

:)

[smileemptysoul]

alot of the maps in bf2 are very similer to bf1942 but it isn;t as good. bf2 beats GRAW any day multi player wise

[Raisedbyflames]

i own boththe pcand360 version of bf2 and the pcversion is better because it has bigger maps planes and commanders, you got to relisethe360couldhandlethe pcversioneasily and what we get is a dumbed down waterd down to work on the ps2 and xbox then done up graphicly for the 360. you got to ask yourself why didthey do this its shocking.

despite all the things i hate about it, ilike the game its funto play and the smaller maps are built for action. youcan understand that i voted for graw i enjoy the game more online anyway

[ZeroToHero]

ight, also to get microsfot or marketplace points what in games do you do?

[phatmuther]

as in points to buy stuff?
you have to buy em, either in a shop, or on your xbox in the marketplace

[ZeroToHero]

so you paid for all your "15081" points?

how you buy them in marketplace?
paypal? :)

[Killer 57]

Nope those are GamerPoints which you earned by getting Achievements in games, Microsoft Points are those you have to buy and use as a currency online.

^^^all you need to know about the Marketplace.

[ZeroToHero]

so what do gamerpoints do/get??

[Killer 57]

so what do gamerpoints do/get??

Nothing really, but some people *cough*Raisedbyflames*cough are obsessed with getting them, to have more then the other guy, as you can see some people even have battles like Phatmuther and Raisedbyflames.

[ZeroToHero]

1. When you first start up your 360, you will first be prompted to select a language then after that you will recover your Gamertag (ZerotoHero660 the screen will be a Pass Port log in, you will enter the E-mail and Password you used to create the tag, Viola! you got your gamertag.

However you will be a Silver Member which means you can't play online, if you have the Pre-paid Card, Such as this one (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000B9RI00/qid=1151551811/sr=8-5/ref=pd_bbs_5/002-6759741-2901650?%5Fencoding=UTF8&v=glance&n=468642) then all you do is select Become a Member (I think), and just enter a the Code on to the Menu, or you can just by one right off the Dashboard if you have a Credit Card, one you are done entering the Code, you are Officially a Gold Member! You can now play online!

It's really hard to explain really, but the Dashboard is very User Friendly, don't worry when it come time to do it, you will know what to do :)

2. Thanks, look forward to playing online with you :cool:

[derekm91]

I like GRAW better for offline play but for online play BF2MC takes the cake.

[Raisedbyflames]

nice one killer ive given yuo rep for been a good helper bloke

[derekm91]

ah man i wish i had rep. haha, but really i do.

[Raisedbyflames]

gamerpoints add to the qhole communitything thexbox live has, some achievemnts are classed as better than others, for intance callof duty2 on the hardist setting people lookat your pointsandallthey see is the numbersbut when they gointo the profile they can see that ive done call of duty 2 got 10 headshots in perfect dark zero online.

yeah they are addictive but i havent played a game i dont want to yet, its gives you a nice warmfeling insidetoo

[backin-strachan]

Multiplayer Id have to lean towards BF2 even though I have only played the demo. In BF2 everything seems really fast which I like but GRAW has a fantastic story mode which combined with a pretty decent multiplayer I would get over BF2.

TBH mate, now that the C0D2 patch has beeen released I would get that, the story mode alone on that game outstrips the features of both games.
COD2 or GRAW mate take it from me

(Y)

[AfroJoe]

GRAW for me.

Battlefield feels too big, and I don't like the vehicles. Not enough game types, either. Plus people move too quickly, although I suppose that's to be expected considering the size of the maps.

[ZeroToHero]

+rep for killer, hes been helping me whole way.

[D4VY]

BF2 Online really is very good, I haven't got GRAW so I can't really comment on that. :'(

[ZeroToHero]

oh 1 more..
i dont know if i asked this already but...

