Hello, I'm new to these forums, although I have been looking at the threads posted. Anyways, I was wondering if it was possible to play Halo PC over a LAN with one disc. I've tried to run one computer without a disc, but it still asks for one. I only have one friend with Halo PC, the rest would like to play but can't because they don't have discs, and they are cheap people. :P Can Halo CE work on a LAN instead if I can't run do it with Halo PC? Thanks for any help. :)

EDIT: I can't download Halo CE because I have 128K Dual Channel ISDN and it would take hours to download it, and I only have a limited amount of minutes a month. XP

No, because if you want Halo CE on your computer(s) you have to have Halo PC already Installed, and if you only have 1 halo PC CD and many computers you would proubly intall the same game and key code of each of them then that wouldnt work because of some type of cheating thing that Bungie put in the game, so you cant play 2 or more computers togeather or it will kill the keycode then you will have to buy a new halo pc. Also the same for Halo CE. Im not for sure if you have to run the CD in halo CE or not, because halo Ce is crap and not made by Bungie, so their for already its crap. So dont be cheap and go buy more halo pc games and install them on each their own computer.

Halo PC was not made by Bungie either - so is it crap?
That was a very foolish statement.

CE is a heck of a lot nicer than HPC... I can given you 20 reasons, if you'd like.

Halo CE is good except the fact that hardly anyone is on it which actally is a bid deal. There isnt more that a 100 and its gettin really annoying. I just wish there would be a lo tof ppl on it. it sux. Well, if Halo 2 come out on PC then we can have H2 CE With Halo 3 COntent then hopefully we can have custom maps on that with lots of ppl on it. H2 CE would kick butt. hope it happens :) sorry for the offtopic post

So what your saying is that Halo CE can't be installed on two computers with the same CD? Also, I'm not being cheap, buying more copies of the game is too expensive for me (I know, but I don't get paided for my hard work like the rest of you), and I can't afford it.

You can install HPC and CE on as many computers as you like. To play it however you need the disk. You can't play multiplayer on the same server if the keycode entered was the same. I think that goes for LAN as well as Internet but I am not 100% sure.
