If we do it right, we can get 4 Xboxes, 4 TVs, 4 rooms, 16 controllers, a switch, and enough cable to link them all otgether. The rooms would have to be next to eachother to minimize tripping and all, and it might be a bit complex, but everything would work.
Any volunteers?

Or everyone involved could all just get net access in their rooms and make a nice big lan game. I'm sure it all joins together into one big network...
That shit's $20 a night, you know.

Yup. I play in the dorms all the time, and they have four X-Boxes / TVs hooked up in four different rooms on the 2nd and 3rd Floor, there is cable running DOWN THE STAIRS.
Since D mentioned that net access is an extra $20 a night, and seemed adverse to that fact, jumping to spending an extra $70 / $80 a piece seems down-right logical.
It's really not that big of a deal to have cables all over the place (as long as we've been playing, we've never had a problem), and it's sure as hell cheaper than dropping the cash on wireless adapters.
All things said, I'm in. Someone should keep an inventory of what's coming, what we need exactly, and who's bringing what, so we're not missing anything by the end of it, and so we don't miss anything critical.
I'll be bringing my box, controllers and games. I've got one Controller S, two GSX controllers, and one Air Flo.
I don't have a hub or any extra ethernet cables since every place I've had to drag my box to has already had that stuff. Never needed to buy them.
Speaking of which, what do you guys prefer for controllers? I thought the old 'Grande' was all right, the 'S' was an improvement...but ended up playing Halo 2 mostly with the Pelican / GameStop 'GSX' controller, which is basically a Controller S with black and white buttons on top.
Of course, after I got an Air Flo, I refuse to play with anything else.

Another thing that I would like to see.... would anyone be interested in some Splinter Cell: Chaos Theory multi player action?

I'm going to just most likely buy a 4-port switch and get some lengths of CAT5.
I've got some extra cables I can probably get a hold of, do we want 50 ft to be safe and excessive or will 25 ft suffice?

I just don't know the layout and size of the hotel, or how far away the rooms are spaced, how close the TVs are to the door, etc.
Unless we have someone bringing / donating a bunch of wireless equipment, that'd actually be pretty useful information.
Anyone who is really serious on this should send me an email (sagaciouz@hotmail.com) so we can set this up. We'll have one group of 4 girls for sure, and another possible 4...so we'd make up half the players already.

Well, that depends...are you hot?
I kid, I kid.
Besides, you can't score with chicks after you've been killing them. Well, you can, but society frowns on it.
Honestly, I doubt we'll have a shortage of Halo PLAYERS, we just need to make sure we have enough games / X-Boxes going to accomodate. Even a 'giant LAN' in Halo is only sixteen people.
How many boxes do we have coming at this point? An inventory would help, to make sure we have enough junk.
Tobi - What is 'everything' you need? And what are you bringing?
...I make the same suggestion twice. heh.
Haha... [url]http:///www.pmsclan.com[/url]
Truth be told, it's more impressive IF you can kill us.
We're bringing atleast one XBOX per two people, E cables, and a router, and more then likely another TV. I grazed the website for the hotel, but I'm positive they mentioned internet access, right?
A 'giant lan' can be cross sectioned. You don't have to play with the same 16 people in the hotel...you could make a mini-tournament IN the hotel using the online box's one night. That'd be pretty fun...

You don't have much to worry about, I'm not very good.
But the answer is apparently 'yes'. Kudos on being attractive.
Whether or not it will work for our purposes is kind of yet to be determined, as mentioned by tmonkey...
My cell phone is uhh...well, it's shut off right now. Can anyone call the hotel and find out information regarding their internet? The current staff might not know anything personally, but they might be able to tell us someone else we could contact as well.
Not being familiar with LAN set-ups, I don't understand what you mean by 'cross-sectioned'. I'm used to the usual bunch-o'-boxes n' cords and four people crammed around a TV set-up.
Uhh...basicly all I meant is that we don't have to be connected with the same 4 box's (16 ppl) all night. I was sort of hoping something could be organized that could include anyone who was interested in participating in a hotel LAN competition... Best group of four out of 16 moves into the winners of the other four, etc. It'd just be sort of interesting.

I'm just down for some halo 2, maybe a little challenge from people in real life as opposed to over XBL. That way even if you win the trash talking is still somewhat honorable(if that's possible).
Also I'd like to challenge a couple people to 1v1 later on, slayer duels are starting to grow on me :-)
So you might want to be bringing TV's from outside the hotel if you're serious about this.
