XBOX or PC?
PC would be fairly easy. XBOX is impossible at this point unless you have everyone in the same dorm but even then it might not be possible. Leatherwood has a single closet with 18 24-port switches but depending on how they’re configured you may be limited to a same-wing or a same-floor type deal when it comes to connecting to locally hosted games. I can check it out for you sometime this week if you’d like.
Of course, if you’re talking about piling everyone into a lobby somewhere that’d be much easier to deal with. Leatherwood has a fairly large lobby, as does Scott, Reynolds, and Buchannan. I’d be sweet if we could get the large gameroom in Buchannan but since it’s all-girls now that’s probably not going to happen.

Xbox is not impossible. XBConnect. Won’t have to worry about the system link issue either. Just make sure you have your xbox and PC hooked up at the same time. That’s about the only complication. http://www.xbconnect.com Easy to install, setup and use. It works, I know it does. And you can play from the comfort of your own room. That’s why I included XBC ID’s to the sticky in the Halo subforum.
So to everyone that wants to play zee Halo 1, go to http://www.xbconnect.com and download XBC and set it up. Post your ID into the aforementioned thread – Official Xbox Live Gamertag and XBC ID List. Then from there we’ll figure out when to play.
Didn’t know MS allowed third party matchmaking. If that’s the case then there won’t be any problems so long as IT doesn’t find the ports it uses and block them too.
I’m pretty sure all it is is making virtual LANs across internet connections. MS doesn’t have the kinda power to prevent that.
Do I have to have a functioning Live account to do that? Do I have to have a PC to do that? (My live account is suspended because I couldnt pay for it, and I only have a macintosh.)
I might have to share a screen with someone if they dont mind…. Dont have a live account or halo CE.
