[rubecube]

Mine is MadHerb. I play Madden, NCAA, MLB, NHL, Rainbow Six, Halo 3, COD 4.

[PowerPlayoffs06]

What makes this thread Official? Is it sponsored by Microsoft? ;)

Hopefully I'll be getting Xbox by the end of the month and I'll be needing some folks to play with. All my buds have PS3s... :bag:

Guitar Hero online would be nuts.

[Bean]

I got mine for christmas and havnt set it up yet. I am setting it up now but it says "Xbox Live cannot create gamertag at this moment, try again later"

[AFireInside]

My gamertag is "The Westicle"

I'm mostly on NHL 08, COD4, and I'll probably try rockband here and there as well..

Always up for a game of NHL 08....

[Swayze11]

[Sled]

I've been having a lot of trouble with my telus internet connection dropping me from xbox live. Has any else had this problem?

[foofighter15]

I've been having a lot of trouble with my telus internet connection dropping me from xbox live. Has any else had this problem?
Huge problems for me. I log in, and 20 minutes later I get booted. Its brutal.
However, I think I'm on SHAW, which makes me think its XBox Live

[Swayze11]

I called them today and they said they have been having that problem a lot today. They said they are working on it, Ive been playing 2 people in NHL 08 now and I was up by 3 goals in both and it disconnected in the 3rd period

[Gravitykillr]

be atleast 3 weeks for me before I'll be able to play, yesterday I tried to play rockband and it make these loud chunking noises, figured it was the cd went and got it exchanged tried to put a few of my games in today and it won't work, phoned futureshop and they said to bring it in and 2-3 weeks they'll either fix it or give me a new one

[spydermal]

Gamertag=spydermal
The games I play most of the time are COD4,nhl2k8,Halo 3.

[Shawnski]

I've been having a lot of trouble with my telus internet connection dropping me from xbox live. Has any else had this problem?

Hey bud,

As previously mentioned, it isn't just TELUS.

I started a thread on the problem here. (http://forum.calgarypuck.com/showthread.php?t=52425) It is and has always been an XBox Live problem.

Has been frustrating for sure.

[Swayze11]

anyone wanna play Halo 3?

[I_H8_Crawford]

Gamertag is Kevin Feterik.

I play mostly GH 3 and soon Rockband online, with a bit of NHL 08 and Halo 3 (I get smoked at those games on regular basis!)

[FlamesPuck12]

Anyone here interested in remaking a CP NHL 08 League? Let me know, if we get enough people to join, we might be able to start another one.

[GoinAllTheWay]

Tag is Great Crouton

I have DiRT, NHL 08, TWG 08 and Halo 3. Would love it if the CP league was to reform. Don't get me wrong, I like playing the computer in the Dynasty League but nothing beats playing another human that is prone to mistakes like I am. I find the online games to be very stressful but very exciting.

I love playing online, especially if they only try to body check you. Just pull a 1 on 1 deak and breakaway! lol

[FlamesPuck12]

Also, for the NHL 08 league play, is it like Dynasty season where you can trade players with other teams or is it just games.

[GoinAllTheWay]

Man, trying to master that one on one deke is becoming difficult for me. I'm pretty sure you need the right type of player to pull that move effectivley (Like Juice over Conny for instance) but it seems as though I let the puck "Float" to much and it's pokechecked away before I have a chance to pick it up again.

[foofighter15]

Im in for the league.
I don't know how the live league system works. But I was thinking we could even make our own league could we not?
We get a bunch of us, designate a team per player, and then just play each other. That way we can use our own rules, and other stuff

[AFireInside]

I'm up for the league as well...

[FlamesPuck12]

A problem I had was that I keep losing control because my skills stick and the skate stick were not going the same direction. I usually have my skate stick tilted diagonally up like a "/" but sometimes I tap skill stick to horizontally and overskate. Just remember to have both sticks pointing to the same direction.

[FlamesPuck12]

I got the league set up.
Name: Calgarypuck
Abbreviation: CPL
Max Players: 15
Games Against Each Player: 3
5 min / period games, NHL Rules, Penalties and Fighting On

So how do I start inviting people to join the league?

[AFireInside]

I tried to join, but it says I need a password

[FlamesPuck12]

Oops forgot, it is "Flames"
How did you request to join?

[AFireInside]

I just searched it, I'm going to try again

[AFireInside]

Ok I'm in!

[FlamesPuck12]

Alright I'll post a thread for our CP league. Hopefully we get 10+ people interested.

[AFireInside]

Unfortunately I imagine everyone will pick the flames as their team, I just realized that we are both the Flames lol!

[FlamesPuck12]

haha obviously but I don't think thats a problem, I might change to another team if it starts getting to be out of control. By the way can you come online tomorrow? I want to test out if we can actually trade players, edit lines and stuff.

[AFireInside]

Yeah I will be online at some point tomorrow evening for sure

[PowerPlayoffs06]

Got myself all hooked up on Live last night after picking up an Xbox on the weekend.

