Anyways, Maraxus6's quote from the gamestore worker is absolutely true. Xbox Live is fun, and convenient, but it is far from a LAN experience! Actually being there with other Halo fans is an awesome thing! Every one eating food, chatting about the latest game news, insulting each others moms to no end... it's beautiful! If you have not experienced a LAN, but have instead relied only on Xbox Live, you are missing out!
Did I say Gamestore worker? If so, I'd like to clarify that it was a guy who goes to the gamestore. Aside from that, I thought that he was right as well. We had a great conversation about it during the LAN we were playing at, but then I got fragged by a noob with an assault rifle, so it got cut short.
And yes, you guys are missing out if you dont come to LANs! Maybe it's just easier for me, since I've been going to the store for about 3 years now. Anyway, they really are a great place to be at. Yes, we usually do insult eachothers moms, but that's all in good fun. Try talking with other Bnet members in your area. That might help get LANs organized. Just bring LOTS of food, since they can go on for a while. Try being prepared to set aside 5-6 hours of your time for playing Halo at a LAN, if it's gonna be long. The only bad times are when I hear: 'Damn you Maraxus!'. God, that gets on my nerves SOOO much.
Still, if you cant get to LANs, then by all means, use Xbox Live. As I said before, it's roughly the same thing without the atmosphere of swearing, laughing, and insulting of moms.
