Noone ever joins my server :-(.
Just make an interesting server name, like "Great Fun Here". People will join. And you need to be patient, wait more than just a few minutes before people can start joining your game.
But if your friends say they're unable to join, forward your ports and/or lower your firewall if you have one up.
Yup, Master Kim is right. Whenever I host a server, the time it takes for people to get interested and join it varies alot. Most days, I can get probably 2-3 people per minute. But if I'm ub3r lucky, I can get about 4 people about 30 seconds after I've made the server (woot!). But on bad days it takes me a whopping 10-20 min. to get just 1 person to join. Oh, and if you ever decide to host quite frequently, remember to enable the console, so if any TKers, flamers, or quite possibly (but I don't think you'll be able to prove it that easily, or even come to your server) Aimbotters come on, then you can immediately ban/kick him out of your personal server. But don't worry, I haven't met any aimbotter ever since I started playing Halo, so you probably won't either. Also, remember to not abuse your admin power. Don't kick/ban people for fun, or for stupid reasons.
