System Link (more than 2 Xboxes)

Has anyone ever played Halo with more than two Xboxes and
if so, can you tell me how you linked the consoles? I know
it requires a hub and ethernet cables, but is plugging the
cables into the hub all you have to do? Thanks

Just get a regular 4 port or more hub. Plug a standard ethernet (not
cross over) into each xbox then plug them into the hub. The only thing
to watch out for is if your hub has an uplink button (also called a
DIV/DIVX or something like that). If you have this pressed in the last
port (e.g. on an 8 port hub, port number 8) acts as a cross over.
Leave the button in an unpressed (or out) state.

Errm thats it really. Have fun

Try the following:

Paranoid : 1 player red, with an xbox to themself, preferably isolated
form the others ,e.g. another room
All other players blue (or visa versa)
No sheilds, health 100%, no radar, no friendly indicators,
Team Slayer Pro
Best to play on sidewinder with or without vehicles. Use
standard weapon sets.

You'll be supprised how easy it is for the red player,
even with 8 or more on blue.
