When playing on xbox live in halo 2, when that does happen, will we be able to have more than person on your screen. Say like i want me and 3 other people on the same screen as me on xbox live, or me and my brother, can we do that?? Or is it just 1 person per screen on xbox live?? MUST KNOW!~!~!~!~!~!~

I'm 99% sure it will be separate screens, #1 because the Xbox will have to send up to 4 different piees of info over the internet, #2 because u will have to have your own XBL account to play it online

that would make halo 2 the best game alive, even thought now matter what it will already be, but the fact that u can go online and do w/e u want with another guy on the screen would be sick

i read that you will be able to bring 3 guest along with you when you play on xbl. sounds like 4 player spilt screen on live to me. i'll try to dig up the link.

It better have 4 people per TV on live. I have 2 friends and a brother, and we always play XBC at my house, none of them have xboxes... or any money. It would be boring for the 3 of us sitting there watch the one person play on Live.

as has been said many times in the updates. bungie is really trying to capture the feeling of a LAN party with what they are doing on xbl. what better way to do this than have 4 of your close buddies right next to you playing. i definently think they will try with all their might to include this feature. if it doesn't make it into halo 2 i doubt it is because they don't want it or didn't try. but if xbox connect can handle it i'm sure xbl would have no trouble at all.

lag


your still limited to the same amount of players. if anything you would have less lag because there are fewer locations to send the info. they have said that halo 2 will have at least 16 ppl on xbl. now which would be faster 16 ppl on 16 xboxs in 16 different locations? or 16 ppl on 4 xboxs in 4 locations. that is a no brainer.

absoluetly not, the more players = a higher polygon count that is still going through one broadband line.

Don't worry, you can have 1 account on an xbox, and have 4 people (1 guy w/ an account, 3 moochers) per xbox/tv. That's been mentioned in quite a few places. Maybe if you go to halo.bungie.org and look up their archive of frankie updates it might be in there. but don't worry, its 4 ppl a screen for live.

have you ever played on xbox connect? people have 4 xboxs with 4 ppl all the time. the lag on xbl will be much better than xbc. so lag will not be an issue.
