I'm sure I'm not the only person who ever went to one of these. 16 player games just ruled. I used to work at a place that had 8 player Halo set up in the break room. That's where I first really played Halo, and also was really the main place I played it. We all got insanely good and the best part was it didn't really count as wasting time because what else were we going to do on break, watch TV? It was awesome, and most days we'd have a good hour during lunch to go 4 on 4, and time for at least 3 games during our break later in the day. Good times.
Actually a local GameStop had a massive Halo tournament last November 8th (04) when Halo 2 was about to come out at midnight. It started at like 8, and went until midnight. It was pretty intense. I thought I was good going in, but I was no match for the high schoolers who I swear must have been skipping school to be as good as they were... and that wouldn't surprise me either. There's something humbling about getting totally wasted by a 13 year old, but oh well. That same kid beat all of my friends from work too, who were better than I was to begin with. I wasn't expecting to win the tournament, I just figured it would be fun to try. I didn't want to win that 1:8 scale Master Chief collectible plastic stand-up that's probably worth a ton by now anyway.... Actually I did. It was the Halo 2 collectors edition that I didn't care about winning as much. After all, $50 would get me that anyway at midnight.
Anyway, enough about my Halo playing days. Who else got into the LAN experience with the original Halo?
