What are some of the best xbox 360 games that a group can play using system link? We have done the halo game to death and want to expand out multiplayer horizons so to speak. We are usually 4 to 6 player and we only have 2 consoles at this moment to link.

Games we've played so far :
Halo series
Ghost recon 2
Unreal tourn 3
fifa/madden/nba/nhl

Any recommendations are welcome?
 
Left 4 Dead 2 is obviously all kinds of awesome, although it's only two players per console. Ditto Gears of War 2 - the Horde mode is particularly well suited to system link play.

I've also played Modern Warfare 2 on system link, but for some dastardly reason you can't mix split-screen and system link. :/

thanks, I'm very interested in the gears 2 horde mode, looking at some youtube vids at the moments, looks full of awesomeness.

Keep em coming guys/gals

Edit : I just remembered - I am aware of the many links on the web, listing all the system link games, I want to know which ones are the best.

Yeah, Horde mode is a total blast. It also becomes extremely difficult in later stages, so it's very challenging for players and requires a lot of coordinated teamwork. I still remember the first time my friends and I managed to complete wave 50 - it was pretty epic. :D

Gears of War 2 has other fantastic multiplayer modes too, and scales to smaller groups well because you can add bots.

If you've not yet tried it, Halo: ODST's Firefight mode - very similar to Horde, actually; significantly more difficult in some aspects, though - is also great. Unlike most Halo multiplayer modes, however, it's restricted to two-way splitscreen.
 
Forza 2 supports System Link :) I'm still upset that Forza 3 didn't include System Link support. What a stupid move from them
