I'm at home and can give it a shot if you like. You're probably better off hosting mind

Maybe it's becuase i haven't played it much online, but whats the big deal?? can you not normally have 30 minute games or something??

You can't create your own games in this, its all random matches. Thats why this is great, until they release a patch.

OK so it works and it's good but I had somehow got it into my head that you could kick off team deathmatch/search&destroy etc with user defined limits - unfortunately it appears to be deathmatch only and it's INSANE with 12 people at once !!!

The description on the xbox forum is a bit screwed up so here it is in plain English.

Player A (Who will be the host) fires up CoD2, goes to system link then create game and picks a map and sets time limit (always seems to be 30 minutes though ??) - then waits at that screen (with start game option).

Player B will be running a game which allows him/her to send an invite to player A (preferably an xbox live arcade game which means that CoD2 can still be in the disc drive)

They do this and player A accepts this invite but then declines the next option which states they must quit their current game to play with mate.

At this point player A is now hosting an xbox live game - player A sends B an invite and B is in the game.

Anyone else wanting to play is simply watching Player A on their friends list until they see the "join session in progress option" appear at which point they can join the lobby also !!

Hope that makes a bit more sense !!!

Will be on for a wee bit tonight but gonna have a drink so you may all have a chance

Fookin double post ft:



Looks like you can pick the game type after all - Same screen in system link menu, pick map & gametype but DO NOT change any of the modifier options and it should retain the gametype/map for you - If you change the modifiers it seems you'll get one of DM/TDM/CTF - I only got DM's yesterday (3/4 shots - 30 minutes a pop FFS )
