Seriously, though, if you've never tried H2V online, you should. It's slightly more fun than CoD for a few minutes. Btw, there are ways to play on LIVE without buying the game. Just sayin'

Someone created a Halo CE/PC master server alternative when there were rumors that those master servers were going to be shut down.

What is preventing the modding community for H2V from doing the same?

Microsoft, apparently.

Guys, as much as I love to see the reminiscent discussions, I'd really like to keep this thread prioritized for the gaming night. This site has a terrible track at consistently keeping scheduled events from coming to fruition. So far by only 4 votes we have 10PM EST/7PM PST working best for everyone. I know more than 4 people including myself post here and play this game, so please vote.

Even more so we don't have a date or desired day of the week to do this. I WILL update the OP when I tally the preferred day. On top of that, I NEED custom map votes and nominations for this. This information is vital for the game-night's server (whoever ends up running it) and I'd really like it if we settled at least on a day of the week before January ends.

Xlive.dll and Halo 2 itself is preventing us. We cannot debug halo2 or h2server for more than around 3 minutes without it crashing on us. It's a bitch with all is debugger checks and xlive anticheat protocols. We've been able to null out some of them but removing them all is close to impossible. Not to mention they have a security catalog file that associates themselves with the executable so if there is a difference the game will not run.

Simply just host redirect

as far as mimicking the master server, korn prob has the protocols figured out

**KantIZBack** · January 24th, 2013 11:07 PM

Well, if korn does have that it would be appreciated if it was shared or that he did something. As of now all i have found is where it stores the info of the server you are about to join, and changing that works. But it's nearly impossible to debug the game to trace the procedures.
