XBox Live vs PS2 Online

Perfect Stu · 04-01-2004, 06:21 PM

Since I dont play online THAT much, I'm really happy with PS2 online. I think XBL is the better service for someone who really wants to get involved with the whole online community thing...but I'd rather not pay until something like Halo 2 comes out.

To play a game like SOCOM 2 online:

-PS2
-Network Adapter
-functioning ISP

pretty much it

SOCOM's the only real good squad-based one on PS2. On Xbox Live, there's a ton. And it'll definitely be worth it for Halo 2. Besides, you have broadband. Might as well make use of it. I hate lag in online games from 56Kers in anything but PSO.

Yeah that's the thing, it might be worth it just to play Halo 2. All broadband is an attractive feature too.

56k'ers dont cause you to lag. its just them thats lagging.

waiting for them is not making you lag. and thats in that gametype.

in a gametype like a FPS unless its coded wrong, it should appear normal, but only choppy on the low connection persons screen. That not the game type we're talkin about?

Null I should edit all your posts for starting about PCs again.

Stop it right now, as the title says, this is between XB Live and PS2 online.
