THIS IS A THREAD ON HOW TO PLAY H2 AFTER "THE END"
btw, ninjas, could you rename this topic "How to play H2 after "the end""


I know I just excited most of the H2 players who are sad because all old Xbox 1 games are soon going offline.

If you have ever heard of XboxConnect, then you know what I am talking about.

Below is a quote from www.xbconnect.com
XBConnect works by making your Xbox think it is participating in a local area network (LAN). Best part of all, it's completely legal, and completey free to use. Any System Link game for the Xbox console is available to play on XBConnect.

Heres what it is
XBconnect is basically a program that you download to make your xbox work as if on System Link, but you are able to play with other people just like on XBL.
You can only play games that have System Link on XBC.
You can continue playing H2 and all your old favorites!
You play on your xbox, with a controller. Like always.
No cords needed, just internet, PC, Xbox.

I am amazed by the fact that this is legal and free (premium is 14.95 or something, I'll check in a few minutes and edit this)

I will DEFINITELY be on this once H2 ends.
This is not any sort of scam (I realized that I kinda made it seem that way.)

Heres the site

I am NOT trying to advertise any product in any way, I don't own XBC, I don't want to take away XBL users. I play XBL and will continue even after the end of original LIVE. I only want to keep the community of people that used to always be playing the amazing game (H2) together.

This is how I played Halo 2 online for many years when I didn't have Live. Didn't pay a cent either. :)

Exactly. We can keep the community of H2 players together. Btw, I haven't been on this site in forever, is there a way for me to change the title of my topic so we can get more people to notice this?

Just click edit and type in the title you want, unless something has changed since the last time I edited.

We do know about xbconnect and xlink.

For some reason I still can't change the title.
Oh well. Hopefully some of the people who say they'll miss H2 will see this and be relieved.

Pioneer and Enthusiast for Halo 3.

Thanks for informing the not-informed. I always knew about this, and it's so sad to see Halo 2 go, because I love the game and it has great Matchmaking, great maps, and cool customs.

Thanks for posting the site as well. I'll be checking it out later.
