SaraKatherine09 · Oct 28, 2017

System linking

This is specifically for back ops 3 zombies. I'm trying to system link with my brother, we are both offline, we can find each other on the "find LAN game" but when we go to join each other, it is party is not joinable. Any solutions?

System linking

I thought system link was only for the original xbox. You sure you arent stuck in the year 2003 buddy?

Hi there,

Unless a specific game says it offers system link you won't be able to do so. I don't know many Xbox One games that even offer the LAN option.

I had a gaming lounge in my area once - it went out of business...

Woow, how are gaming lounges suppose to function without system link, there is a whole new industry of gamers grouping up and playing together in gaming lounges, regular tournaments, etc..., businesses like that thrive on local play. Without system link
those lounges will cease to grow and die out. Playing at home can get pretty lonely in the long run. So please bring system link back, trust me people will eventually find a way to make it pay off.

OK I think its all clear to me now.

People who belong to counties with large populations and good internet infrastructure don't care about off line gaming because they don't have to put up, day in and day out, with substandard connection speeds.

For those of us who don't have that luxury, seeking the level playing field of LAN gaming IS important. Removing this functionality is a step backwards.

Most people don't go out to the country to play games or even hook up a lot of tech. They can do that stuff at home.

I will add another note: When I (and my 20 fellow LANers) were deciding which of the next gen consoles were were going to purchase (XBox One or PS4) I can tell you straight up that we would have chosen whichever console had a system link type facility. As
it turns out, neither of them did. I find it curious that a company would decide to drop a feature that could potentially give them an edge over the competition in what is a fairly cut throat market. It's not like they had to plan and design it from scratch.

In the end I purchased an Xbox one because of some notion of loyalty. I don't feel that loyalty is being reciprocated.
