Bungie has not confirmed 4 player split-screen MP for Halo 2 and I would just like to voice my opinion on it's importance.

Reasons I think split-screen MP is important...
1. LAN parties are easier to coordinate when you need only four xboxes for a 16 player game.

2. People who don't LAN or don't have Xbox Live need 4 player split-screen MP to play with their friends (even if it's only 4 at a time).

3. Split-screen MP has been a big part of the Halo gaming community and it would be a big mistake to replace it with Xbox Live...instead Xbox Live should be a way to expand Halo's gaming community and MP.

4. If it ain't broke don't fix it...it would be nice to see all the old MP modes in Halo 2 like Co-Op, Split-Screen and System Link with a new tab for Xbox Live at the bottom.

It would be nice if 4 player split screen could happen over Xbox Live but if it didn't I wouldn't really care...I like having my big screen in games like Rainbow Six 3 and Splinter Cell.

These are my opinions and I'd like to know how you guys feel as well.

The Master Chief emerged from his code. After seeing his dynamically lit realtime shadow, he went back for 9 more months of development.


Behold the power of the Originals, the Gods Axeone-Neurone.

It has been confirmed. Bungie is not changing the features of Halo only adding to them.

I've read a lot about the new Halo 2 features and I never read anything that confirmed this directly so please tell me where you got this information.

Polls can sometimes be directed by the question itself. So ... I think a better poll would ask what a gamer would sacrafice to get the feature. That might also help Bungie make a better decision.

That being said and keeping in mind that I simply can't wait any longer for the sequel, I would be willing to wait an extra 4 months for the release of Halo 2 so Bungie can implement and/or optimize 4 player split-screen OVER XBOX-LIVE. It means allot to me personally.

I'm pretty sure you won't be able to have 3 guest on xbox live. Probably just 1 guest.

Lol i feel sorry for the people who start these threads

"I hope you listen bungie"

since when do they need to take advice from you? Your thread would be much more friendly if you left that part out, but since you HAD to add it in...

Believe it or not, bungie has millions of fans, and taking advice from a couple....not likely

Let's try to not boss around the people who make this game...

this is an official bungie site and this is where many of the fans come to tlk about the things they beleive are important. Because the fans are the ones who buy the game the company is gunna wanna know what the people want which is why they often refer to polls like this to see if they're giving their fans wat they want. If they make a game that has none of the features the fans want then they wont sell. The company is looking to sell as many copies as possible so they will look at what we want and the more of the stuff we want they add, the more copies will sell and that is why they often check sites such as this one so dont put down everyones hopes just cos u like depressin people spanky551.

No really they don't. The game is almost done man. They aren't taking anymore ideas from anybody but beta testers, and that's done too as far as I know.

im 99.9% sure that there will be 4plyr split screen for multiplayer- i wish i had the source on hand, but i remember reading that h2 will support up to six xbox's thus 24plyrs. as far as xbox live, i guess we'll have to wait and see.
anyone have that source on 6 xbox's for h2??

I hope that they do not have four player split screen on Xbox Live. Thats three people on your team that you can not talk to. That is both a huge disadvantage and a huge annoyance!
