The War will wage forever; though with it's fury comes a peace that you will never know here.
That's an excellent idea, smiley. Go for it!
Besides, I'm sure that many of us would LOVE to try to get to go to the Fanfest and stuff like that, but, like smiley said, it's limited. Xbox LIVE is a great chance to meet new people, although I had a conversation at a local gamestore with some guy who shows up for tournaments we have. I asked him about LANs and Xbox LIVE, and he said something interesting:
"LIVE is great, but if there's one problem with it, it's communication. Sure, you can get those nifty headsets, but it just doesnt have the same atmosphere as a LAN. LIVE is nice for meeting new people, and joining into 16-player games, but LANs are like a mini-community of friends, who love to play Halo, and they communicate with eachother while fragging is going on. LIVE just doesnt have that air of comradeship amongst the players that LANs do."
All in all, he's right. If people start scheduling LANs, they could draw members out of their parents' basements and into a world of fun and friendship amongst fellow members of the Bungie Community!
Sadly, many people are skeptical about meeting others, fearing that 'bad stuff' could happen. It's kinda odd when someone you only know from online asks you to come to their house to play Halo...
..But, for people who feel that skepticism (I've felt it sometimes, myself), they could always just turn on their Xbox and play on LIVE for a while. That way, everyone wins!
Aye, that's it. Hope that felt inspirational to you all!
