Church hosted Halo Lan?

JigsawHC · May 23, 2004

If you knew of a church in your area that was hosting a Halo party would you go? Would you take your non-christian friends? Our church is looking to start something along these lines and I wanted to get an idea of what everyone though. Being a Halo lover I think it is a great idea, but I'm a little biased.

Let me know your thoughs,

I would love to go. Actually, I would go to ANY lan party at a church. I think that would be a great thing to do. And yes, I would bring non christian friends aswell.

Crimson Skies is another great lan game.

EDIT: And splinter Cell: Pandora Tomorrow (I think that has system link).

i'd go for sure! i just wish my church'd do something like that...

JigsawHC · May 24, 2004

Thanks for your input. I had not thought about Crimson Skies.

Absolutly, Halo rocks. Halo isn't a Christian game but it isn't sinful and if they can add in a way to minister with it. Cool!!!!!!!!!

That'd be slick. I'd be there.

Hmm... I don't know... I went to a church that had party where anyone could play Halo, and that's the first (and only) time I've played it. It seems wrong to me to have a church promoting a game that determines its winners by who can ost people. Going back the the "What would Jesus do?" question, I personally have a hard time picturing Jesus playing Halo.

Then again, I notice I'm the only one with a female symbol on my profile....

Still, this could be a great way to reach out the non christains, and christians alike.

But... What lan games don't have you attacking each other?

I was thinking about that and all of the really good games have fighting of some sort in them. I don't plan on hosting anything especially gory, but if non-christians are playing halo and Christians are playing halo (or any other game) we might as well play together.

Halo isn't especially gory. Veyr little blood is actually in Halo, only when someone dies or gets shot (and even then very little). Still, it would be funny to see a priest laughing maniacally as he launches a rocket at an unsuspecting bishop.

Heh... belive it or not, I agree with you, I mean there must be a way to reach out to people though games... just not overly violent ones.

And I don't have a female symbol

A Halo LAN party at church??? I would SOOOO do that! (If only there was four-player co-op... or IS there? )

Roo6339 · May 27, 2004

i don't think that playing halo in church is bad... it's sci-fi violence. if it were something like america verses iraq i think that'd be a bit different. but that's just my opinion...

We don't exactly play Halo at our church, but our youth pastor plays Halo, and we get together once and a while and have lan parties of about 3 - 4 XBOXes with Halo.

A Girl · Jun 27, 2004

We play Halo at our church. Our youth pastors as well as the kids play.

Nope. It is a non Christian thing at a church... Does not compute...
