There might have already been many posts about this, but this bothers me. I hope that four players are allowed per box.

It'd be awesome to have up to four players on one box teamed up and kicking foreign arse. I don't see why Bungie wouldn't do it, especially for the poor kids who only get xbox live when they go over to their friends' house. (me...)

I think this is an interesting topic. I hope they allow so many so i voted for 4 but in my mind im thinking 2 cuz of screen sizes.

i'd think the isue of joining games could pop up with 4 people per box cause there has tobe 4 slots open

i'd like 4 though none of my friends have a box so i'd love to still be able to have them play

i think probly 2 though

I hope 4 makes it and that there is no lag in live as well.

I definitely want 4 players on live. Halo 2 will be the bestesteresterest ever on live.

I'm hoping for 4. It just adds for more people to a game, with some really good communication also. It's more fun with other people with you too. But dude, you only have 14? I think I'm in the high 90's. Friends on Live are fun, but I know that I personally would like to have my buddies by my side in Water Works! (The new map that's supposed to be the next Blood Gulch)

I'm hoping for 4, more people per box = less lag problems, that's how I see it...

I think 4 would be too much because:
1. in terms of Lag
2. Other players playing on a full screen would have a huge advantage

I think split screen would be a nice middle.

you'd be able to play on split screen if you wanted to, or umm double split screen. so why not have the ability to be able to go all the way to 4 players... hehe, this thread is making me dream of future awesomeness...

You wanna know why it wont ever be four, and we'll be lucky with two? MONEY. The more people who can play for free on xbox live means the less money microsoft makes. They aren't gonna go with four. Trust me. Case closed.

I for one would be incredibly disappointed in Bungie if they made a mistake as large as not including 4 player live. For any of you that have xbconnect take a look at how many games are currently going on with 3 or 4 per xbox. I guess if bungie doesn't include it though we can always go back to xbconnect again.

I think Bungie knows what they're doing, I think they'll have 4 per box, I have faith in Bungie.

somebody said 4 players per box is MORE lag... as somebody (i forget who) said in another topic and also somebody in this one.... having 4 players per box actually helps prevent lag... which causes more lag 16 boxes of 1 or 4 boxes of 4.... why is it on xbc tht having a 4v4 with 4 on each box helps prevent lag?.... obviously its better to have more per box... 1 per box will screw up the xbox community... and halt successful longterm sales of Halo and memberships to xbox live (some ppl want to play with their friends thts y they r gettin it) and diminish the chances of a successful halo 3 or next FPS bungie makes
