Find a few good servers and stay there
Our Halo PC dedicated server is online and running. We are getting smooth 66ms pings which will be great for gaming online.
The server is called "hushedcasket.com" in the game browser. You can join by entering "hpc.hushedcasket.com" as the IP of the server.
Tips on playing:
On XBOX Live, you hop online, you play a few games, and once you sign off that micro-community you just participated in dies. There’s no guarantee that those good games you just had will be there the next time you join up.
By frequenting the same dedicated servers that you like, you’ll eventually notice that others frequent those servers. A community emerges and you will have assurance that good games are to be had when you sign online.
Take some time. Find some good servers and stick in them. THX has setup a server with classic THX gametypes on good maps.
Over time, after enough players have been through the server, a community will form and the server will be populated with players who like to play the same gametypes and maps we do. That is, you won’t have to play all those heavy weapons only gametypes that are flooding online Halo PC svr population.
