edit: young, I think you got confused on what I said. I didn't mean that I ordered both Steel Battalion 1+2, just the Bundle for $191.97

ah, i see. yeah, i got both since i figured i would be playing the game online as well.

i bought the bundle yesterday (pre-order) Will buy SB2 if i really enjoy part 1. Looks like you get back what you paid for on ebay, not an awful deal.

I got Steel Battalion today. Wow, what a cool game! I jumped in without reading the manual, and it took me a while to even figure out how to move, but once I got going it was amazing. The controls do take a while to get use to, but I guess that is expected when there is over 50 buttons alone.

I do have one complaint about the controls, I dislike how tight the right control grip is, but other than that, they are great.

i think SB Line of Combat will be more compelling that the single player game.

mine is on the fedex truck... need to hit refresh on the tracking page...

sweeet! package was just delivered.

I preordered both from Best Buy and it's backordered already so I hope I just get one...

Does anyone know when capcom will ship LOC that was ordered through them?

It seems someone locked the other thread here which I was replying too. The topic of this should be changed to Steel Battalion Line of Contact to make it easier to spot and the "2" is misleading. Or maybe SB LoC connection problems.



Thanks for the link young, I had to register but there seems to be some good info there. They have a chart of required connection speeds (UL speed)

To get your speed, boot up your Xbox with no disc in the drive. Go to the Main Menu>Settings>Network Settings>Connect. When the 4 lights are green then press "y" on your controller. Your UL and DL are listed near the bottom.

2 players = 62.5kb
3 players = 62.5kb
4 players = 66.8kb
5 players = 89.1kb
6 players = 111.3kb
7 players = 133.6kb
8 players = 155.9kb
9 players = 178.1kb
10 player = 200.4kb

My connection is UL=100Kb, and DL=7570Kb so it looks as if I can't hit 6 players or 3v3 even.

That would be nice if the XBox connection tests were accurate, but they aren't. If you want an accurate testing of your connection speeds go to dslreports.com and use their speed testers.

np, that's pretty much THE Steel Battalion site.

let me say that i think this game is awesome! i thought i was going to go nuts w/ all the buttons, etc mainly b/c i'm used to racing games (brake and accelerator... ) but they actually are quite nicely laid out and logical. i still think some of it is overkill - what in the future, we don't have 1 touch ignition? - but it adds quite a bit to the immersive feel of the game.

i really thought that some of the people who were raving about the game were those that felt the need to justify the money expenditure, but, honestly, imo, it is well worth the cost. if they only made LoC work better (!!!! ), and you are a mech fan, it is a no brainer.

i remember going to chicago, when i was in college, to play in the battletech arenas. you sat in a semi-enclosed cockpit. that's sort of what this reminds me of.

played my first online session yesterday... it wasn't pretty.

1st match, i didn't even get a shot off. i lost about 6 Vitzhs over the course of about 5 matches.

it was fun but lots of practice is needed.
