Subject: halo 2 Vista online locked

I am from Mars, that is why I wear red and was issued the MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor/M variant helmet, was also issued the experimental version of the Camo unit, that is why i have the Recon shoulder. I excel at CQB, hence the CQC shoulder. I have trained extensively with operation of vehicles therefore the armor on my left side is more substantial and the GPS navigator. the ODST chest is because I was embedded with a unit from the 105TH for 7 SpecOP missions, I have a great respect for them

is halo 2V online locked? i have a little lock picture next to the Optimatch and the other one, i cant find a match.


if it is locked, how am i supposed to get the multiplayer achievements?

is it possible to make a custom game?

if so would anyone be up for getting achievements?

Im not quite sure what you mean by locked? Use the server browser, but at best you'll find only 50/60 people online at any given time, most of them coag or lockout...

Creating a custom game that is public in the party options will show up to everyone so anyone can join.

It's a bug. Some people have that and others don't, the only fix i've heard of is to play campaign first for 10 mins or so and it should correct itself. Blame the poor job that Hired Gun did porting Halo 2 to pc...hopefully that fixes it for you (not a permanent solution)

i appreciate the reply but i am halfway through the campaign and it is still locked. it is really stupid that i cant get the achievements for multiplayer.

That lock icon was when some of Halo 2's online was restricted to gold members only, it is not a glich or a bug. It is supost to be there. But now that Microsoft has made GFWL free for all (and thank god too) the lock has no meaning whatsoever.

You may need to forward some ports, make sure you have the latest version of GFWL installed

I've just noticed thet Microsoft have finally merged the GFWL site with the Xbox site, -blam!- idiots. Don't they realize that they are doing more damage to the already fragile and failing system!?

Well if Zetrens right just use the server browser, it's much easier. And i meant by that supposed fix you play 10 minutes of the campaign each time before you go to multiplayer since for some reason it used to fix the bug where it said not available. *EDIT* not a bug, please ignore this and follow Zetren's advice. However, the server browser should work

what is the sever browser? is it the "browse game" option?(the one without the lock next to it.

because that doesnt do anything either.

Server browser should be the browse game yes. It should give a list of servers, mostly empty ones with a few that have players in it.
