Whether you have an Xbox or a 360, if you're playing Halo 2, hold back as the game starts and when the screen is still black, the scoreboard will pop up. Whoever spawns first (whoever doesn't have a Red X next to their name) has host. Sometimes it's more than one person, in which case I have no idea what happens, but when it's only one person, that person has host.

I think the host can be more than one player because they're both on the same box using split screen.
