8 way Halo LAN partys FTW!

LAN parties are amazing. One word: Counter-Strike (ok that’s 2 words).
BTW, Halo isn’t a LAN party. It’s not PC gaming.
Umm… what?
LAN = Local Area Network.
Xbox consoles use TCP/IP networking to communicate for local multiplayer1. By definition, that makes it a LAN. We do it at a party.
LAN + Party = LAN Party
Not to mention that Halo does indeed have a PC version.
+Geek Points.
1: I have noticed something strange though. When I connect my laptop to our Xbox network (X-Net if you will) and sniff the traffic, all of the Xboxes appear to use the IP address 0.0.0.0 (which doesn’t exist and isn’t routable - except by some dark Microsoft magic). Strange? Strange.
