Step-by-Step Guide

Step 1: Figure out who you want to invite.

Your neighbors, your school friends, your longtime companions, you're friend's friends? Get an exact number count before you start.

Step 2: Make a list.

See how many of them have Xbox 360s, how many of them have Halo 3, how many of them have Hard Drives? You will also need a rough guess of how many controllers they have, and if they are wireless. , You can't really lug a flat-screen back and forth, so you may have to settle for some smaller ones.

Craigslist has many small used televisions for under 20 dollars, but if you are not that dedicated, see if anyone you know has a little TV in their garage. ,, Everyone is going to be sad they are stuck with CQB and Mark VI again, so you'll have to decide which consoles are being brought. (Memory Units are very helpful) , Make sure you have enough chairs, or a couch, or if people are going to be sitting on the floor. ,, Players will be hungry from all this killing, so snacks are much appreciated.

Even an enormous bowl of chips will do, but you need something. ,,,,,
