Playing the OG Halo on 2x Original Xbox's in my room as a teen, 2 Giant ass CRT TV's back to back playing 8 player Team Slayer, that was proper multiplayer gaming. This online shite will never remotely hold a candle to that multiplayer, could be 64v64, 128v128, billion v billion, Still not the same as the howling laughter inside the same room gunning the shit out of each other as 2 teams.

Damn right; online multiplayer can never match playing with a room full of friends.

I'm sad about the fact that the major issue back in the day was obviously the setup costs for a teenager to get all the equipment and a crossover cable to link the 2 systems even was a rarity at the time, but now that I've got my own place and a ton of spare cash I'm saddened that all I can do now to increase my enjoyment of multiplayer for the most part is either pay for bus fares to tournements or else buy a better headset for online play, rather than create that back to back setup again today but would be so much easier with LCD TV's being flat and costing less than half of what my 32" Phillips CRT did back in the day.
