Not sure. Usually about 1,000 or so on around the globe when i go on. Not sure about live though. I suspect Live has more because not too long ago Bungie announced their 7,777,777th H2 game played or some crap like that. Xlink in my opinion gives you more freedom. I hate random matches that often repeat in a single sitting of LIVE. And at least people on Xlink that mod, use mod rooms for it. I think the folks on Xlink and XBC are more considerate. But thats just my opinion I could be wrong!
idk but i like xbconnect way better than xbox live because in xbconnect you get to play more than one game with different people instead of just one game than everybody leaves
Xlin Kai has partial support built right into XBMC, so if that's your interface, it can be much more convenient. But from experience, XBC seems to have more users. If you're looking for the biggest userbase, there's always XBL... lol. They're friendly to modding, right?
I use KAI, there are alot users there, i like it alot better than xbc, Live will have the majority of peepz, not alot know about KAI and xbc, but i find KAI is easy to use and also the fact its built into XBMC
Civicguy, you may be newbie status, but I've got to say that most of your posts are right on, I think you'll fit in nicely here.
