As far as i'm corcerned, only 2 games have supported four players to play on xbox live on the same screen using the same xbox, Unreal championship and Moto gt. i really hope halo 2 is next.
i hate it when you want to play with a friend on xbox ive on the same house, but you have to get an extra xbox and an extra game and the link cables. i think more games shoud support
friends that can play with you without using a new gametag.
i think it would also be helpful to reduce lag. of course there will be less lag if 8 players are playing on two xboxes instead of 8 individual playes all around the world. Now imagine 16 or 24 players!
what do you guys think?

Although the convinience of playing with your friends on Live at the same house is nice, I think the real issue is Lag. The games can be very bandwith consuming, and the actions and responses of 4 people on a complex game such as Halo or Halo 2 would make lag horrendous on anything except maybe a T1 or T3. Just not enough wire, you know?

While it migth appear that condensing the palyers onto 1 box is easier, it most cerainly isn't. Anyone that has experimented with XBconnect or Gamespy's network can tell you this for fact.

Good Idea though, presuming there can be a way to condense everything into some form of burst packet. If not, I would much prefer 1 or 2 palyers max in live per box, so as not to ruin everyones experience.
