LAN

Post by prsche68 »

I've got four comps hooked up but only one halo disk :(. Is there a way that anyone knows that we could all play together. Ive got a no-cd crack but there is no way that I can see around the cd key. So if anyone has any ideas or has any problems like this tell me. Thanks

well there is a simple solution, one often suggested by mighty MS:

buy three more disc so that you get three more serials so that you can play a game you legally own already on more than one computer at the same time

thatll cost you 200$! for all 4 discs'

then you ask, why the F$$$ did they put lan in! no one wants to have 4 sets of the same thing(of course your friends could buy some copies)

i dont think there is a legal solution to your problem other than having 4 disks

sorry for the lack of help/advice

cant we just go back to the days of starcraft and install spawns! its so easy!

Um, creating a LAN game sets sv_public to 0. It doesn't even validate the cdkey online for LAN games. I've played numerous times on my LAN using the same CD Key for all the computers.
