Why isn't anyone ever on? I bought the game and I play solo every day, why isn't ANYONE playing Live? I paid my $10, but nobody else bought it?

If you play TT on Xbox post your Live name here and what time & timezone you play at!

Other than that I love it. Sooo fun playing TS on Cranium with my 27" TV. New tanks are awsome. I'll get pics up soon.

I want to see the highscore list. I heard there is one, am I right? Oh yeah, post lots of pictures they are nice to check out.

Yes, There IS a high-score list for QuickPlay and Solo.

I'll be online almost all day today so feel free to add me to your friends list.

Don't leave the real ThinkTanks =)

Ya, most people are staying. If it was on computer, I would buy it right away

I'm staying on TT one. I think I only have a couple more TT years ahead of me. Who knows...Not payin' for something I'm not going to play.

Pics are up!

Aah, I must have understood wrong. I thought there were online highscore rankings similar to the Orbz. I noticed two things from the tank stats: The heavy skull tank's speed seems slower than original heavy tank's, is that right? The locked UFO's speed seems going faster than light skull tank's, is it laying same way as ptt tank stats? Not expecting answer for the last one as it looks like it's still locked. ;) Are the new skull tanks stats different then the old tank ones or are their looks only new? What do you think of the new improved shooting system and what about radar, it looks more stylized.

I'm gonna get a new pic of the med in a bit.

The Xbox original light, Med, and Heavy tanks have the same stats as the new Skull tanks. The UFO DOES go faster by a tiny bit. I tried it in Solo Mode when you collect the brains.

The AutoAimer is certainly unique and very easy to aim with, if you liked Halo's controls, you'll love this. The radar is new and works REALLY well. It's like a 2x radar on 800x600.

I REALLY want people to buy this so I can play some people!

Woot racer! Nice pics. :)

The unlockable UFO has different stats than the one used to collect brains. It's way faster and but slower to turn and super weak. Which makes it hard to use, but hilarious in multiplayer scrum. If you do it right, you can zip out of nowhere and steal the flag and then be gone. But you have to be fast because just a couple shots and you are dead. :)

Unfortunately, the new settings it made it too hard to collect the brains, so we used the old one (+ a hair more speed) for brain collecting.

There are 3 leaderboards for player ranking. One for Solo, one for online multiplayer Scrum, and one for online multiplayer Battlemode. You have to be playing against a person (beating up bots doesn't count) to get a rank on the multiplayer leaderboards.

^ Cool about the UFO.

New Med pic up.

So what's the deal with the XBOX TT? Is it multiplayer? Do they have their own servers just for xbox? Is there any lag?

Last edited: Wednesday, July 27, 2005 at 3:02:51 PM

It's Live Multiplayer. You have to create your own game and have people join yours OR you can join someone else's. No lag at all.

Whole new consept for this TT, its like, kinda rugged.
But maybe its just the pixels on your tv.
I not realy into to xbox console, so I'm gonna stay on TT and maybe someday there will be a tt2 for computers

Nice pics Racer!
Seems cool, I dont have Xbox so I can't play it...

@56k
Care giving me the master adress for it so I can "request" some files from the server ;)
(just kidding)

I dont have xbox live so I can't play with u all :[ :'(

Hey 56k, you ever play this on Xbox live? Maybe we can play eachother some day... :P

What does the multiplayer leaderboards look like? They sounds interesting, hehe. ;)

Hey R

I have an Xbox collecting dust, dont really have time to figure out

How to connect it with my computer. If you can think of a simple way

With out costing much ill play TT on Xbox with ya.

You mean how to connect to Live?

You can't play Xbox on your pc's montior if that is what you are asking. Go buy a cheap 20" TV.

Your Live microphone package may have the Arcade disk in it so check after you buy it.

If you want to play Live, you will need a Microphone & 12 month subscription card package that you can get for $50 at any EB games or GameStop. And, if you don't already have one, you will need to buy an Ethernet cable, NOT a crossover cable that you can get for under $15. And I'm assuming you already have a Router that your computer connects to the internet through. Connect the Ethernet cable to the Xbox, and connect the other end into your router. Boot up your Xbox into the Dashboard. Go into Xbox Live, and set up an account. Have your credit card handy, as it will be used to buy TT.

Order an Xbox Live Arcade disk from Micro$oft Here for free with $5 shipping if your microphone and stuff doesn't come with one already.

Once you have your Live account set up, and get your disk, insert the disk.

Press Y and sign into Xbox Live. Wait for everything to load.

