i am asking this because alot of my friends dont have xbox live so whats the fun if you cant even play with your friends i mean that is one of the reasons halo has been such a multiplayer hit besides if there gonna have 32 player battles that
will only happen over xbox live because no one really has that much food TVs
and carpet ( great place to nap during long lan parties) so i hope this issue
is looked over by bungie.

I doubt it.

Probably 2-player at most.

2 player co-op split screen is more than likely.

4 is possible. XBOX LIVE co-op will depend on what Bungie chooses to do.

32 players is unlikely. 16 on LIVE and 24 split screen is more likely.

You know I actually know some people who have the space, food and tv sets for a 32 player game, and would be up for it anytime. I'll be sure to invite you along if they set Halo 2 up for that. But you have make your own way to Texas. ;) I was told that four player co-op missions will be possible in campaign mode, is that true?

Man, this is one of those questions that you just wish a Bungie official would just come in and answer. I mean seriously, how much are they really revealing??? If this stuff is gonna be in the game, then I'm gonna buy it regardless. I would just like to hear some info about this so we can know for sure how the MP is gonna work.

So, if any of you Bungie guys are reading this... Please just answer the damn question! It doesn't really spoil your plotline, which I can understand you would want to protect. But, come on, tell us about MP so we have something to anticipate. IMO, dual wielding would be a better surprise to hold back than MP #'s and whether or not split-screen would be available.

MSXL: The Last Honest Chapter

Well, XBC was able to pull off 4 player Halo online, but unless you have a really fast connection, it is kinda laggy. Now Halo 2 is gonna have a lot of bump-mapping, and other graphical monsters. I have a feeling the live play will be limited to one player. It would be killer to have 4, but that would slow down the game BIG time.

Im pretty sure i heard 64 player servers somewhere. Also, Halo 2 will probably support 4 people Live. I mean if they have 4 player multiplay, then of course.
