buy an online multiplayer game e.g. Call Of Duty 4 then when the menu appears it normally has an option 'Multiplayer' pick the Xbox Live option and it will go online then the game will find a lobby for you to join or put you straight into a game.

To add people normally they will send you a friend request,you accept it and it's added to your list,tbh, not sure how to do it manually.

When you play online be prepared for morons,retards and idiots especially when playing FPS such as COD 4

You will get a lot of banter,some friendly,some not.

example my tag is blackwrx93 and i had 2 Yanks being extremely rascist because i had 'black' in my tag when i spoke to them they realised i wasn't black and then had a go about why i had black in my gamertag

You do also have the ability to mute annoying ****s and if you get very annoyed you can leave feedback and make them a player to avoid (you can also make people you do like playing with a preferred player).

I have an issue, as the machine I have is a second hand one and the guy I got it off played online with it, its stuck with his gamertag unless I buy extra points to change it, the thing is he has got negative points on his account for being overly aggressive?? lol

the gamer tag I am using is "the dole office" I have tried to add a couple of people already but not sure if I have done it right.

whats yours micky?

Why not delete that profile and create your own gamertag?

I thought it only costs if you want to change the name of an existing account, deleting one and creating a new account is free.

dont worry about negative marks, i have about 75% of people avoiding me, mainly because i kicked **** on gears of war to many times and the kiddies did not like it.

it only ever comes down, it never seams to go up LOL


i was playing battlefield the other day and i never had my headset on, i could hear some yank complaining about me for some reason through the TV (sound plays via the tv is the headset is not connected)

no idea what his beef was, but he was calling me a ****en ***** (nothing new lol) and various other jolly comments, srange thing was he was on my team

the headset was flat and needed charged up, so instead of dragging out a text message, i just walked over and knifed the **** in the back PMSL

negative marks went up 1% after that
