just realized you were refering to an xbox system link session as a lan party, that is treason man.
How is it done anyways? ( cause I have no idea ) Something like wwo xboxes, two televisions and split screen on both so 4 people can play at the same time?
Its funny I know some people who own a 360, siblings, cousins, friends, work colleagues and others , but nobody of them ever did system link. Maybe its just not so popular here.
When i remember it right, you can connect 4 xboxes on 4 televisions, each with split screen, so 16 people could game Halo together.
It was not easy to find a place with enough space for even 10 people, and to bring televisions, mostly small ones which were shitty enough for even one person to play on it.
I remember when halo 2 came out, to play online (xbox live) you needed a credit card, at this time most people I knew didn't had one. Luckily the father of one of my best friends had one, and he aloud me to use it. This friend was also, just like me, finished with school and without a job yet, and we were practically neighbors, about 500 meters in a straight line, and in the middle of this line was a gas station and a playground.
We used almost every day to play Halo2 online for a few hours (everyone at his home), later we met in the gas station to buy beer, food an cigarettes, sat in the playground for a few hours to talk shit and also smoked weed sometimes, then we went back home to play Halo 2 again, met later again in the playground, went home to play a final round and went to sleep.
At this time, we found it awesome, but when I look nowadays, it was a fucking waste of time
