I am not an expert but I am not aware of any legal way to do that...and legal modifications of the game are all we will discuss here anyways.  If there is something within the terms of use that can be discussed here feel free to do so.

Sorry there is no way you can play in the same server with the one CD Key. Nemesis, Hydra and I are all brothers and we all had to dish out for our own copies! You should be able to find Halo on special somewhere. :)

It's been too long, but ... can't you run multiple copies on a LAN server and play multiplayer "off the 'Net?"

I seem to recall being able to do this, but then, I'm not sure whether we had multiple CD keys in all such cases or not....  ::)

Of course, if you truly ARE looking to play multiplayer on line, nope.  Ya gotta have a CD key per player....

Ya, I'm pretty sure that was how I managed to have labs full of Halo PCs when I used to teach Technology classes....

This is awesome, because MY (former) technology teacher (who still teaches) used to let us play halo during class. It was awesome. Halo and COD2. Good times :)
