Bridging Halo 2 - The Anti-Mod
Ahh, the cheapest Halo 2 mod known to man. Despite its cheapness, bridging Halo 2 is also the least used mod. Often compared to being the equivalent of running away from a fight while screaming, little girls seem to have more guts then most bridgers.
Halo 2 bridging is usually used in a mod team or as a defense against modders. (A mod team includes a standbyer, a hard modder, a bridger, and a "legit" player. The entire reason for this is to raise the "legit" player's rank.) Most players also use bridging as an anti-modder defense, which I believe to be fine until they start abusing it.
Bridging Halo 2 is basically being as cheap as possible. A bridger can lag everyone else out of the game, and/or choose the host, giving him a huge advantage.
If your goal is to tick off as many people as possible and you are gay, then go ahead and start to abuse bridging.
I find being bridged against for no reason the most aggravating thing online. Sometimes, just turning off the system is the best thing to do. You'll lose some experience, but it's better then losing your temper, and soundling like you're constipated.
However, if you just want to bridge with your friends in custom games or use it to defend against modders, I'm pretty sure how to do it. By the way, I took me awhile to figure out how to fricken' start bridging Halo 2 (which cranks up my cool factor to 4), so make the best use of it.
First, connect your router to your PC, which it should be already.
Next, connect your PC to your Xbox. You need to have two ethernet ports in your computer to connect it. Remember to use a crossover cable(a system link cable) to connect the PC to the Xbox.
If you want to force host, you will want to get ZoneAlarm, which is a security program. If you want to force host, you'll probably need Commview, which is a program that monitors your LAN connections(it gives you their IP address). Make sure to turn all of your internet security settings to low on ZoneAlarm and everything else.
To give host to someone, get their IP address from Commview. Go into a party where they(whoever you want to have host)is the only person and get their IP address. Enter it into Zonealarm's trusted section along with Xbox Live's IP address. Then turn the security settings to high and your trusted zone to medium. This will force host to the trusted IP address(the trusted IP address can be your own).
To boot someone, you must have host and go to ZoneAlarm. Get the IP address of whomever you want to boot from Commview and enter it into the Blocked section of Zonealarm.
Continue to start up your Xbox then unplug your ethernet cable to get to the troubleshooter. Copy down your DNS server codes.
Then, go to My Computer> View Network Connections> Highlight both Connections with the shift key(hold shift and click on both items).
Right click and select bridge connections. Note: make sure to enter your DNS codes when it is asked for in the troubleshooter.
This will bridge the game and will either lag players out or force host.
These are the instructions for Windows XP users since that's the OS(operating system) that I use.
Bridging Halo 2 is a good thing to know to stop modders.
PS \\ dont be stupid, use this to defend your self against modders, not to cheat, cuz then your only as good as the modders who change the games properties to cheat _________________ Please post all PC Questions at PC-HQ.com
