Subject: LAN System Link question: Max number of consoles in play

Marathon, Marathon: Durandal, Marathon: Infinity, Halo: CE, Halo 2, Halo3, Halo 3: ODST, Halo: Reach Beta, Halo Reach. Any questions?

I've hosted two LAN parties over the summer, both times we had only 4 xboxes connected and I was wondering if anyone knew how many xboxes you can system link playing Halo: CE. I've played games on XBC that have had clearly more that 4 xboxes in play, but I was just wondering if that is the same thing for regular LAN system link. I ask this because only 4 xboxes show up on the system link dashboard thing.

ok thanks.

uh also we've just been using a router with 4 ports anyone have a suggestion for a good 4 port router?

No, you cannot connect more than 4 Xbox's via system link. Since Xbox Connect uses system link, only 4 Xbox's can be connected on Xbox Connect also.

I've seen way more than 4 people (consoles) in an xbc halo 2 lobby. Like ten players.

Do you know this as a fact? have you personally attempted this?
