How many people can play on the same xbox, without live, on this game. I'm hoping two for firefight, and two for campaign.

A Bungie update talked about up to 4 people can roam both campaign and firefight.

Edit: Apologies, it's 2-player Split-screen for each, and 4-player System Linked (2 per console).

How many players can play Campaign/Firefight?
1-4 players via Xbox Live or system link. 2 player offline. Not confirmed about AI for Firefight if fighting alone.

ok found something

Q. What about splitscreen?

A. We've said it before and we'll say it again. Halo 3: ODST has Feature Parity with Halo 3. That means locally, on a single Xbox 360, you can play through the campaign modes with a total of two players. Add in Xbox Live or System Link and you up the player count to four.

And local too, assuming you system link.

With just one xbox, you're limited to 3 players (you can plug a controller in the back).

Voilà!In view,a humble vaudevillian veteran,cast vicariously as both victim and villain by the vicissitudes of Fate.This visage, no mere veneer of vanity,is a vestige of the vox populi,now vacant, vanished.However,this valorous visitation of a by-gone vexation,stands vivified and has vowed to vanquish these venal and virulent vermin van-guarding vice and vouchsafing the violently vicious and voracious violation of volition.

if you have 4 wireless controllers then you can have four people. the screen will spilt up more than once, I've seen it.

I do this reguarly, but on Halo 3 custom games. The quality is always slightly lower when you do this. But I'm not talking about Halo 3, I'm talking about ODST, which doesn't have a custom games option.

Regardless of whether you have 4 controllers or not. You will still only be able to play with two players on a single (1, for ninjadude989) xbox.

  • 07.04.2009 4:21 PM PDT

Yes, 2 people for firefight, as far as what I've read is concerned.

But on an additional one you still have system link for ODST's co-op modes, in case no one else has mentioned it, if you want to have 4 player co-op and the physical presence of 4 people.

ODST's local capabilities are the same as Halo 3's. You can have 4 for Firefight, and 2 for Campaign.

  • 07.04.2009 4:26 PM PDT

Ok,half the people are saying two, for fireght, half are saying four. Which is actually correct?

you'll find out whose right when they game comes out
