We had Halo CE on flash drives and on the school file server in the depths of the Robotics club shared drive. It was great until they found the file and made us delete it.

Back on a FIRST Robotics trip, we all had laptops with trackpads playing Halo CE in the car, with a LAN setup via power inverter. We successfully ran between 2 vehicles with a semi in the middle at one point with no noticeable lag!

I got lucky with my school, the teachers/sysadmin were defacto okay with us storing a game on there, at least until enough other students found it and caused network problems.

That is amazing.

Ah Halo CE. It was on every PC at our school by the time I graduated... You just had to find where it was.
