i start a server and it will let some people join and for others, it just says unable to join server. And secondly, i am tired of people called me a "camper" for guarding my flag in ctf like im supposed to just leave it and not guard it. its not that hard to kill someone guarding a flag

Ok first off if someone else is having problems why do you care? If people can join and some can't than that means THEY are having issues and is not you problem..

For why people call you a camper, people are going to complain no matter what you do; it is human nature. If you suck they will insult you however, if you pwn them they claim you a camper or a cheater. I always try and think the "I'm rubber your glue thing." Plus if they are getting mad then that means you are doing something right like pwning them vicously.

If someone insults me or calls me a name or something I TRY to respond with a lol and a thank you. OMG that pisses people off. When people can't get reactions they get frustrated because they are looking for a rise out of you, that's what keeps them saying something. If you are an ass like saying thank you and thanks for the compliment then eventually they get so pissed they leave.

If they keep complaining then just kick them...its YOUR server. Don't let it get to you dude, just brush it off and keep pwning.

Hmm...tell them to check their firewalls and also to check the ports; they might have to foward them.

No, you have to. The host is the one who's firewall would be the issue.

Check your IP, is it local? I tried hosting games before, I never was able to get my friends in it, until I relized I was giving them the wrong IP. As for joining through the Lobby, the only advice I have is check your port settings, and watch the firewalls, If you're lucky, you can probably set halo so it allows anything in or out. But if you don't, then just turn it off.
