I never got the big deal about local multiplayer so I don't really understand this.

Local Multiplayer was huge when broadband wasn't readilly available.

That's not the case anymore.

You took the example of Halo.
Well don't the majority of Halo3 MP games happen online these days ?( isn't it the most played online game on Live every week ?).
Not like it is that hard to get an online game going with buddies these days, and what's the difference between that and a LAN game ???

 

Yes it does, I know but believe it or not there are people that still plays their older Halos and many still play locally. That's why MS didn't took it off. Good games never get old, remember.

What I was saying is that many games that do not support local multiplayers allow you to simulate it seamlessly online.

It's very easy these days to create a game that only your buddies can join online and the progress in broadband make it as good as LAN games were 5-10 years ago....( except you can actually decide to let others join or not if you and your buddies think you want more ppls into the game)

So LAN games is really a feature of the past....
