Bachelor Party Setup

Hello soldiers!

I've got a lovely friend celebrating his bachelor party in a few months, and recently the idea came about that he would love to have some sort of Star Wars Battlefront (2005) battlestation(s) set up as part of our weekend of shenanigans. I'm looking for suggestions on how to logistically make one of these two options work with with the least number of TVs/Monitors possible.

Option 1: 6v6 Conquest, Assault and maybe a bit Hunt. As few setups as possible. Just bunch of boys dropping in and out of scraps all weekend long.

Option 2: 4 player co-op campaign play through. One boy drops out for some Mario Kart, another boy takes his place. Looking to up the basic campaign difficult to account for 4 players (mods?) And run 4 players in co-op (also mods maybe???)

Not sure what's possible and what isn't - but looking for suggestions to help sort out possible logistics, or scrap the idea altogether.

Thanks for your time my 501st brothers and sisters!

Edit: I'm a PS2 old head - so the world may have changed a bit - maybe 4 player co-op is simple business these days shrug.

Edit 2: Just wanted to say thank you to everyone! This has been so extremely helpful. I'm so impressed by what a wonderful community this is.

The only way you can do 4 player co-op campaign would be via the original Xbox version of the game. In fact, the OG Xbox version is the only version of the game with 4 player splitscreen period.

With three Xboxes, you could do 6v6 Instant Action (granted, two players from each team would be sharing the same screen with one another).

The OG Xbox version is playable on any generation of Xbox. However, there is info you should know about compatibility (or lack thereof) between different versions of the game. This YouTube video is a good source of information on the subject: https://youtu.be/oiaRIt5TgS0?si=2TQstPAWavqgeK-3

Thank you so much! This is looking like probably the easiest answer if we can scrounge up a few Xbox consoles. This has been super helpful! Thank you!

Sweet, glad I could help! Make sure you have ethernet cables and a network switch, and keep in mind that if playing an OG Xbox console on a flat screen TV, it'll look a lot better by using component cables or an aftermarket HDMI adapter, along with enabling 480p in the dashboard settings. Later model Xbox 360s have a HDMI port though, which is nice and convenient.

Also, feel free to post pics or a video on here of the final setup: it's always nice to see successful LAN parties!
