![]() Hosting a game After getting the consoles to launch the game we wanted to get them all into a match before people arrived to ensure that they could, you know, actually play the game. It will prompt you to install all, just say yes and it will let you boot up the game as that account now. In the store just select “Buy Game Free*” and just get the multiplayer. The Fix You have to go to the Microsoft store and buy the game as the account you want to use, this allows the account to boot the game. This is an issue if halo is downloaded with an account using game pass, even though halo is free the store will still check for a “game license” and because this dummy account has never “purchased” halo infinite, it will boot you back to the dashboard telling you to log in with the account that purchased this title. Each of these consoles have dummy accounts that are exclusively there for these parties, so none of them have any real purchases on their account. Launching the game Launching the game was the first challenge I encountered, I showed up a few hours early to get the final steps in place and found that half of the consoles there couldn’t launch halo infinite. Bazaar is the worst map for frames from what we found, as long as you stay away from that I had 30 FPS consistently through the day. Some props to 343 My old Xbox one from 2013 ran this game fine. In the past we got Halo 5 to make it work this way and it’s a nice feature because you’re not relying on an Xbox not crashing to keep things going. The plan was to host a LAN server via uncles PC, halo infinite has this feature and so does Halo 5. This way not everyone needs to bring their own system to be able to play. While playing on PC is preferable for a number of reasons, buying and setting up 8+ consoles as permanent stations is a lot easier than buying and building that many PCs. It’s clear that we are using consoles and not towers. A third room is a sort of ‘bring your own console’ room, there are eight televisions and you can hook up your console to them if you bring it. Two rooms down there each have 4 Xbox one consoles (a mix between the original Xbox one and Xbox One X/S consoles) already connected to televisions. The Setup This was all done at my uncles house, his basement is dedicated to this sort of get together. ![]() I want to make a list of issues we encounters so hopefully if you choose to play in this manner you might have some more luck! Not even maintaining teams was an easy task! While we had fun there were frustrations around every corner, from getting the game to boot to setting up a match. So yesterday (March 12, 2022) I went and helped host a LAN party centered around halo infinite, this is not the first LAN that I have helped out with playing with this group but it is the first playing with Halo Infinite. ![]()
