    Yes. you'll need a USB as yet again people come to events and steal anything they can, even though HDDs aren't worth a great deal.

    So you'll just have to put your profile on a USB then you can use it at the event

    I'm not being bad, but isn't it there own fault for not carrying it around safely in a bag or something? I know USBs don't cost much, but I really don't see why I need to go out and buy one when I already need to buy a wired controller. Why can't we bring our HDDs and if they go missing it's our own fault? Or is the HDDs that were originally on the Xboxes being used being stolen?

    Its EGLs HDDs as some people brought USBs so we had to provide them. So people with HDDs were taking them out and leaving them lying around or stealing them.

    People ask why EGL doesn't offer more prize money or a whole bunch of things, its because of this. If we can get it where we finish a event with basically all of our stuff then we'd actually be able to use the money we spend on replacing items on improving events even more.

    I don't understand why its such a big problem? Its not your HDDs being stolen, its EGLs. It isn't one or two being stolen.

    If you don't want to bring a USB dont. You won't get in game communications however, just don't complain to me on the day about it.

    Is there anywhere I can find a ruleset for LAN events @ EGL??? For example: No talking when dead in S&D? I can't find an official page anywhere that provides the rules.

    Also, is there a clear explanation of the USB/HDD situation? I'm a bit confused if game chat or party chat will be available as part of my team does not have access to daisy chain. Much apprecation!

    The HDD/USB situation is just EGL telling players to bring a XBL gold profile on a memory stick. This is because of the way the game is coded by IW. Basically they didn't make it so you can use the game chat feature (everyone is automatically stuck on mute). So what you have to do is sign into XBL and then everyone it unmuted.

    Its just easier to do for us to do if you bring USBs, it also stops people stealing EGLs HDDs.

    I can't find the LAN ruleset thread. I've asked the staff if they can find it and I'll edit it in when found. Or I'll answer any question about the rules you have now.

    @Razor

    So bring a USB with Gold Profile attached and once signed in, you can use in-game chat, correct?

    Also, a thread would be much more ideal as I'm sure other players have questions about the LAN rules, not only me.
