Xbox Live Compatibility Issues

[cg200313]

Ok I remember a while back ago microsoft was talking about being able to play a game on the xbox 360 against someone playing the same game on a computer over Live. Now when is this going to happen. On another note I have a copy of Battlefield 2 Modern Combat for the xbox 360.... and my friend got a copy of Battlefield 2 Modern Combat for the xbox... and it wont let us play against each other. Does this have anything to do with the fact that mines for xbox 360 and his is for xbox.... kinda makes me wonder because all it is... is a difference in graphics... right? I mean correct me if im wrong but shouldn't this work? The copy for xbox doesn't work on the 360 so why won't it allow me to do this... come on geez. Someone please help me.

I dont think you can play Xbox players on Xbox 360 unless you have the Xbox version of BF2- BF2 will probably never be pc Vs. 360 cause of the fact pc has jets and 360 doesnt have those at all. it would be kinda odd to walk around and see a jet fly over you when you cant get in one.

yeah you can't play against each other! and on the other question there is an article in my OXM magazine about the playing between the two and it mentioned something about Windows Vista so it may be Windows Vista only! and Vista won't be out till like next year maybe? but they used the example of Shadow runner?(or whatever it is) I think that is the game they used the example of!

i remember them mentioning cross-platform online gaming, but i think it was more one of ms's "visions for the future" to bring gamers together. Can't see it as something that will happen any time soon though.

I know you can play Halo 2 on xbox with Halo 2 on xbox 360 but those are the same game. But with BF2 the xbox 360 has extra, like the bullet holes and other little things. Also the button configerations are different, it's easier to change weapons on the xbox 360 then on the xbox.
