It's one of the things people don't get about most 360 games. There's still non-user tech needed to run these games. It's not pure P2P. Take something like Halo 3 - even though the match is "hosted" on one 360 there's still traffic between the game and Xbox Live for stats and match awareness, and I can see who is in your match, how much time is left and the score at all times. For that to happen, the match must exist outside of the networked boxes as well, correct?
Chromehounds was a good idea, but it had poor execution. Mechs were hard to control and it was too east to break the game with your created mechs. Too bad. It's one of the only games I bought at game's launch for 360 that I really feel bad about spending my money on.
Can't we all just get along and play our games in peace?
