Most people probably dont play Halo 2 on XBC because they have never heard of it/dont know what it is or they cannot set it up correctly or are just to lazy to, I used to use it all the time but have not in the past couple of weeks, i'm looking to get on sometime tommorow add me if you like my XBC name is cammy123

halo 2 still the best game in the series. long live halo 2.

Dam, I miss the old days playing halo 2 with my old brothers in arms. Thank you my old friends for giving me this account, I shall continue our legacy.

They might be playing the PC version of Halo 2 or they might be using xlink kai instead of xbox connect to play online. I personally use both the pc version and xlink kai to play Halo 2 online.

Yeah but how many people use xlink? In our servers we have about 20 games up during the day and around 7 at night.

50 in H2/H3? Great, but you still fail at this.

Lots of people in the Latin America lobby. Expect to get host after playing in any random game for a while. It's a giant lagfest there, where everyone has V1 and stock maps only.

Almost everyone is in colombia, with either unmodded or softmodded-for-piracy xboxes, so no one hacks, just lags like s**t. People do profile mods, but anyone can do those.

Oh, and no one has a mic. So you can talk, and they can hear you, but they can't respond.

I don't understand why people keep asking other people if they are a sugary substance used to spread on bagels and toast.

I use xbc, but usually only once a week or so.

Yeah weird but you only need to use an ethernet cord and have a program running. How is that hard? As long as you keep wincap updated you can play with the luxury of a controller and an xbox.

if people spread the word about xbc it could grow,its totally worth the 5 mins it takes to install it.
I say tell your halo friends about xbc, post it on other gaming forums. let it be known to thos who dont know about it. i would love to see people start making H2 montages again and let people relive the hours and hours of good old H2. i started playing H2 on xbc and it was great. i know i am going to start playing more on xbc. it will take time for it to grow, but if everyone trys to get this going i think we can do it.

Have you tried your firewall? When I was trying Xlink I tried everything it said, and nothing worked. Come to find out my firewall was blocking it.

Unfortunately due to the way both Xlink and XBC are setup. It is very important to play with a host close location to reduce the amount of lag you and other players experience.

Does XBC have a lot of users from the US? My biggest problem with Xlink is I can't find nobody but people from Latin America.

While this is true if you see the forum topic about XBC groups I have started a group via facebook due to the fact bnet groups don't have a notification system. The more people that join the group, chances are we can get more local hosts.

"I'll tell you right now, if you ever see someone called ll wa1do ll... leave the game immediately. My friend knows him, I've been in his party a few times, do not mess with this guy. From what I've heard, he's the real deal. I also heard someone made a guy named Wa2do (similar to his name) and then he hacked that guy and boosted off his level." -From Minou on Bungie.net

It's a hassle to have a computer next or near to my xbox.

Not to consider ethernet cables can be really long.

Yeah I know but it's just a big hassle for playing XBC which never really hit the spot for me in the first place.
