I'm having absolutely no problems on 360. Been in multiple 10+ player parties and no lag. Even a game of rockets on IT didn't lag.

Alright, so I set up XBC... No what?

Just try to find a System Link match?

Once you add your console wait in the system link lobby (right after where you choose your players) and then double click a game from the H2 listings and it will show up on your console.

Hmm.. nevermind. Apparently it's not able to find my console. :/

The computer and 360 have to be on wired LAN. have your 360 sit in the system link game finder thing and then tell it to look for your console.

Well I think someone might have took it down to the electronics disposal place since I couldn't get it to open anymore so I chucked it into the garage. Chucked is probably the wrong word since that thing was huge.

30ms ping limit will put a downer on it, guys gunna have to get the OG xbox out.
Click to expand...
I would like to further clear up that the 30 ms ping limit is coded for all 360 games only(well almost all). It was a standard Microsoft put in place to prevent devaluing the Live service. That's why you shouldn't expect to see barely any more lag than you would from normally playing Halo 2 over live unless some of you have really bad connections. I'll be on 8 hours from this post. And I have all the maps :p.... on two of my consoles :D. It's unfortunate Tombstone and Desolation are forever gone for people who didn't download them for free before the OG live servers were taken down

Running a Mac, any ideas on how on how to get on since I don't have a copy of Windows to bootcamp my MBPro with?
Click to expand...
When I was looking I basically learned there isn't a way to do it natively on the Mac. Looks like they were either developing a version or were looking into it but it never happened.

You can do it with Boot Camp or Virtual Box like I tried. I found a tutorial for this on their forums but I couldn't get it working. I gave up. I'll try again soon. This method still requires a Windows disc.

Edit: I'll post a link to that later if I can find it.

Well, I have my 360 hooked up directly to my laptop. Would that work, you think?

Also, I tried sitting in the System Link finder, and then tried searching for my console... No dice.

EDIT: I'm using Windows 7 if that has anything to do with it.

You still need your xbox hooked to the internet, I'm pretty sure. Just connect both to your router

I just got the US OXM Octoober issue in the mail. It has H1 MC on the cover. It has some new screenshots of Halo CEA campaign.

It's pretty neat.

The ping limit is only for 360 titles bro, Halo 2 (played on a 360 or OXB) have no such limit.

I would, but I don't have a router. I have a modem with one ethernet port haha. I'm using CLEAR (aka worst internet ever), so the modem has wireless capabilities, and that's how I connect my laptop. It's sad, really. :(

I'm pretty sure it's quicker for me to pick up a controller, flick the stick, press A, and put it down again, then it is for someone to navigate to a button and keep their 'hand' over it for a few seconds using Kinect. And I expend less energy and have greater accuracy.

I said all that to my xbox as I was leaving the room on the way to the fridge! Can't beat that.

Noone said kinect cursor is supposed to be more effective than a controller or a replacement, but kinect does have its moments where nothing else comes close. I don't want it to replace a controller, and it's not supposed to (dumb shovelware being released for it doesn't mean anything), I defend kinect because I want it to be used to allow interactivity in new ways that were not possible before, whether the close minded folks embrace them or not, if kinect on Halo is redundant and something that is much better done in a controller just to simultaneously please MS and the cool internet kids crowd instead of 343 coming up with something neat thinking outside the box, I'll be disappointed.





edit- I need the dlc Halo 2 maps too, they keep getting deleted and there's no way to grab them from xbl now :(

Their is a way to get the maps and install them via USB i think. Since the maps are free i dont think its classed as piracy.

Yeah, we payed for the maps, if you can get them on there no one should be able to stop you.
