I heard that the lag is HORRIBLE

  • 07.05.2004 8:26 PM PDT

Alright here it goes. You must have cable/DSL. Ethernet line from cable modem into router (make sure it's xbox live compatible for Halo2). Ethernet line from slot 1 to your pc, line from slot 2 to xbox. Download the software and away you go. Completely legal and free, it just makes your xbox think its connected to another box and you just play through system link under multi-player. On your computer screen you will have XBC running and a list of games, select halo and a list of people hosting games will appear. If you pick a game with a low ping (less than 75 ms) and join the lag isn't bad at all. You barely notice it if at all. I love it because I don't have anyone around me to play with. There are plenty of games on there with hosts and players with low pings, you can even sort them with the ping number. Find a game like that and you'll be done with campagin until H2 comes out. I suggest you try it, it will be good practice for the live experience that Halo2 will have.

i have xbc

and its best you have broad band like i do for the best games.

but the latest is xbc4 which is what we got now....and the lag isnt bad unless you got a bad connection.

when you do get it search for the games with the lowest pings ( its usually games like 42 or 43 ) they're the fastest running games.

a: by linking their computer and xbox into the same router and "tricking" you xbox into thinking it is a LAN party. Go to here

b: yes it is legal

c: your welcome

And that's why we have to have it. At least until Nov. 9th ;-)

Your all stupid, well not all of you. The lag is bad somtimes, but most of the time its beautiful. Halo online is crack. Reeeeallll gooooodddd crack. Xbl is awesome, but its no crack. Herye herye this is the download not the xbconntct page, but the download. I took out the work for you, its very easy for you. If you have live, then you should also have this. If you dont wanna fork over the dough for live but still have broadband, then you should have this. If you have a 56k disl up modem, then you should have this, just to look at and say " wow i can play halo online!". Anyone who has been at a lan party knows how sick a 16 player match is. Now imagine that, With your own big screen. Enough said.
