Re: 1 vs 100
said by JSY  :I tried this for the first time this weekend and I also thought it was enjoyable. I do wonder if there would be a charge for this in the future. I'm not sure if I would pay to play it, though - as much as I like it. I would think with the advertising that there wouldn't be charges and that it would be included in the XBOX Live Gold fee. Regarding the questions being American slanted - I think at one point of loading, it said something to the effect of "loading American edition" - which makes me think that there may be other editions out there that are region specific? Why would they charge? XBL is already $50 a year. |

I'm not really a gamer, but I have tried it and rather enjoyed it, so I've played a couple of times. I must say however that the questions have had a definite American slant to them, but I guess for now at least that is to be expected given its likely Americans make up the largest percentage of players or people submitting questions, but I still enjoy it.

Yeah, 1v100 is a lot more fun than what I would have thought. I think there will be a small fee to play it later, but maybe not because they do have commercials in it.
I am sure they'll start having a lot more games like this, on a typical night they have 50-100K people playing.

I have been seeing this game advertised a lot, but have resisted trying it. I had a friend who just started playing, so I played tonight from 8:00-10:00pm. At 10:00 it tried to download something for the next game and kept failing so I gave up. It's pretty fun for a free game, but I just wonder if it will stay a free game once it's out of beta. The game is definitely more fun to play with a couple people in your party, it's just more entertaining to compete against friends than strangers. I will say this is the first time since I bought my Xbox that my wife actually took interest in a game I was playing. |

said by ptrowski :Do you think forwarding the ports is better than putting the Xbox in the DMZ? I'm more comfortable with forwarding only the ports that are required. Granted, it's better to forward specific ports on a PC, but I don't think it'll make a difference on a Xbox. I do it more out of habit than anything else. |

Forward your ports. XBL uses ports 88 and 3074. Make sure your Xbox 360 is set on a static IP (via the router) and open ports 88 (UDP) and 3074 (UDP/TCP). How you do this varies with the brand of router you are using.
This should resolve XBL chat issues and improve your connection to other players. |

| Just curious how many of you play 1 vs 100 on the Xbox? I'm playing now (in between a break), pretty fun game.
And on a side note, when I started the game, a message popped up saying my NAT router settings were so high that some features of 1 vs 100 wouldn't work properly.
Turns out some of the live audio doesn't come through. Anyone see this message and know what to to fix it?
