Local Play

I wasn’t sure if this was posted before, but I have been having issues trying to play Halo custom games locally.

First: Selecting teams
When making teams in the game lobby everything is setup right, after getting in the game the teams get mixed up. I then noticed a bug having to do with the controller setup. Based on what button configuration the person is using, it will place them on a team that have the same button configuration. And if you change your button setup in the game, you can actually switch teams mid game.

Second: System link
I was unable to find a setting to play using system link. Is this feature no longer available or am I missing something?

Yes, LAN play is completely an after-thought sadly. I really hope they fix it. And no system link despite Halo 1 having this feature. I’m giving them 4 more weeks before I request a refund from MS directly.
