i hope so.. i hope it's split-screen, too. a lot of companies have been taking out split-screen because the hardware can't handle the graphics

Bungie will have split- screen since Halo 2 will have less polygons than Halo . Makes it more likely they will have split screen.

I’m really pleased that we were able to really get a true client/server networking architecture written that knows how to deal with latency and bandwidth. We’re tuning that core system to improve the experience now that we’re seeing how it works in “the real world”.

I wished coop could’ve been re-written for network play before launch. The cooperative model on the Xbox was designed to support split-screen, but not system link modes (like the competitive multiplayer modes in Halo do) – as a result, adding networked coop to Halo for Windows would have taken far more coding and architecture reworking, significantly pushing out the launch of the game.


I know this is about halo PC but hey if they can do it on PC they can do it on Xbox. I remember reading another interview about Halo Xbox though that said the same thing. They would have liked to do it but they wanted to launch it when Xbox launched and they just didn't have the time.

It would be so much better online. I have a friend that lives a few hours away- and to be able to play campaign over xblive with him would be awesome.

I really hope they implement that.

Dear Bungie:
Please get the CO/OP over xblive in HALO 2.
Love,

Online if you want too, but Link up is the way to go, there's nothing like seeing your friend's face when you talk smack while killing all of them.

Halo 2 will have split-screen co-op and 4-person multiplayer because if they took them out,they would be taking out some of the best things from the first Halo.

I just got the Halo Xbox so now i have two. It would be a major bonus if there is Link up co op.
But if not it wont matter too much, I'll be playing online multiplayer

I agree cause i know that there are people that cant link up with friends. if it turns out to be online co op only that would be fine by me.