Go into Action and Arcade. Find TT.

Press A or X I think to buy it and it will charge it to your credit card.

Wait for TT to download.

Press A to play!

WRONG! Xbox is the best you CAN play it on a monitor from your comp!!! You just need to buy some special cable that will let it work. Use that huge monitor you got in your office. I haven't tried it but I'm 110% sure! I know it works!

You might get lucky and when buying Xbox Live acade and get 6 month subscription free (I did :) ) You don't need a microphone, but it's nice to talk with others of course. Heres some of my pics: Think Tanks For Xbox Pictures

@Racer I don't have the full version yet, it's not as fun as TT on comp sorry. But if you do see me my screen name is: x2fast4u

I know you can, it's just expensive to buy the TV tuner to do it.

BTW Bomber do you play Project Gotham Racing 2 or Forza Motorsport?

Last edited: Tuesday, August 02, 2005 at 9:20:24 AM

Thanks R & B,

It may take me a while to collect all the stuff
needed but I'll be on soon...

Btw I was asking how to play on my PC monitor,
so I can keep my computer and xbox all in one area.

If you have a video card like the ATI All-In-Wonder 9700/9800 pro you can play your X-Box on you monitor, but I'm not sure how. Or you could buy a TV tuner for your PC that allows composite or S-Video in, but it is best to play it on a tv.

My Xbox live games are:
Project Gotham Racing 2
Crimson Skies <--- best game ever (comes with Xbox Live Starter Kit)
Star Wars Republic Commando
Midtown Madness 3
Burnout 3 Takedown <--- best racing game ever
Dance Dance Revolution Ultra Mix 2 <--- yay baby

I live the the Pacific time zone and play in mornings and early at night. Just got a PSP so I don't play as much, but if you tell me when and what game I'll come for a few hours.

I play PGR2 alot! I'll be out all day Wendsday so how's noon your time on thursday sound?

I don't have an xbox at home, so I can only play it when I'm at work. If I load it up and see you guys playing I'll definitely drop in. :)

BUMP!

Euro players can now get TT on their Xbox! See full story Here!

I think I might buy it I have XboX

I'm 14th in the Arcade High-Score list! I unlocked the UFO too. It still takes 500,000 to do so.

Another bump!

Cmon people buy it!

A pity they don't update the Desktop ThinkTanks so we can game with the XBoxers. Splitting the community will kill this game. Gotta keep it cross-platform!

- Bomb…James Bomb

^Your right, we should cross platform this thing! If we have 2 communities, it will all crash.

Cross platform play between Desktop and XBox users is not something Microsoft would allow at this time. But I agree that it's something that seems like it would be worth reconsidering.

Next year the Microsoft Windows Vista(new OS) and Xbox360(ultracool replacement for old Xbox) r comin. Xbox360 has USB ports, so u can just connect it up to ur comp and even load files onto and from ur Xbox. Im sure crossplatforming will come alive then, since the PSP and PS3 can do it, MS wont want a foot behind. But watever u do, dont split the already shrinking community! I aint buyin TT or any Xbox game till Xbox360 is out. How come somethin keeps blocking the top of the screen in ur video?

Hey, there is a lock-on thing in TT Xbox! In the end of ur Hypo hills video, the reticle just locks that bot till a 6xQuickShot of Speedy fire kills it! If that came to comp TT, things would be eeeeezzzzzzyyy! XD B)

Bomber and me had some fun playing BM and Scrum over Live! Come join us!

BUMP

Hey thanks for the help earlier R.

I just ordered a router from netgear

And should be here soon...

It would be kool to take the skull light

Fo a test drive.

Peace

Is Skull tank better than normal in performance?

Skulls are the same as regular but are wider and better looking.

Vashy, just make sure you didn't order a gigabit router.

I dont think it is a gigabit router.

I bought a cable/dsl router.

I guess that would be it since I

Have dsl and wish to someday get

Cable. How can I tell if it is a gigabit

Router?

Peace

If you have a link I will tell you.

Normally cable/dsl routers aren't gigabit.

PS: I bought Orbz for Xbox too.

I'd buy it, sept I don't own an Xbox :[

Anyways, it kinda looks like the tank's aim auto locks, is that correct? I prefare the aim skill either way :P

Yes it does lock on. However aiming without it sucks.

Lol, I could imagine, I have trouble aiming in Halo at times :P

Im gonna try get Xbox 360 late next year wen I can. ;) TT isnt even on the game list on the Xbox site. Anyone know y? :(
