Halo 2 will be perfect

My Theory :

Bungie says they want and are going to make XBOX LIVE play as much as possible as System Link play, due to the fact of the great popularity of system link play in Halo, well this is what I think about these two CENSORED's (Frankie's Weekly Update 6/18):

"Had a couple of take home tests to check out how our fragile child-game performs in the high school play ground. I think we only got one black eye

CENSORED and CENSORED tests."

I believe they are Video and Voice tests. Just think about it, system link, you are in the same room with all your friends, you can see them all. Well maybe there will be an optional camera for Halo 2, the game that is supposedly going to become a "mile stone".

"Mat Noguchi is just now checking in the magic code that makes players on XBox Live look like more than just a name, I'm psyched! "

Is that why XBOX LIVE is also getting updated to tunsumi ? To be able to host Video communications? Will you be able to see and talk to everyone you are playing while your waiting for a game to start ?
Who knows ?

I know I'm going out on a limb here, but it may be possible.

Thank's for reading, I would love to hear your input.

Looks like this is becoming more of a reality, go look at this Japan Xbox Video Chat Kit that was just unveiled.

Well, Eyetoy is more of a gimmick...it has games that you play on screen. He's suggesting that this be used just as a camera, so you can see who you're playing with/against. Meh, I don't know if I like the idea of someone I don't know looking at me while I play video games. But I'm open to try it at least, and it could be cool.

jharbst,

I think it would be just used while waiting for the game to start, and members to join, but who knows ? Only Bungie and Microsoft.

Yeah, I think you're probably right on that one...as it wouldnt' work to have your screen split up so you can see your seven teammates while playing. But yeah, it would be cool.

The Cat 5 wire only uses 2 pairs, there are 4 pairs of wires in Cat 5 or 6, maybe they are going to be able to use those two extras, and possibly broadband can handle it.

I'm sure they said some of the same things about XBOX Communicator and how people would be swearing and starting verbal arguments.

Well they will upgrade it to 3.0 right? Remember there is some speculation that xbox 2 will have 3 64bit processors(graphics?). And there will be a 10/10,000 base ethernet cable coming out(cat 6e or 7 perhaps?) Software and hardware upgrades leapfrog each other so.....

The highest CAT wire now in 6, if they do come out with CAT 7, it will not be a huge improvement. The only diffrence between CAT 5 and CAT 6 in the twist per square inch and the stick in the center of CAT 6 to keep the pairs twisted. The only way you can see a major incerase is a switch to fiber optic cable, which XBOX does not have an Optical input, and people cryed about that, so they probaly will have an optical input and output on XBOX 2.

If Bungie does not make a Halo 3 or 4. I hope they sell thier rights to a sister company of equal experience and fortitude to continue on the Halo Tradition.
