I was just wondering about this, because it sometimes sounds like Bungie says something that can mean different things...

"Now that Halo 2 supports 16 players on System Link, with voice support and a screen for everyone who wants one, it's likely to be just as popular as in the original Halo. Maybe even more so!"

The bit where it says a screen for everyone who wants one - and there's also other mentions of this in some other places (weekly updates, probably).

This, along with the rest of the stuff I've read about it, sounds to me like they're saying that if 2 people are playing on 1 Xbox - they can have a screen each if they want - like a mixture of split screen and system link...

Now - am I just completely taking this in wrongly, or is that what they mean...?

That's what I thought - I mean, that probably isn't actually physically possible anyway! :D

Just wanted to make sure - because that would have been awesome in co-op - getting your own screen but playing on the same Xbox! :)

But I'm sure you'd need some kind of special splitter or something, anyway - which probably doesn't exist at this point in time...

Thanks,
Ross