Wall -> Ethernet Cable --> Router --> Router Cable --> Xbox?

would that work or not

[Headshot]

GRAW woops BF2 ass in every way, graohics, sound, replay, single player, multiplayer, achievments etcm go 4 GRAW! mor people play it here

[padds78]

I voted for BF2 as its by far the best game ive got on the 360 with PDZ a close second.

[ZeroToHero]

oh 1 more..
i dont know if i asked this already but...

Wall -> Ethernet Cable --> Router --> Router Cable --> Xbox?

would that work or not


please answer...

[phatmuther]

oh 1 more..
i dont know if i asked this already but...

Wall -> Ethernet Cable --> Router --> Router Cable --> Xbox?

would that work or not

well over here in the uk we cant plug ethernet cables into the wall, so.....

BUT

it would be like

Phone socket -> phone cable thing - >Modem/router -> ethernet cable -> xbox

basically plug your xbox into the router or modem via an ethernet cable and it should do the job

if its near a pc, and the pc's got a free ethernet port, plug the 360 into that (Y)

if thats not very clear, just let me know, im crap at describing stuff :D

[D4VY]

yes, yes you are. ;)

[mjmaskrey]

rofl I'm sure he didn't mean he would plug it in a brick or breeze block like!!

But yeah Modem > ethernet cable > router > ethernet cable > 360

Just try it, you can't harm it and if you have issues post back...I managed to get mine setup and solve disconnects that really effed me off for a good day or so...so I know a few things.

:)

[D4VY]

BANG!

I thought you said nothing could go wrong. :(

[ZeroToHero]

i dont have another modem tho thats problem.. and its not near one, or a PC..
phatmutha said
"Phone socket -> phone cable thing - >Modem/router -> ethernet cable -> xbox"
Ok i have a 50FT Xbox Live cable? that goes through the ROUTER into da Xbox..
I think the port is WLAN right? theres a SMALLER cable (the head thingy) which goes into the telephone jack or w.e...but its too small to fit into my Router i think.. CONFUSED..
my Current PC setup is..
Telephone Jack/wall -> Telephone Cable-- > Modem --> modem cable --> Router --> router cable --> PC

But im trying to do..
Telephone jack/wall ---> telephone cable? --> Router?? --> Ethernet 50FT Cable/WLAN or w.e cable --> Xbox...

... O_o

Telephone Jack/wall -> Telephone Cable-- > Modem --> modem cable --> Router --> router cable --> PC (Y)

Telephone Jack/wall -> Telephone Cable-- > Modem --> modem cable --> Router --> router cable --> xbox (Y)

much simpler :D

edit: one of the four porrts on the left of the router (Y)

[ZeroToHero]

But I dont want to get another effing telephone cable and Modem

[D4VY]

:o you stole my router.

thief.

[phatmuther]

But I dont want to get another effing telephone cable and Modem
no you dont, just another ethernet cable, running from your current router to the xbox

so two ethernet cables are plugged into the router

[phatmuther]

Telephone Jack/wall -> Telephone Cable-- > Modem --> modem cable --> Router --> router cable --> PC
--> router cable --> xbox

(Y)

[ZeroToHero]

srry, but i said in other post, that this is in a Diff Room...not near Modem or PC :S

[ZeroToHero]

I will just buy a Rj11 phone cable,modem and a splitter thats all i need...EBAY!

[phatmuther]

but you wont be able to have two internet connections dialed at once.

is your router wireless?
if so you could just buy the wireless adapter for the 360

[ZeroToHero]

im not on Dial up?

I cant have to modems + routers?

and no router isnt wireles..

[phatmuther]

ive made a pigs ear out of this havnt i :D

i dont think you can have two modems in the same house connected to the same internet account, at the same time

just run a massive ethernet cable to the other room :D

sorry ive been crap in helping you out (N)

[ZeroToHero]

my mom would be ..

WHAT IF i...
unplugged the modem/router i use downstairs PC...and i only use the xbox modem/router upstairs?
then when i use my PC..i do the opposite?

Modem -> PC
and Modem -> Router -> Xbox


so....same thing?

[ZeroToHero]
