I'll play LIVE more, but lan will be more fun. LAN parties are just really hard to set up, especially during the school year.

Probably Xbox Live, because people around me dont have alot of xbox's and people that do only have like 2 controllers, the biggest lan party I ve had was a 3v3.

yah, I hope i have Live by nov. 8, but lan can be funner=just you and friends no -blam!-s(your out there, spamming and killing teamates), and I prefer lan over live(my buddy has live and I know it can be less fun), but with Halo 2 i'm sure live will be really close to lan fun/or equal fun, so I hope I'll play equal live and lan (more live cuz i'd play every night, forget Senoir year, Halo 2 will be here, school is easy anyway=just have to know how to play THAT game.).

only problem with that (fixed in halo 2), is the smaller screen, I alway (usually) have half a screen (my xbox, my rules).

guy's house we play at has big screens, so screensize isn't a problam. either that, or we go to Velocity Games, a local place whose sole business is letting u play games there. they have big screens there, so no problem.

I will play both. Live for my clan(s) and LAN with my friends that have been playing LANs with me for a year.

I have one coming up this Saturday night.

I got one tomorrow, at least 10 guys maybe 12, gonna be cool, and of couse they will all be pissed at me for most kills (even if it's CTF and not SLAYER), I just love them yelling across the hall, "Frank, you suck man", "FRAAAAAAAANK", and sometime to yell "POW" and then you kill them, that's fun too, but yah, Live will be totally cooler on Halo 2, so I'll probably like that more for its convinience over lan parties (I don't care though, If i have to carry my 27' T.V. and XBOX everywhere, so be it).

Well, because all of my firends suck and are easily killed, the one I'm having is just 2 on 2 CTF, and perhaps Slayer.

this is such a dumb question. of course anybody that has live will play live 20 times more because its much more convinient then setting a lan up. if you dont have xbox live ull play more on lan cause you cant play on live. simple as that

That's true. But there's nothing like playing with your best friends, and gloating after a tough CTF win, or Slayer match.

but now, if all your friends have live (or like 4), you can have a closed live game with them, and then It would be more convenient=best of both worlds. (cool, friends in 4 separate houses, all palying the same closed game.)

As of now, none of my friends have XBL. When I say a clan from my area, I mean people that live near me, not necessarily my friends. Though, I really want them to get XBL, so I don't have to beat them in Halo PC.

EDIT: Spelling error.
