When I first arrived at college in 2004, I loved Halo, but I didn’t know how other people felt about it. I soon found out and quickly became part of a multi-floor, multi-room, every-day, system linked Halo party. We connected our Xboxs through the dorm’s Ethernet network; four rooms on different floors, each playing split-screen. We used conference call on the dorm room phones so our teams could yell at each other. It’s the most fun I’ve ever had playing Halo, the most fun I’ve ever had playing multiplayer, the most fun playing period.
