Subject: The easy way to connect to XBC and Kai!!!

Halo 2 for Life!

To Connect to Xlink Kai (Kai):

First Make account Here (Press on words sign up on top left)

Then Download

If you have Windows 7 or Vista Do This

Next hook up your xbox to the computer using a cord (Like This) that has a phone jack looking thing on both ends.

Now you can play Kai!!!

What to do after your on Kai:
1. just leave configuration menu alone (might have to close it and open kai again to avoid configuring)
2. now your on general chat page, go to Game Arenas button in exact middle top.
3. now on scroll bar to left choose xbox
4. now on scroll bar to the left choose "First Person Shooter"
5. now scroll down to halo 2
6. now on the top left you can choose to favorite halo 2 to avoid going through the steps above each time
7. choose Latin servers on left side
8. on the left there will be different sub groups (if you cant find games in the main Latin server i.e. late at night go to these groups)
9. how Kai works from my understanding is you go to a group (I.e. Latin server) and then switch to xbox halo 2 menu for lan games and all games will pop up. Also creating a game in the halo 2 menu will automatically cause your game to show up on everyone elses halo 2 menu in that group (this is a huge advantage over XBC).


side notes:

-internet explorer runs it best, I have never ending troubles with chrome and kai (I don't use fire fox so unsure if works or not)
-Kai has more members (Latin Server best) then connect (by a lot)
-once done with kai shut it down. If try and keep it on and then next session try and play it wont work (this confused me for a while as I shut down the browser but it was still running , I had to exit on the bottom right)

To Connect to Xbox Connect (XBC):

First Register, then download Here

Then if you have vista or Windows 7 download this

Next hook up your xbox to the computer using a cord (Like This) that has a phone jack looking thing on both ends.

Now you can play XBC!!!

side notes:

-easier to connect to but has a very low population of users.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Mac users:

Do the same things as above but you have to do this first (thanks to Dr Syx for providing link)

Arrogant hyperbolic exclamations of woe? Seems like a normal day for Halo/Bungie.net.

Or:

If you have a slim, connect it to your Wi-Fi network. As long as the PC and the 360 are running off the same network, it's fine.

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

Same with Kai, but I think OP wants more people. He should try Kai.

Halo 2 for Life!

you'd might have to download that same program I'm unsure.

I just wanted to cut through the complicated instructions everyone gives and I came up with those simple instructions which should get you on XBC.

I didn't do it for mac's but it probably is quite similar, I would think.

Halo 2 for Life!

Well windows 7 doesn't include a certain file you need to run XBC that was present in XP.

That download gives you that file so you can run programs that require it.

Good Thread.

I have my Xbox connected to the router through Ethernet cable and I run x-link/XBColumbia through my laptop wireless.

  • 05.16.2011 5:44 AM PDT

Oh look! There's one for Mac users. Time to give this a try.

XBColumbia


Sad truth. My 360 is connected to a wireless network, my PC is connected to the router through LAN.

EDIT: Massive, do you play XBC/Kai? Since you love H2 so much, I think we should play some CTF or Tower of Power. I'm sick of all those kids who only want to play MLG SNIPES LOCKOUT.

xbc is easier.

See the only step you could get stuck on is the cord one.

do you have the right cord?

I have registerd and everything.
iam getting stuck while iam on the system link menu :/ No games pops up.....
And i can find my console. i pressed join and everything

  • 05.17.2011 1:11 PM PDT

Halo 2 for Life!

yeah some games are locked, well most are actually. What you need to do is press on one and if nothing pops up on your system link menu then cancel that window and try a different group until one opens... It's annoying. If that doesn't work you can communicate with the live chat and members will help you get into a game probably better then I can.
