If Bungie does manage to squeeze three guests in per box on Live with one account, how will the ranking system keep track of their stats? I dont think all my college buddies want to get an XBL account just so they can keep track of their kills/deaths/wins/losses online. I myself will have an XBL account so no worries for me, but Im pretty concerned about how Im going to stack up against my friends if their stats arent saved.

i dont think that they will keep stats for guest. However, if u have a XBL account they will keep your stats saved.

I just don't think Halo 2 will record stats for guests at all. Or at least they wont be on the leaderboards or go towards your stats.

I'm pretty sure that's how it works for other games.

Thats a shame. I guess I'll need to make sure all my friends get XBL accounts, then.

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.

I don't even want guests to count towards anyones stats. If you have an account and you kill or get killed by a guest it should not count as anything. This would keep people from boosting their scores by starting games with guests and just killing them.

It might keep track of their stats in their profiles on your xbox but they will in no way be official XBL stats.
