Yesterday, 343 Industries announced the first ever Halo 2 Anniversary 4v4 tournament which is taking place at Gamescom 2014 next week.

We were left with questions on how the tournament would be played, considering the Xbox One has shaky history when it comes LAN support.

Che Chou – Franchise Media Manager at 343 Industries, confirmed in a tweet that the tournament would indeed be played in a LAN setting, via Custom Games.

@SIayher @JoshuaKraZeR note: your router will still need an internet connection. Not for game packets but for Xbox Ones to say hi to LIVE. — che chou (@chespace) August 7, 2014

@TheLittleMoa @SIayher @JoshuaKraZeR correct. note that bandwidth doesn't need to be very robust. Xbox just needs a ping from LIVE. — che chou (@chespace) August 7, 2014

A lot of people were left wondering if the game would support LAN due to how the Xbox One has no offline profiles. Along with that, we also have confirmation that 343 Industries and Pro Players will be playing on stream.
