I am loving Halo campaign mode. Would love to do multiplayer, but a high speed connection costs over $70/month where I live. LAN battle seems to be a good option, but I've never been to a LAN party, so-o-o-o....

1.) How is the best way to connect with (meet) people wanting to do Halo LAN parties?

2.) Is there a way to search this forum's membership by location, to find prospects for such a party?

3.) I assume that LAN parties are not the exclusive domain of the Halo PC crowd, so what is the easiest way to connect hardware so that I can use my trusty Xbox and controller (instead of a keyboard).

Thanks for any help you can give.

EDIT: In case anyone from my area should read this, I live near Puyallup, WA; so anywhere in the South Seattle-Tacoma area is convenient. My e-mail address is my Bungie member name @hotmail.com (I give the address to you this way, so that I don't get mail from automated webcrawlers.)

1. ask your friends if they have an xbox and an ethernet cord

2. click on the members names to find out where they are from

3. its simple...there are tons of possiblities...direct connect the xboxes.....or set up a router in your home for halo use only.....or get xbc

Xbc should be your last choice it is simply not as good as LAN.
