As of update 0.5.2.0, UPnP is now enabled in the Project. This means that you don't need to port forward in order to host games. Note, this requires UPnP support in your router/gateway. If you try hosting and no one sees your game, you will most likely need to port forward.

Update June 2022: Update ports
- The host needs to port forward ports 2000, 2001 UDP and 2010 TCP to their computer. Visit portforward.com for more assistance.
- The port range is determined by the base port in the halo2configX.ini file where X is the instance number (if you open the game multiple times the number increases). The config file is usually found in
%localappdata%/microsoft/halo 2
or in the Halo 2 install folder. Use Wordpad, Notepad++ etc. to open the file. Do not use Microsoft's Notepad. - Port range = base port + 10
- Usually there is no need to change the base port, but if you're having issues hosting, trying changing it to something else, like 15000, and port forward 15000-15001 UDP and 15010 TCP
- The port range is determined by the base port in the halo2configX.ini file where X is the instance number (if you open the game multiple times the number increases). The config file is usually found in
- Host also needs to verify that halo2.exe is allowed through all firewalls and that all inbound and outbound connects are allowed for the executable.
- After port forwarding, the host needs to select "Create a new game" in the ONLINE menu.
- Players should now be able to join the custom game.
- Currently, there is no way to invite or block people from joining. Once all players have joined, the host can close the lobby through the quick options menu.
- Host only
- Pregame lobby or In Game
