Of late I have been playing a fair amount of Halo2 on my Xbox with the guys from my [[wp:Dojo]]… and it has been a blast. This is exactly what Xbox Live was for – letting people in different places play as if they were in the same location. The voice headsets make it easy to work together and overall it is a blast.
Sadly, there is a problem at the moment with cheating, but it isn’t bad enough to ruin the fun. The beauty of consoles and particularly the Xbox is that you don;t get the sort of rampant hacking seen in PC online games or even on Playstation online games. The shared login system of Xbox Live means the penalties for being caught are much more severe.
