– After much debate, the extremely small amount of spread for the pistol and no scoped sniper rifle have been removed. This xbe will be displayed as 'Halo 1: NHE Server' in the Games section of your dashboard and should only be run on the host box. During gameplay the score is automatically shown so it can be capped and/or streamed. Map geometry and player models have been removed to improve the performance of the host xbox. – A separate xbe has been added for use with NHE mode enabled gametypes.

All power ups and weapons spawn every 30 seconds which is ideal for practicing nade tricks. – The Race gametype has been replaced with the Practice Mode gametype. HOW DOES IT WORK?Īt the start of a Neutral Host Edition game the player on the host Xbox will instantly teleport to a spot above the map so he does not affect spawns. Use the host Xbox to choose the map and game type. Then run Halo 1: NHE on the other two join Xboxes and join the system link game. Run Halo 1: NHE (Server) on the host Xbox and start a system link game. Note that regular on/off gameplay with two Xboxes and a crossover is also possible with NHE. A third TV for the host Xbox is recommended but not required as it can be connected to a second input on one of the TVs already in use. Neutral Host Edition requires three modded Xboxes (each with NHE loaded), one Ethernet switch (hub), and three patch cables (crossover cables will not work with a switch). Toggles have been implemented into the game to allow for on/off host games to be played alongside with all of the other features NHE has to offer. This allows for players on two separate Xboxes to play against each other without one Xbox having the advantage of being on host (i.e., both Xboxes are essentially playing on a dedicated server). Halo 1: NHE (Neutral Host Edition) is a modded version of Halo CE that allows for a dedicated Xbox to host games between two joining Xboxes on LAN.
