Author New to consoles - advice

Hi all,

Having been a keen pc gamer for many years because of the online gaming my
ears have been pricked by the spec of the xbox 360. I know there will be a
feature xbox live but are there limitations on the online game play (no. of
players, titles, etc)? I get the most fun from a game when playing COD,
CSS, etc against 24+ other players online.

Also, will it be possible to use a mouse and keyboard with the xbox 360 -
I'll let you hardcore console users get bunions and arthritis in your hands!

Cheers and tia

Hello Sacrum,

The limitations on games are only set by the developers. Live is not
software, it's a service. If you look on the back of any game, it will tell
you how many players are allowed. In some games (most that I've played)
it's either 8 or 16. Some games do 32, and the new BF2 is (I *think*) 64.
