Hey Members/Players Of Halo 2 PC, UF ShadowTeddy here.
I am pleased to present the Project Cartographer 0.2.1.1a Public Beta. This is a sneak preview into what we're offering in the next update!
This update to Project Cartographer will not be publicly rolled out i.e you won't be able to update from the launcher; you have to manually download it.
(Files/links will be hidden for to protect against build leaks (People claiming this to be a stable release etc.), Sign into this forum with an account to view the full content in this post)
Here's a quick overview of what 0.2.1.1a offers:
Installation of 0.2.1.1a is pretty easy, all you need to do is download the zip folder and extract all the contents to C:/Program Files (x86)/Microsoft Games/Halo 2/ or C:/Program Files/Microsoft Games/Halo 2 if your on a 32 bit OS.
If you have installed Halo 2 to a custom directory, place the files in the main dir of where halo 2 is installed (It should be where Halo2.exe is located)
Using 0.2.1.1a does mean that you cannot use the launcher anymore (as the launcher will keep attempting to download the stable release) so make a shortcut of Halo2.exe with Administrator privileges.
By default, Voice chat is disabled. In order to enable it you need to modify the Xlive.ini and add the line 'voice_chat = 1'.
You will also need to make your desired microphone the default communication device so that you'll be able to fully use the voice chat functionalities
A few things should be noted:

A few things should be noted:
- This hasn't been tested on Linux/WINE configs of Halo 2 PC. So if it breaks, please inform us. (This thread will be open to bug reports/issues if anyone is having them)
- If you want to stay on the public release and wait for the update to officially drop/find that the game is buggier with 0.2.1.1a then by all means revert back to the stable release of Project Cartographer (Use the Launcher + Update/Force update to go back to stable)
