The End

‘The conscious is cancerous if allowed to linger’

"Even if you're on the right track, you'll get run over if you just sit there."

Livestream from Snipe Champ <3

On the 9th of November Halo 2 turned seven. Sadly it was largely neglected due to the absence of online play.

On Friday the 16th of December at 5PM PST the Community Carnage will grant the opportunity for you to rekindle your love for the shooter that set the standard for online multiplayer console gaming.

This event will be made possible through use of XBConnect, a network tunneling program that tricks your Xbox/360 console into thinking it is playing over LAN. Few realise it provides the connection quality of Halo 2's golden era on Xbox Live, complete with server browsers and voice communication.

If your trigger fingers now itch for the carnage of old be sure to read the information below.


Setting up XBConnect: For those of you not good with computer we hope this step-by-step guide will leave you mostly unscathed by the many wires and words. Grit your teeth, it's worth it.

ENSURE THIS IS SETUP WELL IN ADVANCE AND YOU UNDERSTAND IT FULLY BEFORE SIGNING UP (the thread has been posted early to give you plenty of time to sort this out)

Step 1: Check you have a compatible network setup (Help! My laptop/PC is wireless!)
Step 2: Download XBC client
Step 3: Download WinPcap
Step 4: Run XBC (create account), switch on Xbox and begin searching for system link games on Halo 2; provided you have correctly completed past steps your console will synch with your PC.
Optional step: More in depth guide; ensure you can hear others in game & host matches of your own.


_____________________________________________________________ ________________

Awesome, how do I sign up?
All you need to do is post your XBC username in this thread and confirm you can play. Note that in doing so you enter a legally binding contract, should you fail to attend your mother is fair game. If we are already aquainted we'll throw in a video.

Everything is interesting if you go into it deeply enough.

I'm down.

Oh.

Hell.

Yes.



Count me in! I don't have an account set up since I haven't used XBConnect in YEARS, but I'll be sure to set one up.

Trying something once will increace your chances of success, because you tried it. Try someting twice, and your chances increase yet again - seeing as you've done it. Try something a few thousand times, and your chances of success is exponentially increased; this increase would likely provide success every time

Very happy to see you going through w/ this Tom.

Only after we ban Bricypoo.

I wish I could, but I can almost guarantee I will have to work... Plus I'm too much of a idiot to be able to set XBC up.

I acknowledge my user name is stupid. However, I promise I'm not.

Disclaimer: The latter is a lie.

Lovely.

Why do people in ship mutinies always ask for "better treatment"? I'd ask for a pinball machine, because with all that rocking back and forth, you'd get a lot of free games.

Maybe in order to understand mankind, we have to look at the word itself: "Mankind". Basically, it's made up of two separate words - "mank" and "ind". What do these words mean? It's a mystery, and that's why so is mankind.

Me!

I just want to say that back when Halo 2 came out, me and some xbox live friends had a 3 day slayer match for Christmas.

I'll see if I can get XBC working again.

XBConnect isn't available for Mac and my Xbox is plugged into the same monitor as my PC. Because of the Xbox's handshake system I can't switch to my PC without restarting my Xbox as soon as I switch back. :(

Oh well, I'm Aussie anyway so it'd probably be laggy.

I'll try to get my old account working again. If not I'll post here anyways. Great idea though!

cortana 5 : It's perpetually my time of the month and I'm just grouchy.

How long you guys gonna be playing? I have State until 5:30 that night, but I'd be happy to get on after.
