alright so i have a few question here and was appreciate if you all could help me...

first of i already bought halo 2 but was letting my friend borrow it until i get my video card next week. i made a dedicated server at his house but was wondering on how to find it. i have a silver account. (i already know it would be my account name) so if i started halo 2, went to browse games it would be in there? if not, how would i access it from another computer?

i also heard you can create a dedicated server and play halo 2 on the same comp if you change the port settings... anybody know anything about that?

and the last question, is if somebody could post instructions on how to create a playlist for the dedicated server, as i want to have that ready for when my video card comes in.... i know you use notepad but thats about it.... if someone could post their own version of instructions or the one from the dedicated server notepad would be great....

thanks for any and all help!

Yes, I am a hypocrite, and I'm sorry. I really do mean well, but I'm not running on all cylinders.

Everytime someone buys a copy of Halo 2 Vista, a puppy dies.

What about adding the maps to the map cycle? In Halo it's like
sv_mapcycle_add bloodgulch ctf
sv_mapcycle_add ratrace slayer
sv_mapcycle_begin

How do you set up something like that for Halo 2 dedicated server?
