I like to have 10-15 people over every few months for an xbox lan party. We played Reach last time and loved it, but I'm looking to spice it up a little. What game would you recommend that 10+ people can play including people on a remote xbox via live? The typical setup is 6-10 people in my house on 3 xboxes and a few people from other states connected via live, which means the game would need to support this configuration.

Thanks for any advice you can offer.
 
I hope you like Halo because it's your only option. Console developers have been waging war on split screen for a while now and the Halo games are the only ones I know of that allow up to 4-player split screen while also playing online.

Call of Duty Black Ops allows 2-player split screen while playing online, and previous Call of Duty games only allow local split screen, no online.
 
Yeah, I think you're pretty much limited to Halo. Black Ops may be doable if you're only going to have 2 people per console. I can't remember if any of the CoD games are system link compatible, as if you were all in the same place that may be an option.

Unfortunately when it comes to multiplayer Halo is still the only one that does it right. Black Ops allowing a single guest to play is a first in the CoD series so you're lucky to even have that.
 
Or... you could work up $15,000 for 15 new gaming computers. 😛
BTW I'm pretty sure that Black Ops supports system link.

It does.

2 players per console.

Halo is still the only game series that allows 4-player split screen in system link or online mode.

^^^^This. Even the lowliest PC's from the last 5-7 years can run this game. My $300 laptop runs it over 100fps.

The point of these get-togethers is more for the social aspect, but we also enjoy the games, too. Everyone sitting in front of a PC in different rooms defeats the purpose, so we'll just stick with Halo I guess.

Thanks for all the input everyone. I appreciate it.

Console devs don't want us to have real life friends; all of our friends must now be in the cloud.

So sad but true. Great example for that is Skate. My friends and i used to play Skate 2 for 6 hours at a time just doing crazy tricks. Skate 3 = no local multiplayer. Are you fucking serious?
