No, I don't have a clan or anything. The dedicated server software is on the game dvd. As I understand all I need to do is install it on another computer which I have. I don't know how to do it though, I have looked online and found a thing or two on it but it was just 10 year olds telling you how to do it. I want to set up about ten game rooms If you know how to do it and can help me abvolt that would be great !

Nate152, I'm a Halo Junkie myself but not to discourage you, you have two Major Difficulties ahead. First you'll need an Actual Server ie: a machine with windows Server 2003 or better running and the knowledge to keep it going correctly. and second major problem is Microshaft in their Infantile March to cut out every option and force you to use Microsoft Store and XBox only turned off the Servers for Games For Windows and now you can't even install Halo2 anymore. Don't let me be the bearer of bad news...Look it up! it's been all over the net for about 6months now. Even 2KGames had to strike a deal with Steam and port all of the Keys to Steam! because of Microshafts Garbage!

Unless you play Halo on XBox your basically screwed. Sorry for this info if it's the first time you have seen it....Also you probably wasn't banned for you Clean Play but because Microsoft was trying to Kill the PC Game and they have been doing that Actively for the last 2years now. I've known sever people that were banned for no reason at all and a couple of them was force to PS systems because even their XBox accounts were locked up. One person in particular, Purchased an Xbox for the first time and purchased a Year Gold Membership and tried to play Halo 3 Reach and two days later she was told that she was Cheating and her Account was banned....Sorry but this lady couldn't ever have cheated because she couldn't even hardly use the Controller much less play the game, she was 73years old in a Rest Home!

Before anyone starts to promote or yell about anything in this post the Old Lady was my Aunt! And everyone here knows I have a Sever Hatred of Microshafts Policies.

Well I don't know where you got your information from but I installed halo 2 about a month ago and people are still running dedicated servers and I will be running them too as soon as someone helps me set some up. This is for PC not xbox.

So you gong to host this game from home and not a dedicated server , That should be easy to do there are many examples online I'll try to find the easiest way to do this if you like.

Here's 2 tutorials for you to take a look at. http://forums.gearboxsoftware.com/showthread.php?t=65330 and here http://halo.bungie.net/projects/halopc/content.aspx?link=halopc_dedserver
