I should have my copy in the mail by Wednesday.

Do you not have Live? I only bought this game to do firefight, if you want to play let me know.

i am pretty sure some games had the update preloaded on them. i don't have live either but when i put in some random new game in it updated on it's own. i'm sure there are ways around it.

apparently you can use your macbook as the router and hook it up to your xbox and use that. you'd only have to buy the subscription and not the $200+ in peripherals. take a look into that.

No Xbox live as of today. We'll see how I like the campaign and if I become addicted enough. Dont really have much free time. Will let you know.

Using Macbook to connect xbox 360 to Live - Macworld Forums

Apple's software routing ( Internet Sharing ) has some limitations like no uPnP, ... which will never allow you to have an "Open" NAT status for XBL when going through a Mac. Most of the time it will be "Moderate" but on some occasions it may drop to "Strict." Some stand alone routers can be that bad. For most gameplay it won't be any kind of a problem.
With all that said, I have my XBOX 360 going through my MacBook because I don't feel it is at all reasonable to pay $60+ for a Wi-Fi USB adapter.
There is one more limitation and I don't know why but it does make the setup a little more tedious than just connecting the two. The XBOX 360 won't dynamically take an IP from a Mac using Internet Sharing, so, it must be static ( manual ).
Any IP ranges using the 10.0.x.x or 192.168.x.x ranges will work. It's best if you don't use the same IP range as your router. If your router has an IP of 192.168.1.1 use a 10.0.x.x range and vice versa. I'll use the 10.0.0.x range for example...
Mac OS X
1) System Preferences-->Network-->Built-in Ethernet-->TCP/IP
2) Set Configure IPv4: to Manually
- Set IP Address: to 10.0.0.1
- Set Subnet Mask: to 255.255.255.0
3) System Preferences-->Sharing-->Internet
4) Set Share your connection from: to Airport
- Set To computers using: to Built-in Ethernet
- Click Start and than Start
XBOX 360
1) While in the Dashboard, navigate to the System blade
2) Network Settings-->Edit Settings-->IP Settings-->Manual
3) Set IP Address to 10.0.0.2 ( The first three segments i.e. 10.0.0 will need to match what you set in step #2 of the Mac OS X section )
- Set Subnet Mask to 255.255.255.0
- Set Gateway to 10.0.0.1 ( What you set in step #2 under the Mac OS X section )
- Click Done
4) Go to DNS Settings
NOTE: I set the primary to my router and the secondary to my ISP's primary. You can find your router's IP by going to your MacBook and to System Preferences-->Network-->Airport-->TCP/IP
NOTE: You can usually find your ISP's DNS servers in your routers status page, see the manual that came with your router for more information
Check out a video version at http://web.mac.com/ctschida/ The video is using my cellular phone and so the quality is a bit low. /forums/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smirk.gif I may decide to improve the quality later on by using the video mode of a digital camera or something but we'll see. For now, this is plenty fine.
