The Master Chief emerged from his code. After seeing his dynamically lit realtime shadow, he went back for 9 more months of development.

If you mean can you play more than one person on Xbox Live with one Xbox? Then yes, you can have up to four people per Xbox on Xbox Live.

If you mean actual co-op mode through the campaign over Live? We do not know yet, but it is a possibility.

I'm confused. You said co-op online, but with your brother and you dont want to buy another X-Box to do it. Co-op online is for people not sitting next to eachother on the same X-Box. If you were on the same X-Box then theres no need to play online. Do you mean multiplayer? Yes, there can be 4 people on one X-Box to play multiplayer online.

As for co-op being online though (on 2 different X-Boxes), thats not known yet.

From top story at Bungie.net

OK, so you can play Halo 2 on your own. You can play split screen coop with a buddy. You can play split screen deathmatches without Live. You can even play 16 player System Link games. If you have a lot of TVs. And Xboxes. But to get the most out of multiplayer you'll want to subscribe to Xbox Live.


it only mentions split screen co-op...not live or system link co-op...though just cause he didn't mention it doesn't mean it won't exist...its just...he didn't mention it.

It says under the "GET ON LIVE" section

Firstly, I didnt lie about a single thing.
Secondly, stop with the '-blam!--O-TIZED' thing already.
Thirdly, thats not cool.

Look for confirmation of split screen live on the 24th. Four player split screen was unofficially stated by Bungie at FanFest. It was in the beta, but limited to 2 players.

OXM will have a special issue out August 24 with Halo 2 beta information.

Bungie did unofficially state that 4 player split screen over Xbox Live is in. Also this was proved by the leaked beta screens.

If you believe this theres a problem, sure some of it is believable, but it gets pretty fake later on. I know theres others out there who would support what I say too.
