Do people only play Halo 2 on KAI? - BadBoy House - 2006-08-04
fired up kai on my pc last night - was gonna have a game of wsop or something online. I was dissappointed to see that there seemed to nobody playing anything apart from halo 2.
is that all kai is used for on xbox or do you occasionally get people playing other games?

i have had several successful public games of Painkiller: Hell Wars. its my current fav game for Kai. the best thing to do is get a friend to play against so that you have at least 2 players in your arena. if you have just you by yourself, it's much less likely that anyone will come join you.

i'll stick with xbox live on my 360 for online play. i thought more people used kai obviously not

thats not the way to make Kai more popular... my pal and i are in the process of getting like 3 other people onto Kai actually. it's a snowball effect, people will only use it if people are using it. leaving Kai doesn't help
i am SleepyP on Kai, feel free to add me to your buddy list.

I always use kai, but not for "halo 2". Just "far cry".

I like to play A LOT of diferent games in kai..and particularly im VERY,VERY ecletic... but the better way find who likes and its similar with that game that u want to play and combine a day to do it!!!

I have to admit, i've only ever tried halo2 on kai
Used to have good family games with up to 8 people in a private arena, but that's difficult to organise regularly. Now I just jump into games on the public arenas.
I should really try other games, but I don't play often enough to be bored of halo2 yet.

kai is growing i for once play a lot of farcry. i trying to get other people to use kai. get a friend and a game you like start playing both and you see people will join. the problem with kai is that people dont see any room available for the game they go on to other (like Halo 2). Farcry is growing a lot in kai because people see some rooms a they start to play and creating more rooms. its obvious that kai is still growing thats why everyone needs to help i have made a thread about a possible tournament why dont you go there a check it out.

Besides from the fact that I think Halo & Halo 2 suck (and frankly, so do all FPS on a console with handcontroller instead of keyboard+mouse), I've got to agree with the original poster.
Every time I've fired up KAI I've seen 200+ people playing Halo2, 20 people playing Far Cry, 20 people playing Call of duty 3, 5 people playing Forza Motorsport, and THAT'S IT!
There's a whole bunch of games, but noone playing them. Only solution I guess is probably to get a couple of friends together and play against them, but in that case i prefer my PC and online gaming.
Why are people so one track minded, why can't they play anything else but Halo2?

Because Halo 1&2 are good games? I still play Half Life 1&2 on my PC and Xbox
- wreezig - 2007-01-11
No, they suck! :p
But besides, a bit variation doesn't hurt, does it? ALL don't have to play 1 game ALL the time.

Hmmm.. yeah the gane that was said to be worth buying an Xbox for... bound to suck eh!...
why not be the starter of a driving game craze then!

its pretty simple...a lot of people play halo 2 on kai due to the fact its one of the better designed games for system link play. I have played pretty much every game that is system link capable & halo 2 is simply one of the best.

Just sad that it sucks to play FPS with a handcontroller.

The kbd+mouse vs. controller thing doesn't really matter. If you really must use a kbd+mouse, you can always buy one of these http://www.divineo.com/cgi-bin/div-us/zz-xb-xfps
and play Halo2 or any other FPS with any PS2 kbd+mouse combo.
Besides many people prefer the ability to sit on the couch and play an FPS game on the big screen with a real surround system.
The real issue is keeping Kai alive as a viable alternative to Xbox Live. Anyone that uses XBMC and still likes to game occasionally would be hard pressed to find a better setup than the built-in Kai integration.
I play Kai almost every night. It's true I really only play COD3 anymore, but I like playing Painkiller, Urban Chaos, Halo2 and many other FPS games.
I suppose that sooner or later I will have to switch over to a 360 and begin paying MS for Live service, but when there are only 3 or 4 people left on Kai, I'll probably be one of them.
