This is an interesting idea. You should start a group dedicated to this.

If I start a group, nobody will know about it.

You need to post your region, not your town/city, so we know the general distances.

  • 11.19.2008 4:36 PM PDT

There is a way to play online, if you would allow me to post the thread I made on it?

  • 11.19.2008 4:53 PM PDT

Go right ahead, but we already know all about X-Box connect.

Just message me on live.

That would be creepy, going to a stranger's house to play Halo.

Donkey, if we all manage to find somewhere close, we can put signs up or even rent a small office or something to play. It's worth it.

Halo 1 Online

While browsing the forums I decided to go see the Halo : CE forum. On the side there was a locked forum, it seems as though it lasted forever. The title was How to...play Halo online. After hours of trying to figure out what to do I finally got help from someone, set it up and played two games of Team Slayer 2 v 2 on Damnation. It was great, but the thing was there isn't nearly enough people playing!


How to Start

Firstly I would like you to read through his thread to get a general understanding of how you do this.

Now that you've read this, go to http://xbconnect.com/, then go to Downloads. Scroll down until you see two downloads, click on the one fits you best. During installation they will ask if you would like to download another program, do this, you will need it later.

After it is downloaded and all ready to go, start it up, you will need to make an account. There are a few questions that you'll need to answer like every account on the internet is. After you have done. this sign in, and go to check if your connection to the internet is correct. You can do so by going here.

Turn on Some Options

You should now have a window called neXBC up; in this go to the top and click Tools. Go to Options
General Options
And finally check WinPCap library. (This is what they asked you if you wanted to install it).

RESTART neXBC BY CLOSING AND STARTING IT AGAIN

Now go back to Tools
Find
My Console

Check the answer to what they ask, if you get 100% after loading and it says ok, it's time to move on to the last part.

Brush the Dust Off that Old Game

Pop in Halo : CE or load it from your games library.
Choose your account
Go to multiplayer
Go to System Link
Sign in everyone you want to play with
Search for a game

Once you are searching go back to neXBC and click on a Halo : CE server and join. On your screen it should show there's a LAN game found, join it and have fun!

Credit goes to goweb! Thanks for your awesome thread!

Problems

Make sure XBC is not being blocked by your firewall!

Watch what the region of the game you are joining is, games can be very laggy!


Have fun on this Bungie Classic!

Thank you. The topic on the side was locked.

I beat the whole Legendary campaign without shooting just for fun. So if you're going to go on the forums and talk s**t about how hard Cortana was don't expect any sympathy from me. You know what? You suck at campaign. There I said it. ODST 4th Battalion & BTW -Ha! I win!

Where is the never button?

OK, this is like, a last ditch piece of desperation of a post here. My girlfriend cannot orgasm during orgasm. We've tried some things, but not everything. I'm not the biggest guy (5, possibly a little more, heh). If the first thing you are going to say is she needs to figure out what she likes, well, she has a hard time with that. She a shower girl.
