[QUOTE="ParadiddleFill"][QUOTE="AdrianWerner"]

P2P-false live doesnt work in a p2p network structure

lag- either your connection or the hosts connection

petite maps- ?

petite max players limits- 32 max players in pdz

no mods

limited options

laughable selection of downloadable games

Dur_Rocky

Laughable game selection?:roll: Live arecade is freaking awsome

It is? Then why are almost half the games based off flash games/freeware?

Yeah and it's free... not like gold.

I could buy Stalker retail and play online just like I could go on Steam,buy it,and play online. Steam isn't the reason your games are online.

O.K. ?

In order play a xbox 360 online, you need the game plus the gold account... nothing free here.

For the PC you just need the game, steam is a nice free add-on.

If you say so...I'll give you that one even though Steam has nothing to do with the ability to play your games online

What about content?Live has movies,tv shows,music videos,soon to be Netflix,arcade.

Netflix runs through your PC, and has for over a year if I remember... Music videos? Uh, haven't you ever heard of YouTube? Arcade? Um, there's a lot more FREE games than on XBLA...where do you think most of these game ideas came from? Flash games from places like Newground.

And the pc has had that for ages, PC has had digital distribution for over a decade...

Your argument fails now, where do you think xbox live came with these features, by themselves?No, everything is a rip off for the pc, conveniently brought to their console and people are charged for the convinience....

PC has everything xbox live has and more and you don't have to pay to access them...

I can't believe how much of a sad blind lemming you are, even lemmings would've stopped at this point, but now you're just pitifully trying to defend your 50 dollar a year investment...

Give it up, pc had everything xbox live has for over a decade and more, for free....just give it up and admit ownage..

Well as for me... I barely use steam or any program... So I won't be the one to tell you. Like I said, Steam is an add on... and it just gets better with time.

As for movies and others... what do you think the internet is for? pRon?!?!

Well actually we was comparing Steam to Live. :) Had you look a page or 2 back then you would've known. You also would have know I said that it's no argument that online PC gaming is better than Live. I did say though that there is no 1 program that is as unified and robust as Live.

there's a reason for that, and that's because there isn't a "first party" developer for the PC because it's not made by a single company. The reason it is for XBL is because Microsoft can do whatever they want, and they can control it all very easily with the achievements and XBL store and all that. In PC you have many different ways to get things and it'd be impossible for one developer or company to unify as well as XBL has because XBL is the only thing you can have on your 360, whereas on the PC you have so many different options and ways to get access you can't compare them. Well, you can, but PC>XBL.

These things are EXTREMELY esoteric and extremely obvious. Not only are they hard to use, but they are very easy to counter as well. Not to mention that PB and VAC constantly updates, so any cracks they may find one day won't work in like one or two. Not to mention that if you use a crack in VAC your entire steam account will be banned within the week. Not to mention I haven't ugpraded my PC's security, nor do I use a firewall/anti-virus software in over two years. I'm perfectly fine.

Yet you have the freedom of choice to decide what to use on PC. Just because it's unified doesn't make it better. You're forced to use MS points, pay for DLC, and then you have all the XBLA games that are free on PC because that's where they originated. Unified isn't a valid point when it costs $$$ when I get it for free on PC, and BETTER.

Well, the phrase "Keep It Simple, Stupid" springs to mind. Plus, you're talking about people who may not have the gumption to figure out even today's Windows PC. Simple enough as it is, they still find it too difficult.

That is completely wrong. VAC constantly updates, is extremely reliable, and the second that person uses a crack he runs a huge risk of having his account banned in under a week. I know this stuff because I'm part of communities that know about this stuff.

Yes I do. Hash checking can be beaten with a hash collision hack. Aimbots can be made simulate actual motions and only really lock on when you're reasonably close to a person. And what about wallhacks since they don't put signatures on textures?

Yet you have the freedom of choice to decide what to use on PC. Just because it's unified doesn't make it better. You're forced to use MS points, pay for DLC, and then you have all the XBLA games that are free on PC because that's where they originated. Unified isn't a valid point when it costs $$$ when I get it for free on PC, and BETTER.

Let's stay on point and point is theres really no program that has as many features as Live.It is a valid point because no one has yet to void it.

