    System Link (Lan)

    I'm having problems linking my original Xbox with my neighbors so we can play old school halo (boredom is painful, haha). Any assistance would be appreciated.

    System-Link & the future of LANs

    Hey everyone, hope all is well!

    I own two Xbox 360's and regularly system-link with my brother. To me system-link (LAN) has been the most enjoyable aspect of my gaming experience. I have been gaming for about 10-15 years now, and enjoy both online as well as local play. I try and get friends
    together whenever time permits and host system-link games which range from 6-16 people. To me, it's not about the game, it's about the experiences had with friends while playing; something best offered in a LAN setting.

    My question to you all is: Where do you see the future of system-link (LAN) gaming? Next gen consoles with/without system-link?

    I ask this because I see an increasingly large number of titles coming out without system-link options, thus "forcing" or limiting the user experience to online (or local screen play)

    I have had Xbox Live since it came out and it is a wonderful service. Really, I enjoy it. However, I want to have the option to host LAN parties and play with others without sharing a small screen. I want to know what the Xbox community thinks about System-link
    features.

    Do you want to see more titles with system-link options? or do you think system-link is outdated and online-only multiplayer is the future for those wanting more than 4 player games?

    Cheers!

    I imagine it resembles a bit of a faff to people who haven't come from that era of lan parties and the like.

    Thanks to all who have replied. I am going to host a Halo 3 LAN (System-link) tomorrow. Hope it will be as good as memory serves.

    Cheers!

    Xbox one LAN(System linking)

    The two Xbox One games were Black ops 4 and Gears of war 4. Another xbox 360 game I tried was Gears of war 3. The system link option was availiable but the two consoles couldnt find each other so we couldnt join each others game.

    I never use it, but wish they wouldn't get rid of it for those of you that do. Back in the day I used to go to Halo LAN parties and they were awesome. Now my friends and I just jump online if we want to play.

    Its being phased out that is for sure.Lanning/system linking is very late 90's and now since everything is mostly wireless I suspect this feature will be all but gone in another ten years.
