Me and my boys throw LAN parties on average once or twice a month and we'll play anything from regular slayer and team slayer to the wild invisible no shields, and unlimited grenades type games all without indicators or radar. Its all good fun and we'll play from about 8pm-6 or 7am usually on a weekend. We just use one of our apartments unless we can find an open house with family out of town (those are the best). But the most fun I had recently was at an EB Games tournament here in Chicago. It was fun for my and my brother to whoop on complete strangers that are all talk and soooo cocky. I recomend it to anyone. The set-up was weak, 2 systems 2 screens, 4 people per screen right next to each other. Playing free-for-all it was fun to whomp on strangers but by the time the Finals came around everybody would just gangbang us and then fight each other. That kind of made me mad, but they said it was the only way to win. I guess they're right but thats no fun. Anyways actual organized open to the public tournaments are a lot of fun and you should all try it out just to silence all those people out there who think they are the best who really arent even descent, Its the best feeling in the world, I swear haha
