Halo AE custom online game setup

Ive always been a diehard halo ce fan and loved playing rockets only on various maps. I got Ae thinking id now be able to play the same custom games (rockets on hang em high no radars for example) on live. Well for the life of me i cant figure out how to do this if its even possible.

I can go into cusom game and set up my map with weapons i want but i can only set it to friends and recent players. How do i set up a custom game, wait ib lobby for people to join, and then play the game?

I just now randomly joined a game which had snipers on hang em high. If thats possible then im sure theres some way to set up rockets too.

And im now a casual xbox player and dont have any friends on live so the friends only option doesnt work for me.

your living on a pipe dream man, dedicated servers with a server browser would be absolutely killer. as for now you can only play customs games with people on your friends list or their friends friends lists…

I feel you on the rockets tho man, some of my favorite CE gametypes were rockets on prisoner, rocket CTF on hangem high, loved that -Yoink-

Uhh…

Are you mixing up the Xbox and PC? Halo 1 for Xbox doesn’t have game browsers or online competitive. Anniversary has multiplayer in Reach but not the actual engine for the campaign.
