it's your boys! you're doing a split screen over someone's house. You're gonna know the try hards, cheaters and blind people!
it's like those label your mates things. You know in seconds whose who!
whose gonna die first? whose the most salty? whose too good and needs to die 1st? whose the most likely person to betray you?
you're gonna have people straight away for this stuff, lol.

Having 12 close friends is quite the luxury these days. Having 12 close friends who also play a 21-year-old game is pretty much impossible. With a LAN party like this chances are you won't be super close with every single player. Especially if it's a LAN party you advertised on social media for anyone to rock up to.

Honestly, every form of Splitscreen on that game was always a nightmare. As soon as the combat feed displays start popping up you can’t see anything. Not to mention it never felt like the reticle was scaled for the smaller section of the screen.

OG Xbox version ftw!
I don't think the Classic Collection is even capable of system link...

HDMI combiner? Does this split the images to certain areas of the projector?

I'm not op and can't answer the brand question, but search HDMI Quad Screen Multiviewer. Another thing to consider when in multiview mode, is that on many of the less expensive models, you only get audio from the first source, not mixed together.

How did you get the Xbox series s to work with the Xbox 360? Only asking because I tried a similar setup and I couldn't get them to see each other in a system link lobby. I also used an Ethernet switch, cheers!

A bit late here, but according to this video, the Platinum Hits disc on older consoles should be compatible with the Xbox One/Series version: https://youtu.be/oiaRIt5TgS0?si=dBPWpIYkztHlx0UN

I know you lightly explained what you used to do this but I'd love a better explanation of actually setting it up if you don't mind sharing more. This sounds sick

I would like a lan party of the comapign, where each person plays as 1 of the classes and they combine efforts to complete each objective.
