Want Xbox game for 1 V 1 so I can head shot my kid?

[Tiggsy]

So I have an Xbox (whatever the latest one is called) - so do all my kids.

I want to play downstairs, while they play upstairs.....so we are in the same map....and I can shoot them. To assert my parental authority

We bought Battlefield 5 thinking we could do this - we can't, we can only play in a map with loads of others on line.

So - what game do we buy to do this?

Man, life was easier when it was just Counter Strike!

Halo 3, old but gold!

any sense in getting a newer version? Halo 5?

Brings back memories of the ballistic knife battles in nuketown I'd have with my kids...great fun!

[dxbtiger]

get Halo MCC

Have you considered an older call of duty? Modern warfare 2 (1 v 1 rust expression comes to mind) or COD4. Be able to do some split screen as well to be able to look across at the expressions of other players when you do headshot them.

Most are backwards compatible on Xbox one too.

Edit: seen you want to play in different rooms, I think you can do private or custom game lobbies as well

Nah, it's a bit naff. As someone else said, Halo Master Chief Collection is the way to go.

Don't the xboxs need to be physically connected to each other for that or am I showing my age and just being on the same network fine now.

Remember playing a load of 4 way halo on a 14" portable at Uni, that took good eyesight!

Bf1 or BF4... All you need to do is rent a private server from EA

As long as all players have an Xbox live gold account (or in some games bring guests along), you should be able to set up a private lobby on the selected game. I think in this case, multiple xboxes are involved.

I think what you were referring to is a 'LAN Party'

Edit: you don't have to physically connect the Xboxes to do private lobbies as long as they have a form of internet connection

If you don't want to spend money hiring a server each time in battlefield, you could risk using a 0 player server and hope people don't join...

Probably the best reason to have kids.


Gears of War? Loved the 1v1 on that game

There aren't many others! Most pointless invention ever (aprat from sustaining human life) Once we suss out living for ever, you can stop with the stupid brats.

Rainbow 6 Siege - and it has some pretty small maps.

Excellent game too - very strategic, so your older and more experienced mind might help over his quicker reflexes
