Connect your Ethernet cable you use to play Xbox Live into another Xbox 360 instead of a router/back of your computer.

Thats it? You don't need the internet to do it?

I doubt it, considering that Halo wasn't built to be compatible with the Internet.

No you don't need the internet to system link. Get a hub and two ethernet cables. Or, get a crossover cable and eliminate the hub. If you get a hub, make sure there are 4 ports so you can connect 4 xbox's together at the same time.

No, you don't need the Internet to System Link. If you're looking to link only two Xboxes, then, take an Ethernet Cord, plug it into the back of the first Xbox, then plug the other end to the other Xbox. If you want to link more than one, you'll need a hub, like the person above me said.

This is what a hub looks like in case you don't know.

What you do with it is that instead of connecting the Ethernet Cables to another Xbox, you plug all the Xboxes into the LAN ports on the hub.

We ran a LAN tourney back when with 16 box's/tv's. I miss those days.

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

That's because it was h2/3/reach. Halo 1 only supports 4.

Yeah, Hitboxing = fail. For example, a certan user from the maw who has never played Halo 2 Xbox online links to this halo 2 bash video (its much less exreme in acutial gameplay) which shows hitboxing, but it also exists in halo 3, which also has unbalanced weps and n00b armor (recon).

If you have a router with 4 ports you can just use it as your hub, too.
