Put some cookies and potatoe chips out for your friends. You'll be the best Lan party host ever!

Don't forget drinks, people get mighty thirsty fragging eachother all night. And make sure you have big enough t.v's, cause playing split screen on a 13 inch tv sucks.

I've been to a lot of xbox lans, the most important things is make sure you have EVERYTHING ahead of time...tvs, xboxs, enough controllers, enough Halo copies, and room/outlets to put them all in. I hate when its a big struggle getting all our stuff set up when we should be playing. People hate having to drive around to get extra gear. Also, different teams in different rooms helps a lot too. We like having two tvs next to each other in two seperate rooms for the ultimate stategies. Most people also get over hyper about team fairness, the best is to match up players skillwise and seperate them. Also, don't play basic gametypes like CTF BG all night long, switch it up with some random, yet fun gametypes (i like snipers no shields...one shot kills, shotguns no shields, melee 50% health games will give you one hit kills, and who could forget good old king of the hill at wizard with needlers.)

ps - dont forget a lot of Mountain Dew either...

im president of a video game club at school and we have a T1 network so the hell with different rooms how about different buildings but if this is at your house keep the big t.v.s on your team and stick the 13 in on the other team plus its also a good idea to use team work (go figure) because its not very fun to be ambushed all by yourself by a loaded warthog a tank and a couple of ghosts

Mark - like you, I am the president of my school's "Entertainment Media Club" (coined it myself). Once, twice a week we hold meets and play games, watch movies, etc., but most often we have HALO LAN parties after school and piss off the principal with our noise and antics.

Either way, SNACKS and DRINKS are a must. Plus, try and structure teams based on skill levels of your friends - we do it during lunch every day we have a Halo meet. Draw up teams, try to put people of equal skillz together, and it'll prove MOST worth while.

We also use the school's beefy LCD projector screen. 10 square feet of HALO goodness...GAME ON!!!!!

If you want to win, you should do this:
You need to give all your friends small tv's, and tell them that someone else brought them and insisted you use them.
It never hurts to put a little booze in the refreshments, or some laxative.
If you want friends by the end:
Make sure they all have a good seat, it's no fun sitting on a sofa that makes you look like a living hairball
Set up before, if possible
more later, got to go

Try to put the tvs so they are close together this opposite teams cant look at opposite screens.
