Hey all,
I've established short names for our Halo servers so you can all connect to them quicker and easier through direct IP address. This is especially useful if you're looking to join a server quickly without needing to search the GameSpy Halo lobby.
Instead of typing in the IP address (which can always be hard to remember), you can type in #.armoredsaintsofhalo.com now!
Example, to connect to server #3 Death Island you would type this into Halo's Direct IP:
3.armoredsaintsofhalo.com:2302
3 is the server identifier, armoredsaintsofhalo.com is our domain, and 2302 is the port number the Halo server is broadcasting on.
This way if/when we change server IP's, you no longer need to remember IP addresses all over again. The short names will always forward you to the our Halo server with that identifier!
Cheers,
-Jack