If anybody wants to add me, my tag is RapiersEdge.

Right now all I have for games is Halo 3, Marvel Ultimate Alliance and Forza Motorsport. Hope to pick up one or two more with the next paycheque... So I guess I should get to work. :D

[foofighter15]

Give me some time to get in on that league! Probably do so after the game tonight

[FlamesKickAss]

Cant trade i know that for sure. If everyone is the flames who would you trade anyways? I might sign up, i'm just so into COD 4 right now

[FlamesPuck12]

Alright, I got the NHL 08 thread up so if you guys want more info, it will be posted there. Also, if anyone want to join they can post there.

[nickerjones]

my gamertag is nickerjones10 .... im gonna add all of you. I play Cod 4 and nhl 08 and mlb........... and im horrible at nhl 08 .... i cant figure out why these guys can line me up and check my from across the ice and i cant touch them.... and they get alot of weak goals. Like a clear shot from the blue line seems to evade kipper at least once a game... ( maybe thats realistic) and i dont understand why i have to download rosters everytime i go on live... but i love COD 4

[J pold]

My Tag: JoeDiMaggio05

[Misterpants]

Gamertag...

Dan Solo 51

[BaconGuy]

Hey guys, my tag is TheFlamesFan (Cant believe that wasnt taken on this board)

Here are the games i have currently, add me if you want to play online

GH2
GH3
COD4
Forza 2

[Gravitykillr]

Did anyone else notice a credit on their credit card bill? I had a credit from Microsoft for 31cents, I realize it's just 31 cents but still it's better than getting charged another 31 cents.

[FlamesKickAss]

Topshelf9 here

[Swayze11]

bump: updated the gamertag list... SO GET ADDING!!! hah

[RW99]

RW99 is Lags In Banff

CoD4 with a bit of TF2 and NHL08 mixed in.

[Drunk Skunk]

I picked up a 360 yesterday ... at this point I only have Halo 3 and Need For Speed Carbon. My Live ID is skinlikewinter

[WhiteTom]

Live ID is ComatoseMonk.
I play CoD4 mainly.
I have Gears of War, Halo 3, Burnout: Paradise and other stuff.

[BlAcKNoVa]

Gamertag = NovataK

I haven't played my 360 a lot lately but when I do it's usually CoD4. Now that the new maps for it are out I'll probably be on a bit more.

[redmile04]

I am in.. navib69.. going to sign up tonight

[PIMking]

Im PIMking

I play nhl08 mostly madden 08 and Forza 2

[Flame On]

N H Solo
I had my first experience with it this weekend on COD4. Got slaughtered but loved every minute of it.

[Drunk Skunk]

Holy crap ... I picked up COD4 tonight and love it. Can't wait to take a peek at the new maps tomorrow.

[Flame On]

Holy crap ... I picked up COD4 tonight and love it. Can't wait to take a peek at the new maps tomorrow.
I just started in it too. Man am I getting slaughtered in live! You to DS?

[Drunk Skunk]

I'm doing okay, my kill to death ratio is right around 0.90, but there are some people on there that are damned good!

[Swayze11]

Ive heard CoD is just amazing, how does it compare to Halo 3?

[GoinAllTheWay]

Topshelf9 here

Ah!! That's you is it? I was wondering how you got on my list and who you were :)

Bit of a derailment here but I have the latest Halo for the 360 and I'm just not getting into it, anyone wanna trade it for Assasins Creed or other such title?

[Drunk Skunk]

Ive heard CoD is just amazing, how does it compare to Halo 3?
I haven't touched Halo 3 since getting CoD, and don't see myself playing it again any time soon. I think CoD blows Halo 3 out of the water, and I consider Halo 3 to be a great game.

[Flame On]

I'm doing okay, my kill to death ratio is right around 0.90, but there are some people on there that are damned good!
I'll have to look to see what mine is. I'm just trying to improve in rank to get the better guns which seems to be going ok. I figure my K/D ratio will then improve.

[phaneuf_train]

The best guns in Call of Duty you already have which is the M16, and the MP5. I guess the P90 could be one of the best too but you unlock it at like level 39 or something. My k/d ratio is 1.82

[Lchoy]

New Maps out for COD4, so been playing that more now. Never really was a fan of Halo mulitplayer, but I think it's due to that I never played Halo until 3 came out.
Call of Duty is definitely fun though on multiplayer

I just unlocked the P90, I like it a lot. I've bumped by k/d ratio up to 1.03.

2nd.

M16 is my favorite gun as well (once you get the red dot). Been trying to upgrade all my weapons, so that's been hampering my ratio lately.

Does the red dot in Multiplayer snap on to a target when near, like it does in the single player version?

[Flaming Choy]

i don't think so, but i don't really remember. I just like the red dot since it doesn't hinder your view as much.

[HockeyPuck]

S0ME80DY is my tag

[Human Torch]

Just picked up NHL08 for cheap...my tag is stmerc, same as PSN.
