Im just trying to play some local LAN with my roomate. Creating a game in LIVE never shows up and creating a game in NETWORK will show up for me but when my roomate tries to join it says 'Unable to join game, try again later'. Has anyone got this working?

Live is not used to play online
You use network

Also If your roommate is connected to the same network as yours you have to add edit the config file because
Each client that is behind the same external IP needs to have a different port setting.
Open the config (%localappdata%/Microsoft/Halo 2/halo2configX.ini) and change port = 2000 to port = 3000 or whatever you want.
Make sure to update the LanIP and WanIP where Wanip is your Public ip and LanIP is your local ip of the computer (192.168....)
These settings are needed to be done for the Client. If you are hosting the game then tell your roommate to do this on his computer
