It was more the system link games than the campaign (even tho the campaign has a great storyline). I used to have 8 guy get togethers and play 4v4 Halo 1 at least 2 times a week for a year straight (obviously before I was married). The Multiplayer on Halo 1 is second to none.

That's kind of what I figured. Me, I like Half Life 2 deathmatch, although I haven't played in ages.

And I only like it at LAN parties--never managed to get into online deathmatching. Probably because I pretty much stink at it.

LAN parties is what made Halo 1 great, I prefer it over xbox live, however, being married now, xbox live is a great way to hookup with your buddies and not leave the house and come back at 1AM.

Heh... the couple of lan parties I've been to were weekend-long affairs 100 miles from my home. My wife was very nice about it, though. I have a feeling if I tried to leave her with The Boy for a weekend just so I could go gaming, it wouldn't go over quite as well.

heh, although I don't personally know what you mean, I know what you mean!

I liked the first Halo more just because I was better at it. I never got used to the weapons balance changes in Halo 2, and I've barely played Halo 3 (just campaign on Normal, no multiplayer). LAN parties with Halo were great. I would usually come out on top in the groups I played with. That all changed with Halo 2. Ha ha. I guess I wasn't dedicated enough to get used to it.

I still don't enjoy playing multiplayer matches over Xbox Live, even if it's only people I know. It's a different experience when you're all in the same house, sharing food and taking turns.

ok I admit, I have not added any of you guys to my friends list... Too lazy to write down the names and walk to my living room I guess... right now my girlfriend is playing the 360 so I guess I'll procrastinate a little longer

What does she play on it?

you know that you can log onto your xbox live account with your windows live ID at xbox.com, and add friends over the computer, and it will transfer to your 360

Let me just say that I am addicted to COD4, it is perhaps the best xlive multiplayer experience available for FPS. The RPG elements (gaining XP and leveling up, getting new weapons and perks, weapon attachments) is what drives the element on this game. It just adds a whole new reason to get more kills with certain weapons, work on getting better at other weapons to level up your weapon with new attachments.

VERY addictive!

mostly arcade games like sonic the hedgehog, carcasonnne, ect.

She has been playing a lot of the guitar hereo 3 demo though.

I think we might buy the game +guitar.
Not sure though because they just came out with that rockband game that comes with a guitar, drums, and a microphone, and you can play 3 player mode with all 3

Hutzal, I forgot about that feature through xbox.com! thanks for the reminder

I just added you, CV, and HAY
I'll have to look through this thread later and see if there were other gamertags listed
