vinitwins Posted September 27, 2007 Report Share Posted September 27, 2007 Oh blasted Indian Internet!!! So Vinit if i upgrade my internet speed upto 600Kbps....will it increase the Live performance?? there are a number of factors to consider: 1. bandwidth that a game requires - so if a large team battle actually requires a faster connection, then yes upgrading to a 512kbps will have a positive effect on gameplay - currently only the forge and replay games require a faster connection than 256kbps 2. ping rate/latency - this is THE problem area for action games (basically the time a packet takes to make a roundtrip). so if you're playing against someone with a better ping rate (to the host) than you, expect to become cannon fodder (if your skills are equal). The only solution is to make sure that the host has a decent connection and all/most players connected to the host have decent ping rates (green bar) 3. NAT strictness - this doesnt affect the gameplay, but WILL affect matchmaking ie. who can connect to your hosted game, whether you can communicate with the other person on voice, etc. THE HOST IDEALLY NEEDS TO HAVE AN OPEN NAT or else expect various connection issues...

Ne0 Posted September 27, 2007 Report Share Posted September 27, 2007 I got the bsnl 256-2MB connection when it was just 256 400 MB, i was one of the earlybirds so got it in a single day ! Then upgraded it to 2MB - 2GB for Rs 500/-. I highly doubt if this will suffice for playing on xbox live as 2GB will be over in a week i blieve. so need to again change it to 256 unlimited ! The service is not so bad, its good and the speed is good most of the time ! K', US has a dream broadband service dude ! In ohio, i had aol time warner cable internet service - 4mbps unlimited for just $30 a month ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ne0 Posted September 27, 2007 Report Share Posted September 27, 2007 a quick question guys : what's forge ? i have read in a no. of reviews that its the coolest feature of the game ! is it some tool ? or some new weapon ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
K'dash Posted September 27, 2007 Author Report Share Posted September 27, 2007 Forge is an "object editor" that can be used to edit multiplayer maps. It was originally called a map editor until Bungie showed what one could do with it. In Forge, you can edit objects, spawnpoints, weapons and properties of objects on the map. And, when playing a map on forge, players may take control as a monitor and will obtain the ability to spawn weapons and vehicles in-game, as well as move/adjust them too. FORGE A multiplayer-only tool, Forge will allow players to customize multiplayer maps, changing and resetting spawn points, weapon spawns, weapon timers, vehicle spawns and timers, vehicle spawn points, and add existing geometry to the map’s existing structure in the form of crates, boxes, fusion coils, lifts, teleporters, turrets, etc. The amount of items you can drop is regulated by an economy budget system, with different items having different values and each map having an overall budget that the items you place cannot exceed. By deleting existing things off of a given map, you can actually place more things. Players can modify and create their versions of maps, save them and share them with their friends, but that’s only half or so of what Forge allows. In addition to functioning as creation-driven tool, Forge is also a playspace. Up to eight players can be on a given map at a time, shifting back and forth between their chosen multiplayer model and the Forge model – a Monitor. Players can play actual games in Forge, goof around, kill each other, play Slayer where each team designates a Monitor to supply weapons, vehicles, equipment and cover on the fly. Throughout the time you're editing you can press up on the D-Pad and change to your multiplayer model and play. Once you're done with the editing you can start a party over System Link or Xbox Live and see how it works. You can build crate towers, grab a vehicle underneath a teammate, or have a friend jump on a crate and move it throughout the map. All items spawned on forge will have a price, with weapons, crates and smaller items being cheaper than vehicles. There is a spending limit to the map which restricts total items than can be spawned. As revealed in Bungie's 8/27/07 Podcast, you can add items in Forge that aren't available in a regular match. One example is the Yellow Powerup, the alternative to the Overshield or the Active Camouflage. The Yellow Powerup is completely customizable in its effects; it can cause the interacting player to run faster, jump higher, grow an overshield/active camouflage, and even change the player's color. Effects aren't limited to one or two at a time, but rather a number of effects can occur simultaneously. The hosts described it as equivalent to an "instant juggernaut." Another object unique to Forge are teleporters. While playing as a monitor a health bar is shown at the top and its basically the same amount as a Spartan's.
