lol that's funny! But like I said there might be a change in halo 2 on how weapons and armor react you might not get a 3 shot kill in halo 2 I’ve heard the battle rifle takes 5 shots in zoom to kill someone now.


That's true. But the people who were lucky enough to play @ e3 said that playing H2 felt very familiar.

No actually....XBOX LIVE ONLY SUPPORTS 1 PLAYER PER SCREEN.....i wish it supported more, but Fankie said it does not. And the Battle Rifle takes 8 shots in the head to kill when zoomed, or 3 bursts unzoomed. The sniper rifle now zooms in first at 5X and then at 10X.....

Do we even need to argue this.......Xbox live only supports 1 player per screen.....and thats it there is No co-op over live or split-screen.....and the voice chat is only for the one person....even if that where possible it would be pointless to use voice chat in a split screengame.

No no no no no.. you can play four ppl on one box with XBox Live, the other three players will sign in as a guest. Your information was wrong, I know for a fact this is true.. I'll have to find the official link but it IS official you can play four players on one TV.

Listen very carefully ok? ALL OF YOU... Halo 2 is gonna support clan play, they're is going to be tournaments and there is going to be 4 ppl allowed on one TV, YES 4. Other players can sign is as guest if they don't have an XBox Live account, they probably won't be able to use a communicator but yes they can play on a Box with Live. If Bungie does not allow more than one person to play on a screen then it would ruin the Live experience and make the game nowhere near as successful, they are smarter than that. Also there is several XBox Live games where you can have more than one person sign in and play. Top Spin for example allows guests for doubles play so don't tell me you can only have one player in XBox Live. You will be able to play 4, I promise you.. I've read it several times, I'll just have to find where it was.

Yeah it's right: 4 Players on LIVE

And for some new news: a german magazin called XBOX ZONE published a HANDS ON in their latest mag. They wrote stuff about new MP Maps and that at Waterworks, the walls can crash down and even kill tanks and banshees. And you can even jump on a banshee and kick out the player. In SP there are only ELITES and the BRUTES who can jump on Warthogs. Grunts and Jackals are not intelligent enough to do it. And there will be a pistol in the final game. And it will be dual-wieldable.

I will get that mag today and check that to be sure. It has been posted on some sites today. So I believe it's true.

XBC will probrably suck really bad with halo 2 because of all the graphics and such. It will probrably lag worse than halo 1 did unless you had like a t3 connection


The conection doesnt send graphics... it sends co-ordinates and a few other bits... The lag comes from bad connections...

However whats the point of Halo 2 on XBC when LIVE is there? LIVE rocks! The only reason people did play Halo online is because Halo wasnt LIVE enabled.
