Subject: Classic Carnage: Play Halo 2 on XBC

damn, would totally do this if I didn't have my entire family coming over on saturday.

I might be able to record the games for this if my laptop decides to cooperate. It depends how my brightness is affected in Halo 2 as well, when using my HD PVR in Reach the colours become a lot darker for some reason (on the TV, they are fine on the laptop).

Alright so I have ethernet from my Xbox to my router, and ethernet from my Laptop running XBC to the same router. Can't find my Xbox though?

Are you in Halo 2 system link looking for a game? (I can't remember if you actually have to be, just a suggestion)

Yeah, I'm at that screen where it says "Create a Game."

I've never played Halo 2, and wasn't planning on it until the Anniversary (rumor) comes out, I'll then play that with immediate succession of 3, which i've ordered one of the few remaining new Legendary Editions left in the market. I'd be interested in doing one of these in the future as my halo skills improve. but I'm pretty sure by the time I'm good enough to play with half you guys I'll be engaged into Destiny instead. annual H2? btw if they make the anniversary it will more than likely be a map pack to halo 4 just like CEA is to reach. Take all my specualtion out of this post and take it for I wish i had halo 2 so i could play but i'd be major n00b meat.

Oh yeah, since somebody does not believe what YOU believe; that makes us vapid...
I cannot grasp that what you call "Something happened to nothing, and that nothing became something, and it was smaller than than a period."

This sounds awesome, but alas I cannot play Xbox on Saturdays ;(
Oh well.

Whoo.

Geegs your problem is that you connected your xbox to your router rather than your computer, what you're supposed to do is connect your xbox to your computer, connect your computer to the internet and bridge the two connections.

After you've done that you can check if you've done it correctly by going into XBC and (after signing in) going to Tools > Find > My Console.

Buggerations, XBC Master Server is down. Hopefully it will be up for the game night tonight. Of all the days...

Two things.

A. Good luck, guys! 4 hours to go. Woo!
B. I find your lack of Blood Gulch disturbing.

Blood Gulch/Coagulation is actually pretty bad.

It needed to be said.

You're a terrible person and you should feel terrible.

Not at all. The engagement distance can make for inconsistent, even stagnant combat, particularly when you factor in the connection. I only really enjoy infantry combat as a sniper. I'll admit that vehicle combat does offer some redemption and that the map is one of the best, if not the best, vehicle sandbox.

CTF, combined with a steady stream of action can be good fun, but I don't think we'll have enough players to see the map at its best. Other, smaller maps, are far safer choices.

Edit: Valhalla was also superior, as it funnelled the infantry into the centre (narrowing the range of engagement), while also giving the option of moving around the side.

I'm having the same problem. :(

Does this mean it'll have to be rescheduled?

Valhalla is a terrible map compared to Blood Gulch.
Blood Gulch was great for anything between 2v2 and 8v8. I would know. I've done both.

You just are too set in your ways, dawg. Hate BUNGLE, Blood Gulch... you need to expand your horizons dude!

For Carnage, Apply Within.

I have returned from the Untamed Lands. MOAP is dead.

I hope this doesn't set us back. I need my carnage fix soon.

And Blood Gulch is a terrible map. Too easy to spawn kill players there and a horrible trek when your bases vehicles don't spawn with you.

Don't lose map control. I thought 'pro' players loved that sort of thing. If you lose map control you're screwed at spawn. The map is perfectly balanced. If you're in that position, you earned that position.
and a horrible trek when your bases vehicles don't spawn with you.Only if you don't know how to work the map correctly.

I hope the Master Server comes back up before this event begins...

And seeing as there seems to be a sub-topic on Blood Gulch now, I may as well contribute. Blood Gulch (and it's remakes) is (/are) my favourite map(s) in the series, which is partly due to nostalgia admittedly. I admit I don't like the map for Slayer but it plays really quite well for objective.
