Halo Pc Hosting
« on: March 14, 2004, 05:38:00 PM »
I have no idea if this is the right place to post this but my brother who I deem full of shit most of the time told me that he hosted an XBox Halo Lan game with his comp as the server. Can this be done? I told him I didn't think so and he swears that his friends pulled it off. Someone please confrim or deny this thanks.

Yes, it is possible. All you need is to hook up a pc and your xbox to a router, and you can use tunneling sofware to host games like HALO. All your brother needs is a fair speed like broadband internet.

So.. yes, it is possible, it has been done, and people do it all the time.

Yes that is what I mean. He told me that he used his PC version of HALO to host a LAN game with his buddies I told him that was impossible and he swore up and down that he did it and so did one of his friends that was there. So now I can look at him and deem thee FULL OF SHIT!!

Thanx for the help guys.  biggrin.gif

Yeah... I know exactly what you're talking about, just here on the scene we have had people that swore up that kind of things is doable, and even worst, that "a friend" did it.

Poor bastards...
