  2. Lanparty.com Tempted by Xbox Multiplayer

Tue, 05/22/2001 - 02:38 by narcogen

Lanparty.com, which normally focuses on PC games (for obvious reasons) apparently stumbled across FanFestV completely by mistake because they were staying at the same hotel while visiting E3. Subsequently they felt obligated to comment on it.

And while they can be forgiven for not knowing about the FanFest-- maybe-- they can't be for referring to Halo's developers as Bungee :

Imagine my surprise riding the elevator up form the parking garage when I saw Bungee Fanfest V listed on the activities going on in MY hotel this evening. I knew I dropped $300 a night for some reason, but I thought it was just because of the mini-bar. Soon after checking in, I was confronted with three fellow gamers (all resembling the infamous Comic Book Guy from the Simpsons) asking where the Fanfest was. Dropping my bags in the room, I headed on down in hopes of getting a little piece of gaming goodness.

While many gamers are complaining about the Xbox's multiplayer limitations compared to a regular PC gaming rig, it seems Lanparty.com is intrigued by the idea of networkable consoles:

It seems that the rest of the gaming community has finally figured out what we LANners have known for years: networked gaming is just more fun. With support for up to 16 players, and Halo being a launch title for the Xbox, it's going to be quite tempting to supplement a PC LAN with a few Xboxes.

Not sure from that comment if they are under the impression that the Xbox will be able to play games head-to-head against PCs, because we haven't necessarily heard that will be the case. In fact, recent mention of the fact that Mac/PC Halo will have more multiplayer capabilities and more missions than Xbox Halo seem to indicate it won't be, but we'll have to wait and see.
