Oooh, this is a tough one. Me and my friends would always play 8 player Halo LAN parties like every month or so, and I've had so many good memories, so I'll narrow it down into two.
1/ It was weird, we had a kill in order slayer match on Sidewinder, but other than that, normal settings, all vehicles, and yadda yadda yadda, ya usual stuff. Well, kill in order (in the odd chance u've never played it) is funny in a strange way. 2 of the worst players were leading myself (i regard myself as one of the best in my friends, there are a few) was third. One of these best players, took 30 mins to get a first point, as he could simply not find his target. However, the funniest moment came when one of the worst players (his name was Rylett) had a tactic of hiding the whole game, and running away from everybody, as it was his way of living, and over time, he managed to accumulate ALL of the 7 peoples targets, and thus we dubbed him "the most wanted man alive" and it took us like 5 minutes for sumbody to finaly kill him, and then the carnage continued :P
2/ Now, this is very very weird aswell. at one of our LAN parties, one of my big headed friends (he's so unbelievably cocky, you wudn't believe it) was so cocky during one match, the next match we set it up as 7 vs 1, but as the advantage was in our favour, he set the rules. He chose:
Boarding Action
All Invisible
No Shields
50% health
Weapons : Sniper Rifles
Starting weapons : Plasma Pistol and Assult Rifle.
First to 50
Now, you might think that we should whoop him, but as he had his entirely own screen, and with everybody invisible, he was able to snipe sum careless person, and move onwards. After it became 15 - 0, we decided to change tactics and we all grouped together, in a small room on level 3, blue side, you know the one, it's got a ladder inside going upwards, and a small rectangle opening in the wall as well for sniping, with two snipers on the doorway with 1 bodyguard to try and get him. Well, we managed to make the score 15 - 7 now, and were getting pleased at this new tactic, and when one of my friends mistook the left trigger for the crouch button. This one frag grenade killed all 7 of us, and set the score to 15 - 0. The next tactic resolved in having 6 people on one floor usingsniper rifle, and getting sumbody to run around firing the plasma pistol and other guns, until our enemy would snipe him, and then us 7 would snipe him, which, although would give him 1 kill for every one of our kills, was certainly a lot better than losing 15 - 0.
Sorry if I've taken far too long, but this is just 2 of my favourite moments ever (and that's out of a lot of them) in my 3rd favourite game ever, (the first is Halo 2 ;-) adn the 2nd Ocarina of Time)
