Well since im a newb to these forums I guess it's reasonable for me to ask this question.

Will Halo 2 support 4 players on a single xbox for either system-link or split screen multiplayer like it did in Halo? the reason I ask is I have searched the FAQ's on various sites and it is never specified whether or not this is possible, the only information I can find is that you can now have 16 xbox's linked for 16 players.

I would be throughly disappointed if it didn't. Xbox live is a good service, but it has ruined many of the good 4 player MP games, since they all seem to be more focused at making it a good online experience.

I almost positive they will not take out the 4 player spilt screen and the system link with 16 players and 4 tvs. That was the best part about the first halo.

Unknown!? Halo was so good becuase of its ability to 4 player split or sys-link, I certainly hope its implemented otherwise there will be alot of seriously dissapointed gamers.

It will probably depend on the player limit for multiplayer. If it is 16 players you will most likely be able to organize it so 16 players can play on 4 Xboxs.

Actually, the developers stated that EACH player CAN have their OWN tv screen, with 16 player and 16 tvs. THAT IS GOING TO BE AWESOME!!
