..........

Can you read English? When you load Halo PC, you see the main menu. Underneath "Campaign" there is "Multiplayer". You see that? You click "Multiplayer". Then you can make your own game, or join one. It's all really simple. When you join the game lobby, don't forget to click "Get List" to get the list of games on the internet that are available.

Wow, I'm usually not that nice to newcomers.

I just told you. Click the self-explanatory "Get List" button on the bottom left corner of the screen when you first see the gamelobby to see the games.

Also the AR is actually good in CQB now and no longer a glorified baseball bat.

Download the 1.07 patch. Then try. You can find the patch here.

that usually means for me when i get that message is because my router crapped out. if it doesnt give u the patch than it could be a firewall.

What kind of internet access do you have, dial-up or broadband?

  • 06.29.2006 8:46 PM PDT

Also, if you have to connect to the interent manaully rather than always being connected...It would help to connect to the internet

I've been around these parts for almost eight years now...wow! Maybe I should be concerned about that...

This is a very complicated process, I know, but let me try and help...

STEP 1-Start up Halo.

STEP 2-Click on Multiplayer.

STEP 3-Click on internet.

STEP 4-Click "Get List"

STEP 5-Play a -blam!- game and stop bothering me!

Ok, guys, except for igg, Spartan, aj and PWN E, shut up. He may have a ACTUAL problem. Make sure your router is on, or that you are dialed onto the internet. Next, try to run multiplayer, It will try to look for updates, if the update window hangs around too long, update manually in the games folder. If that doesn't work, go here to manually download the update. If it STILL doesn't work, install Halo CE, it fixed MY online problem, it might fix yours. I apologise for others rudeness, just please put some more information so that we can more accurately help in solving your problem.


Before I forget, ONE OF US!......ONE OF US!!!!!

And dont forget to make sure your firewall is not blocking halo if your running XP it blocks it ,

And set your filters to default.

I am pretty sure it was you who decided to go onto this site, look at the forums and find the post, and then you went so far as to click this post, read that other people had already answered him, and then actually post that HE was bothering YOU.

Right. If you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything and let someone nicer take care of him. Serve him advice with a side of niceness or don't serve him at all. Better than giving him insults with a side of advice.

As for Kim, Omnios, Squee and Darkness: If you can't help him, then do us all a favor and STFU. Seriously. It's getting annoying. And you've just made history by being the first people to whom I have actually flamed in all my time here at Bungie.

I would check your internet connection one more time. I would also check for firewalls, and see if they either have a Game mode (like ZoneAlarm) or require you to alllow Halo to access the internet. Then, I would also check to see if you've got filters on Halo, go into settings and turn all game filters off.
