They said today in an update that there will be dedicated servers for Halo 2 Vista. Why couldn't we have dedicated servers for xbox.

no, halo 2 vista uses dedicated servers, not peer to peer garbage.

PC > wimpy xbox live

Halo2Xbox is a peer to peer system. Halo2PC is basically going to be more "dedicated" on the game itself, so of course you'll need dedicated servers for it.

The only way they could let users run dedicated servers from their house is to have a special CD that ran on the xbox.

These would have to be the requirments.

1. Halo DS DVD-Rom
2. Xbox Keyboard
3. 24/7 Running Xbox

First you would need the DS software.

Second you would need a keyboard to type all the Rcon codes in.

Third you would have to leave your xbox running 24/7.

Then on PC you can run multible DSes on one computer. Xbox you would need 1 cd and 1 xbox for every ds you made. :O

exactly, the Xbox just does not support running a dedicated server effciently. I dont know if this is even possible, but could someone maybe hack into live and manage to run a DS on a PC. This is way beyond the scope of my hacking abilities

This would probably only be possible when Live Anywhere is launched, and you would probably have to do some signifigant modding to the code in H2 Vista before you could do it
