here are some gamertags to help people link up and play our favorite co-op games. if there are any other games you'd like to see, let me know and it can be arranged if there is enough interest. here's the list thus far:

co optimus | link | the general co-optimus gamertag | managed by bapenguin
cooptimus halo3 | link | Halo 3 | managed by smurphster
cooptimus GoW2 | link | Gears of War 2 | managed by smurphster
cooptimus L4D | link | Left 4 Dead | managed by smurphster
cooptimus ODST | link | Halo 3 ODST | managed by smurphster
cooptimus ODST2 | link | Halo 3 ODST | managed by smurphster
cooptimus ODST3 | link | Halo 3 ODST | managed by smurphster
cooptimus ODST4 | link | Halo 3 ODST | managed by smurphster
cooptimus BL | link | Borderlands | managed by smurphster
cooptimus Ao2 | link | Army of Two | managed by smurphster

also, if there's one you'd like to manage but need an email account, let me know.

these gamertags should help finding people to play with. on your xbox, go to the gamertag and "view profile". then "view friends" and send invites to anyone who is online. please don't abuse the lists. report any abuse to the gamertag's manager.

do not send messages to these tags because we do not check them regularly. if you need help, post here or contact the gamertags manager.

happy co-op fragging!

edit: for those who may be interested, you can find the scripts i use auto-accept friend requests on my site.

Nice job on this. We have two things in the works that will potentially make these things easier. Probably won't see them till near the end of the year, but I'm pretty excited.

Nice work!

wow that's great work thx

[smurphster]

wow i wasn't expecting such positive feedback. thanks!

i'll post the scripts once i get them documented and packaged up.

nick, you're starting to sound like a game developer with your hints and no real info... what are you working on?

[Armor Biff]

I just sent friend requests to all those 4 gamertags.

[justabaldguy]

Well done smurphster. You picked excellent titles to run with initially. Look at all those on the Halo 3 board looking for partners!! Hopefully this will help out there. Glad you took the ball and ran with it.

Added the left 4 dead one.

weird.. it should have added you but it didn't. my scripts need some work

[smurphster]

added "cooptimus ODST"

FYI, the scripts seem to fail every 12 hours or so and i'm trying to figure out why. if you add one of my gamertags and you don't get added right away, let me know. i've been trying to restart it every day but sometimes i forget.

Rainbow six 1 or 2?

I suppose I should ask at some point: how exactly do the meetup gamertags work? Just check the GT's friends list and spam it with invites, or is there something more?

the ODST tag is about to hit the cap (100)... now what? any ideas?

ODST 2.

ODST 2.

yeah but then we'll have 2 disconnected groups. or people will just add both and we'll have the same problem.

i'm hoping the fall update adds enough integration with facebook that we can just use facebook groups and have no limit. doubtful though

[smurphster]

well its capped... if nobody can think of a better system i'll just create another tag.

I was thinking that perhaps you could do it via proxy?

Have ODST 2, be friends with ODST list. And then allow that friendlist to be viewed by anyone?

If it works, you could link lots and lots of lists together.

[Biohzrd451]

Yea you should be able to have a proxy view although it would take a bit longer to nav the menu but having ODST 2 be friends with ODST would allow friends on either side to see each other, although you should remind people who are on the first friends list not to jump on the second as well.
