I've never held a Halo LAN party. But I've bin to loads because my mate has great facilities. Big TVs, nearby friend with an XBOX, copy of Halo and 8 controllers. I made a team match with every type of game. (Slayer, CTF, Oddball, King of the Hill and Race). They have good options and selections and everyone loves the matches. For [b] ALL [/b] games we always use the same amount of players (4 vs 4). 1 team per XBOX and each team in a room. We play one game of each type at every LAN party. Each game type match is played on the same map (for example, CTF is always on Sidewinder and Oddball is always on Hang 'em High). So all together we play 5 games. For these 5 games we record the amounts of deaths and kills. We've had 10 LAN parties so now we have a pretty solid score board. We don't just play 5 games per party, we play loads more. We only record those 5 custom matches so we can see who's the best at the SAME game.
