My friend and I, the MAF to my Drinky, have been playing XBL for years now. I mean we played Phantom Dust religiously last year; BFFs, total. He used to live in San Diego, then he moved to North Carolina. He originally had a Cable connection - which is what I have - and though he was a little laggier than usual sometimes it was mostly all good.
But then he moved and got DSL, and now I can only connect to certain XBL games with him - and Phantom Dust is not one of them. :'( :'(
I can connect with like MechAssault, Crimson Skies, Midtown Madness 3, Tetris Worlds... I think that's it? Oh and PGR2. And Wolfenstein, but he doesn't like that because his team kept killing him and calling him a fagunrt.
No connect on Spikeout, Phantom Dust, Blitz, Project Snowbound, Outlaw Golf 2, or DOA Online.
I just don't get it - why would some titles work fine, and others don't? Yes, I see the MS pattern in the ones that work but PD was a MS game in Japan and Tetris Worlds is THQ of all fucking people. Sega, well their shit never works so Spikeout doesn't surprise me.
Anyone have any suggestions? If I was to get DSL on my end, would we be able to connect?
