You will need fast access to play on X Box Live, 56k simply won't get the job done. So yes.. you need to be looking into getting DSL or preferably Cable. And In response to the original post I would assume you could play 4 players on one x box just like you can play any other Live game with as many players as allowed in System Link. If Bungie does not make it so you can it would be a true shame and disgrace to all the work they've done.

Just for your information, only a couple of games on x-box live allow you to play with more than one person on an account. I highly doubt halo 2 will allow guests on your account. It slows down the games, and ties up the memory on your x-box. 4 people on one box will have to be reserved for lan parties.

Xbox Live Gamertag: Opey Master

Posted by: link 1264
And yeah, Opey could probably win that game without using his BR. Best SMG user in Halo.


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ RCG ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

some games already have two people be able to play on live. Mechassault, Crimson Skies, I don't know any more! But Halo 2 should have at least 2 people play on live. See ya there!

don't get AOL for cable/DSL!!!! The whole point of Cable and DSL is that you are "always on" but AOL doesn't let you do this, and therefore getting xbox live configuered is a HUGE hassle. I have a friend that has done this, but he said it took him a few hours with customer service to accomplish, and it's supposedly really complicated. Make AOL your last choice to high speed internet.

I can't believe I lost that article... Im positive H2 will alow at least one guest on your account. My friends Dad is a microsoft employee and is getting the internal beta, so I'll be playing on LIVE with him. (it's coming today or tomorrow!!!!!) Also, I read in an article somewhere that it will support three guests, and each guest can have their own headset.

EDIT- P.S. Don't flame me if you don't believe the beta thing. I know it's true, and that is all that matters.

you really seriously think your dad is going to let you play it? ha! they probably have like hitmen watching his every move as soon as he gets his copy to make sure he is the only one who plays it and sees it.

First of all, it's my friends dad.

Secondly, my friend is the one doing all the work for it, his dad just applied for the beta.

Thirdly, he has shown me all the emails and they specifically say that you are allowed to play with one other non MS person.
