The Halo Thread

[JPS]

Who plays Halo? Perhaps if we have enough people that plays it we can have a Pavilion Free-For-All:lol

[irate giraffe]

Oh man you don't realize what you've asked for.

[SirTMagus]

There are, like, three Halo fans here.

I'm one of 'em.

:\

[Doyleman]

I just installed it.

Wanna play today, or laterz?

[JPS]

I'll play now

Im itching to play:lol

[JPS]

sorry for 2x posting, had to figure out how to set up a server

Game name is pavilion

IP is 192.168.1.103:2302

[Doyleman]

K

******* around with it*

[JPS]

I have no idea how to join a specific game...:(

my alias is Jeff and its on a T1/LAN connection, if that helps, its slayer - Free For All

Anyone is welcomed to join

[Doyleman]

Well, direct IP only works if there's a password or something...

I looked for 'pavilion', but didn't find it.

[JPS]

I didnt set a password so you might be able to get in without one

Im trying:(

Ok server name is "Pavilion" password is "pavilion", perhaps you can direct IP with that?, I dont think so but you can try pavilion as the password with the IP #

[Doyleman]

LAN? Isn't that only for computers around each other (like, within a short distance: perhaps a town or so)?


IDK...

[JPS]

I've connected to a T1 game before:(

let me try something else then

Im really sorry:cry

EDIT
Im on a DSL/Cable connection now

[Doyleman]

Here.


I'll make a game named "JPS and Doyleman" (or something)

you go from main screen to multiplayer > Internet, and look for it.

tell me if you dont see it.

[Doyleman]

K, I made it. No password. Named JPS and Doyleman.

Its 'Battle Creek' (or something like that....)

(Sorry to double post....)

[JPS]

I didnt find anything:(

how hard can it be to do this?

What is your Server IP?

[Doyleman]

ummm....

192.168.1.101:2302

[JPS]

I dont know man...Im stumped...this doesnt make any sense on why we cant play:(


Join the AEHW2 Game that has a ton of spaces in the front of it...if you see it, its at the very top after it refreshes completely

[Doyleman]

Hm....

Anyone around here know how?

[JPS]

I was hoping Irate or Magus would butt in and save us but they kind of disappeared:(

[Doyleman]

what version of halo do you have?

I have Combat Evolved...

I doubt that has anything to do with it, but eh.


**edit**

Okay, you make a game, tell me the name, leave it unpassworded, and I'll try looking for it once more.

according to my manual, it shouldn't matter what version of halo people have.

[JPS]

I have Combat Evolved

Build # 01.00.07.0613 but I dont think that matters either

[Doyleman]

yeah.

try making another game called Pavilion. I'll look for it one more time.

If it doesn't work, I'll start looking around for answers.

[JPS]

Hosts' Name: Jeff
Server Name: Pavilion
Password: None
Server IP: 192.168.1.102:2302
Map: Sidewinder
Max. Players: 6
Connection: DSL/Cable(Med.)

Thats all I can help with

[Doyleman]

OH YOU'VE GOT TO BE KIDDING

I found it.

It wont connect for some retarded reason.

It says, when I click join:

Negotiating with server.

Connecting to server 66.84.86.69:2302

then it re attempts like 5 times, then says unable to connect

[JPS]

Howd you find it?

reconnect to it the game was over because time ran out:(

[Doyleman]

I clicked 'Join Game', and just looked at every 'sidewinder' mapped game, and found it towards the bottom.

[irate giraffe]

Either of ya'll ever heard of PMs?

[JPS]

Same could be said about half of the topics at the pav irate, esp. the RTS thread:p

[Doyleman]

Sorry...

JPS: I give. I keep clicking join, and it'll never connect.

We'll have to try again sometime, cuz it's kinda late for me.

[JPS]

no problem, its late for me too, I got a road trip coming up in the morning, so I guessl we'll try again sometime

[JPS]

Im up for some Halo tonight if anyones interested

Im learning how to create a server now, seeing its obviously not a click->join thing:(

[Doyleman]

Actually, I played a few games online by that method.
I don't know what it is exactly that messed up for me and you, though.

(Oh, I also joined a 'clan' on halo. dunno if that's good or bad, though, lol)

[JPS]

Maybe we can try again tonight sometime, this time in the confines of AIM or yahoo so Irate doesnt get a giraffes head up his butt:lol

[Doyleman]

My aim name is doyleman77, but yeah, I figure we should use a IM this time.

[JPS]

ok mine is cryoutinpain4you, just pm me whenever youre ready to give it another shot:lol

[Dusk Raven]

I would play Halo 2 online, but, sadly, we must have signed up to Xbox Live the wrong way (we tried to sign up online, then we didn't get a connection, then when we tried to sign up normally, it says our activation code has already been used).
Does anyone know if you can play Halo 2 online using the Xbox 360?

[JPS]

Im not too sure, Ive never played Live, or had an xbox for that matter:(

Sorry I wasnt much help, but perhaps you can call someone if their # is on the halo book somewhere and see if they can wipe that registration number off or something,...Im not sure

[Chrono]

Yes, you can play Halo 2 on the 360, I've done it a few times. But I can't stand most of the people that play on there.

[Dusk Raven]

Alright, that helps. my only worry is that by the time I'm able to play Halo 2 online, Halo 3 will be out.
