2. Me and my cousin want to play together on xbox live, how can I make me and my cousin get in servers together? Give him a controller and let him sign under as a 'guest'

 

 

 

3. at forge how do i get more money in my budget? when you look at something the circle go green, press the Y button(deletes) and you get the cash it took to spawn it

You're headset isn't connected. Are you sure you synced it to your controller correctly?

 

 

 

2. Me and my cousin want to play together on xbox live, how can I make me and my cousin get in servers together?

You just need to add him or her on Xbox Live. Simply press friends (Y) and add name. Or you can go to the Xbox Guide and do it. After he/she is added, you can invite him or her to your game and voila.

 

 

 

3. at forge how do i get more money in my budget?

You simply just need to delete other items. Press Y to delete items. D Pad up to get into your spawn item mode. You can select what you want from there.

 

 

 

Have fun playing an awesome game on XBL. :D

My headset is connected correctly and I followed all the steps in the manual too, it just doesn't work right. Maybe its just messed up?

thats what I thought the problem was but it didn't solve anything

To make sure your headset works:

 

1) Does it work both ways (the speakers and mic) for other games?

 

2) If it does, then it just might the d-pad thing.

 

3) If not, your headset is faulty, they're pretty fragile actually. You might have to get a new one.

 

 

 

You could always check if it works by talking into it of course. Join any lobby, and speak into your mic. If the audio icon pops up, you know it works. If not, it doesn't work. Remember to click the "on" switch!

 

 

 

The power button with 1/4 light icon just shows what controller that player is using. You're first player, so you should have the top-left circle light lit up. Second player gets the top-right lit up, and so on. That circle only shows up for your screen, nobody else on xbl can see it (just as you can't see anybody else's).

 

 

 

To play with your buddy, add him as a friend, and when he's on, invite him. To invite players, click the xbox guide button (the big X button in the center of your controller) and go to your friends list, choose a player, and invite. If they join, you can do pretty much anything with them, campaign, custom games, matchmaking games, theater or forge.

 

 

 

If you want to play matchmade games, you'll have to choose a playlist that allows the number of players you have in your party (for example, social slayer is 5). All party members will be in the same team, and will always stay together. It's pretty nifty.

 

 

 

To get more credit into your budget, just delete items. Different items will have different values, like vehicles have much more value than say, a gun. I really don't know the point of a budget. To keep the game balanced maybe? But who doesn't want a hundred tanks on a map like Guardian?

thanks for the info and I think my headset is just messed up, I've checked almost everything and it still doesn't work, I'll try to see how my cousins headset works

[Seer]

u can actually change the value of some items but not all in forge.

 

 

 

 

 

as for ur mic, make sure its infront of ur mouth. had that problem several times and had to shout before i noticed it. also when ur talking on ur mic, a symbol will pop up over the scoring bars and will show if ur talking or not. hope this helps.
