Games for Windows LiveLessNess. A complete Games For Windows - LIVE (GFWL) rewrite.
Long story short, this program/library enables LAN and ONLINE play for Halo 2. Note that currently the LIVE and NETWORK menus both work over LAN and work over the internet depending on what you have put in the Broadcast Address. Peer to Peer map downloading works too on LIVE. At the main menu click on GUIDE to open the XLLN window where you can use it to change your randomly generated name (be sure to logout then back in again with that name for it to apply).
Install Instructions
Put all files into the install directory of Halo 2.
So for:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Games\Halo 2\halo2.exe
The files need to exist at:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Games\Halo 2\xlive.dll
C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Games\Halo 2\XLiveLessNess\modules\xlln-halo-2.dll
C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Games\Halo 2\XLiveLessNess\modules\xlln-halo-2-cartographer.dll
Project Cartographer currently is not compatible with this as it is a different rewrite of xlive.dll (you will need to overwrite xlive.dll). So you will NOT (yet) be able to play Zombies / GunGame / Grave Robber / War Economy / H2X over LAN.
