halo server

diduknowthat · 03-21-2006, 10:59 PM

hey guys, I'm thinking of starting a Halo server for my friends in winchester. Maybe a max of like 8 ppl. I have verizon FIOS, 5mbps. I was wondering, how good of a computer do i need to use as a dedicated halo 8 person server?

I use a old 800MHz one for my cs server. you just need a lot of ram and good bandwith

The main thing you need is upload speed, whats your upload?

diduknowthat · 03-21-2006, 11:27 PM

1524kbps up

thats really good, you should be able to host at least 8 people. As for the computer, im not sure since i never ran one, but ive heard you just need alot of RAM.

how much would alot be? 512mb? a gig? 2 gigs? I highly doubt we'd ever had more than 6 ppl at once.

I'd say 1 gig or 2 gigs to be safe.

a gig should be fine becasue I have a gig in my cs server and it handles 10 ppl no problem

Is that CS 1.6 or CSS?? Cuz Halo needs more power for a server because the engine and crap is way better.
