Ok so I know (microsoft has explained this) that you can play Xbox players with a PC in Halo 2 for Vista but can you play them over a LAN?
If you can do you need a gold membership?

You can't play cross platform in any way.

Not possible in Halo 2.

Maybe you're thinking Shadowrun? That one is cross-platform.

What it is.

Yeah, H2V isn't cross-platform compatible. But there is a really interesting line in this config file where it states "<enableCrossPlatformSystemLink>false</enableCr ossPlatformSystemLink>" I'm not sure if anyone has tried to change that as True and then try LAN play with Xbox and PC. But who knows. Other than that, Shadowrun is the only cross-platform game with Live.

Most of the PC issues posted here are the result of PEBKAC.

It was cross platform during development, but some issues caused Hired Gun to take it out. Part of it has to do with the fact what Halo 2 was an Xbox game and not a 360 game. There are some netcode differences there.

The only way you can cross platform halo 2 xbox and halo 2 vista is to sit on your xbox in your computer chair and snuggle the controller while you try and play the pc version via the .ass keyboard and .ass mouse controls afforded to you via hg. Or you could use a 360 controller.

Either way it involves alot of snuggling with one system while you play the other.

BTW you will not be able to connect each system to each other, unless you have some major karma voodoo mojo going on.

If you get it to work, I would like a video or a screenshot at least.

Thanks.

Have a fab day. =)
