How is the multi player going on xbox?

[SURE SHOTZ 247]

I was wondering what the situation is on xbl with regards to the mp,i have bop on ps3 and while im enjoying it im having trouble getting games going.
I realise this perhaps isnt the most popular genre of game and that probably has a lot to do with it, and while there does seem to be a lot of arcade action i cant seem to bring myself to even think about joining them.
So i am now thinking of swoping my ps3 copy for an xbox version unless its going to be the same and thus futile!:confused:

Still quiet. The best times are 6 pm to +/- 12 pm (GMT+1). There's usually enough people online then to play Realistic or Sim. Don't know if it's better/worse than PS3 though.

Last saturday afternoon (GMT) had the busiest Realistic and Sim games that I've seen.

That sounds pretty much the same as PS3 from my experience...

Where is America on this game? The online dies after midnight GMT but that should be prime game time across the states. Maybe you're all pissed at the treatment the P51 got? lol

OP, have you tried making games? I tend to choose non-arcade games over arcade ones given the choice, and if I make a sim game there are a few people who will join. Eventually.

The only way to get a decent amount of people into a sim game is with organisation. If you do get into a sim game, invite all the sim players from your friends list, and ask everyone in the room to do the same... as long as the host is prepared to wait for a few extra mins then you should be able to get a decent amount in. The problem is that people are impatient (myself included) and start matches far too early.

Im gulity of being impatient too i suppose but i get annoyed when a few peeps join i wait for more then they leave argh!:evil:

It occurs to me that people who have the patience for flying on Sim mode are probably more likely to be willing to wait a few minutes for more like minded players. :)

There's nothing worse than not being able to find any other game than an arcade strike or CtA that you can virtually guarantee the host will start as a 2 on 1.

I'm waiting for the update to get deep into MP. It will be much better with all the changes.

And a competitive P-51 would'nt hurt. I don't want it to be the best in the game, but it should be able to fight with any other.

Pretty sparse on the Xbox, at least at my hours. I play 10pm to 11pm (midnight if not tired) PST (GMT -8) and its rather dead. I see a few regulars, but there are very few games going, even fewer realistic, and very rarely a sim.

I do hate the hosts that get 6 in, and continue to wait and wait and wait until folks start leaving, as I bail too after awhile. I'm not waiting 10 minutes in order to play a round thats going to last 10 minutes. I get only an hour, maybe two sometimes a night to play and I'd prefer to actually be flying something during that time, not staring at a lobby ;) I don't even mind a lopsided run anymore, just get it started! :)

Yeah with extra use of invitation, we always succed to find a 2vs2. And when things works well at 10PM GMT+1, we have usually 4vs4 games.

Wich is already enough to be a big mess.

But it's always Battle TEAM. I played just 1 game in CTA and 1 Strike both in realistic so far. (So i don"'t understand what to do in CTA lol)

Before BoP I was reluctant to accept non true friends, but now I've got many o them ;) all playing BoP sim.

Yeah people do tend to hang around for longer in a sim lobby before flashing their ready arrows a few times then leaving. Maybe it literally separates the men from the boys lol.

And what's with the new trend I'm seeing more and more of? Hosting strike or CTA games for an odd number of players (usually 5 or 7). WTF is up with that...?
