Hi all. Didn't see a search function, so I'll just ask.

I've been poking around the web, reading various FAQs and and I ever see is that H2 will support 16 players via Xbox Live.

My question is if you can play multiple players on the same Xbox (like 8 people playing in splitscreen teams of 4 on 2 Xboxes) or does every player need their own Xbox and gamertag?

Again, I didn't see this info or a forum search anywhere- but I am wearing my asbestos boxer shorts. Thanks in advance!

I wonderd that too, I hope that the Clan support thing takes care of that. I hope that it lets like 4 people on one account, and lets them pick anyname for like a 4 on one account thing.

Yes you can play 4 players on one box, they will sign is as 'guests' and will not have the headset capability. I am not sure if you can hook up two boxes and sign in or not but I doubt it.

There are rumors that XBL will support 4 players per X-Box, but it is yet to be confirmed.

Welcome to Bungie.net. I'm fairly new here, but the people who aren't trolling are decent people from what I have seen so far.

I've read through the forums and I recall seeing a link to a confirmation that there will be 4 players allowed on XBox Live... 3 can be guest or use other accounts. I remember reading the confirmation, I'll have to find it again but yes.. you will be able to play 4 on one box.

Heheheheh... Sweet!

I've been poking around other threads and everybody seems pretty levelheaded around here, I'll probably chill for a while, I expect it'll be a ghost town come November 9. LOL

Anyway, my Xbox Live will be here Friday. I bought it just for Halo 2. :-)

You can have 3 guests per xbox and each one can use their own mic. Just buy the special mic thingy. You can also have a lan match with 16 xboxs and have 1 player on each one.

From the Halo 2 FAQ
Q:

What new multiplayer features have been confirmed so far?

A:

Whew... where to begin? Here's a quick rundown of what was new at E3 this year: (note : any and all of this is subject to change before the final release!)


* Each player can use an individual box in LAN games (up to 16 boxes)
* Players can join a game in progress
* If the game host leaves, the game will migrate to another host and keep on going!
* The host of a game can lock it, preventing anyone else from joining.



Hope this helps.
