Game Forum / Action Games / Halo/Halo 2 / February 2005Anyone ever consider getting together with complete strangers to play Halo/Halo2 together? ;)
Just curious but do people ever get together with others and play system link matches with Halo? I know there is always xbox live but system link matches are much faster and for people with crappy ISPs and crappy uploads, we're limited by the number of people we can play with. On the Halo 2 bonus disk, there's one segment where they show complete strangers getting together to play a huge 4 xbox tournament. It looked like fun. If u guys do, then how do u go about doing it? Meeting in chat rooms? Some sort of Halo club? Any help or tips would be appreciated. :D On 2/7/2005 8:19 PM rougher brightened our day with: >Just curious but do people ever get together with others and play >system link matches with Halo?

EBGames for example, the "GameCrazy" shop that's in Hollywood Video just had a Halo 2 tournament up the street from me.

The lag is a bit more rough w/ those two programs... > Just curious but do people ever get together with others and play > system link matches with Halo?

It was great every person had a TV of their own. Occasionally an extra person would drop by and those with the bigger tv's would have to share. We played for 10 + hours > Just curious but do people ever get together with others and play > system link matches with Halo?

We played a wide range of gametypes and tried to keep the skill level fairly even. > that sounds awesome dude. most of my friends don't play halo or halo 2 > that well so even if we do get together, the matches are pretty [quoted text clipped - 20 lines] >>> >>> :D We always start out with a few practice rounds and then when everyone is warmed up we play a game of slayer for teams. When the slayer game is over all the odds go on one team and the evens go on the other team. If there is an odd number of people then the person that came in last goes with the even side to make up for the "odds" having the #1 player. It usually works out pretty well and splits up the talent. > that sounds awesome dude. most of my friends don't play halo or halo 2 > that well so even if we do get together, the matches are pretty [quoted text clipped - 18 lines] > >> > >> :D |