Can you provide some statistics on most XBLA games being originated on PC?Not saying your wrong,but i'm not really into flash games.

Online PC gaming>Live
Live>Steam - Live offers way more content than Steam does. As far as my knowledge there is no 1 unified gaming prog as robust as Live.

killab2oo5

Steam is free...

o.O You get everything Steam offers on Live Silver for free.

Minus the whole "playing games" aspect. >_>

Eh,but you playing online isn't thanks to Steam. It's thanks to the developers for providing servers and online compatibility.

Developers don't provide servers for their games and when they do(eg- WoW) you pay monthly.

Yes I do. Hash checking can be beaten with a hash collision hack. Aimbots can be made simulate actual motions and only really lock on when you're reasonably close to a person. And what about wallhacks since they don't put signatures on textures?HuusAsking
Is that why the vast majority of hacking communities died atleast a year ago? Most of the large ones providing these so called "Vac proof" hacks had their last updates over a year ago. VAC and PB constantly update and raise the bar and change their methods of detection. Its an impossible game of cat and mouse, with Valve having the upper hand. The second that they stealth patch VAC the second a new round of people get perma-banned.

[QUOTE="HuusAsking"]VAC-proof means they can't be detected. You never see hackers because the hackers can't be differentiated from actual players.Vandalvideo
That is completely wrong. VAC constantly updates, is extremely reliable, and the second that person uses a crack he runs a huge risk of having his account banned in under a week. I know this stuff because I'm part of communities that know about this stuff.

So how do you detect a cheat that can achieve a hash collision--a hash that is identical to the legitimate product?

[QUOTE="gasmaskman"][QUOTE="killab2oo5"][QUOTE="gasmaskman"]

there's a reason for that, and that's because there isn't a "first party" developer for the PC because it's not made by a single company. The reason it is for XBL is because Microsoft can do whatever they want, and they can control it all very easily with the achievements and XBL store and all that. In PC you have many different ways to get things and it'd be impossible for one developer or company to unify as well as XBL has because XBL is the only thing you can have on your 360, whereas on the PC you have so many different options and ways to get access you can't compare them. Well, you can, but PC>XBL.

HuusAsking

I still have a valid point that there is no one program that's has all the features Live has though.

Yet you have the freedom of choice to decide what to use on PC. Just because it's unified doesn't make it better.

Well, the phrase "Keep It Simple, Stupid" springs to mind. Plus, you're talking about people who may not have the gumption to figure out even today's Windows PC. Simple enough as it is, they still find it too difficult.

LOL, that was the weak sauce... If windows is complicated then xbox live is what?

If I remember correct Windows Live doesn't have a marketplace. Correct me if i'm wrong,and everyone I've ever asked about it says it horrible compared to Live on 360 due to the crappy interface and it's pretty featureless.

I've been in their circles for quite a significant time. Heck I was accepted into PW over a year ago. Most of these circles are quickly dieing as they can't keep up with Valve constantly upgrading and changing their methods of detection. The stakes are too high.

Were debating Steam vs Live.

Free vs not free... hmmm ok.

...This again?I can do everything with Live as I can with Steam but play games online which Steam has absolutely no involvement in.

STEAM is a free add on!!!!!! But microsoft forced Xbox live crap down your throat and you seem to like it... yeah keep paying for service that are free on PC.

:) I love Live mostly thanks to my friends that also have it. I'll say it again...I can do everything on Live Silver that I can on Steam,and Live has much more to offer.

Live doesnt have mod support, Live doesnt have dedicaded server support, Live doesnt let you download full games like Steam does, live charges you for every possible piece of DLC...steam doesnt.

I guess it works while you're sleeping but while your awake it isn't worth jack FFXIII360
Whatever you linked to was posted over a month ago. Punkbuster is constantly updated, and even if you have a hack its probably going to be obsolete in under two weeks. As a matter of fact, it explicitly states it doesnt work with 1.7.

This is one of the easiest problems to overcome, you simply find good servers with admins and they are plentiful. Again, call me when console online gets universal mod support and dedicated servers.

Xbox live >>> Pc online...

This was the title of the thread.

Seems you like to only limit yourself to one free PC program... I wonder why.

I'll just point out, can you download orange box from xbox live?
