Currently, most games you need to have a membership to play on xbox live and you can not play with your friends on Live on the same box. Correct? Me and friends always play Lan or on Xbconnect, but when halo 2 comes out does it mean we can't anymore because of the whole membership issue and having to play on different registered boxes or what?
A friends who plays on Live says most games will only allow you to play by yourself (regarding your box) with others on live. Meaning no one can be on your box with you on live. Is this true? Because then Live would suck for Halo 2 if you can't play w/ your friends against others on Live!!

My real questions are:

When Halo 2 comes out will it be possible to play with four people on one box with one Xbox Live account or even four accounts instead of having to split the boxes and accounts?

Also, if that is the case then will Xbconnect still be available for Halo 2 users who want to literally play together on one box?

i belive that Halo 2 will be on xbox connect, as most LAN games are. Unless some copyright law protects it from being used in this way. and as for your other question, i'm not sure if you will be allowed guests on the same xbox to play Halo 2 over live.

It could be possible to play split screen since the original let you do it with XBC. But it depends on lag and latency issues. Plus playing split screen kinda sucks in an online game since the whole point is to have the whole screen to yourself.
