Neowin Xbox Live Matches

Ok so here is the plan..When a new game comes out for the 360 in particular there is often discussion about hooking up with members from Neowin on Xbox Live. Sometimes this works out and other times it does not.

The purpose of this thread will be to offer gamers a one stop place where they can discuss and make plans to play on Xbox Live with one another, be it multiplayer, co-op or even leagues and tournaments, depending on how far we can take things.

So if this thread gets enough attention and works, who knows where it can go from here.

First of if you haven't already done so, share your gamertag with other members either directly in this topic or the Member Index which is pinned to the top of the subforum. To make this work it'll be best to play with others who live in similar time zones, so please include that in your response. State which game you want to play and match type (co-op, multiplayer etc) and enjoy the match!

So:

Gamertag:

Game:

Match Type:

Time Zone:

Along with anything else you want to add.

The only way this topic is going to work is if people play together and they keep their word they will meet for a match. Obviously this won't always be the case because we all have our lives to get on with but I think it'll really bring the Neowin community together more. Really what we want to achieve is the team work and fun from the Halo 3 Beta (if anyone joined in those matches you'll know what I'm talking about).

This thread can be used for setting up matches such as playing co-op on Gears of War for example. When you are looking for someone to play through the game with, but don't want to put up with kiddies on Xbox Live. If you are new to Xbox Live as well this will be a great way for you to get involved and meet some new people. Obviously it does not matter if you have completed the game before but just fancy playing a few chapters etc.

Also, hopefully, we will be able to set up some big matches where Neowin members can work as a team. Not everyone is going to have the same games as one another, but even 5 or so people would be awesome.

And for games such as Madden, NBA etc hopefully with a bit of organisation we can set up some sort of league/tournaments.

Have fun!

Sorry, had to leave that horrible server! Even though the ping showed green, there was a horrible weapon delay.

Then the Host Advantage really shows :no:

But you were really good man! Did you have any relations to the guy "Munky5" who joined, Elite Rank :ninja:

It's ok I only stayed for one more round anyways. Teams were very unbalanced and as you said the host advantage was crap.

Nah I was wondering if that Munky5 guy was going to mention that :laugh: I'm still learning, there is some damn good shooters on this game :|

    • Nearly 70% of Steam users now run Windows 11

      By TarasBuria · Posted

      Nearly 70% of Steam users now run Windows 11 by Taras Buria The May 2026 Steam Hardware & Software Survey results are now available on the official Steam website, showing Windows 11's continuous growth among the gaming audience. As of early June 2026, nearly 70% of all participants reported having a Windows 11-powered PC, while Windows 10's market share is steadily declining. According to Valve, in May 2026, Windows 11 increased its market share to 69.76% (+2.02 points), while Windows 10 dropped to 23.99% (-1.64 points). 64-bit Windows 7 is still showing up in Valve's reports, and apparently, about 0.07% of all survey participants still use the 17-year-old operating system. Valve no longer updates its client for Windows 7, but it still can access the platform, so the Windows 7 holdouts can stay away from newer Windows versions. Overall, 93.85% of all users run Windows (+0.38 points), while Linux is second with 3.99% (-0.53 points). macOS is third with at 2.16% (+0.15 points). The most popular Linux flavor is Arch Linux (0.35%), while macOS 26.4.1 is currently the dominant macOS release. On the hardware side, the most popular picks include an Intel processor (53.94% against AMD's 46.06%) with six cores (28.02%, -0.6 points), 16 GB of memory (41.14%, -0.28 points), and an NVIDIA graphics card (72.42%, with AMD having 19.13% and Intel 8.05%). The most popular graphics card on Steam is the desktop NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 (3.85%, -0.14 points), while the laptop RTX 4060 is second with 3.77%, and the RTX 3050 is third with 3.10%. The average amount of VRAM is 8GB (25.89%), and the dominant display resolution is the classic 1920x1080 pixels (51.89%, -0.32 points). As usual, you can find more details from the latest survey on the official website. The results for April 2026 are available here.
    • Microsoft is making Windows 11's context menus faster, simpler, and configurable

      This would be the ideal scenario for the context menus
    • Amazon eero Pro 6E mesh Wi-Fi system 2-pack is 27% off

      By cork1958 · Posted

      Personally, I think these things are way over rated and way over priced, even at this price. I recently had Frontier Fiber installed with 2 of these devices and although they worked, I switched back to my own router and AP setup and get way better consistency on wireless speed than with Eeros. Wired speed seems to be more consistent also. Will be returning Eeros soon. I had told Frontier I didn't want them to begin with.

      Yes, exactly what I have been thinking. Don't make the context menu simpler, make it smarter to learn what I actually use. And then, give me the ability to pin settings that I rarely use but need forget where they are.
