Subject: Question about Halo:CE as Xbox 360 Marketplace DLC and as a Game Disc

If I download the DLC version off of marketplace, what capabilities does it have regarding LANs? How does it work in LANs with Halo:CE game discs or with other Halo:CE DLC? Is it fully functional or is noncompatible?

I'm so over all of this.

Hmm..good question. It seems to me it will play exactly the way it would off of the disc, with only minimal frame drops, errors, etc.

if someone has both versions, an ethernet cable (and an ethernet LAN hub if necessary), and one of each console, this could be easily tested.

As long as both games are Halo: CE, and not, say, Timesplitters, the LAN will succeed.

has anyone tested this? it seems valid but there could be some minor technical problems that can make it impossible

To play or not to play....

It is exactly the same as the disk version. 100% the same except it is stuck on the one console and tagged to your profile so if you go to your mates place you need to either log in and download it or take your Xbox with you.
