Quick question--
Im sure this has been asked before and answered, but I cant find it anywhere so...
When playing Halo 2 on Xbox-Live can you have a "Guest" like in Unreal Tournament? Or even more so than one guest, 3?
To give you a scenario where this would come into play... You have 4 Friends, only 2 of you have Xbox's. Could you go 2 v 2 online, or would you have to make the trip to someones house.
Another would be if you have a friend with an xbox in another state, you have 3 friends without xboxs, could they also play, or would they be left in the cold?
Of course these are the only real situations where "Guests" are even a factor. If you have 7 friends and 2 of you have Xbox's what would the difference be between going 4 on 4 online or just getting yourself over to the persons house and bringing a lan cable? Also it would be pretty anti-social seeing as only 2 people could use the headphones.

Also, I have heard that in the next update for XBL, guests can use headsets (but I guess you would have to mute the people on the same console as you)

ALSO big guestion i noticed when you have a guest it will say in the player list YOUR GAMETAG and your guest will be YOUR GAMETAG Guest 1

now i hope in halo it will let you have your profile name and your guest can use his own profile name so it could be Bungie Jump (thats my name) and Spartan-025 (thats my brothers)

Lots of you say that you will be able to have 3 guests+ yourself on the same box. I really hope this is true, but can anyone show me where this is confirmed?

Not only can you have 4 players per Xbox on Xbox Live, but each of those 4 players can use a headset. The headsets also work for LAN games.

On Crimson Skies you can play +1 guest, IF YOU LOAD YOUR XBOX LIVE TAG FROM A MEM CARD TO THE HOST XBOX U CAN SELECT YOUR TAG, U don't have to be a guest, it gives you the option, also If you do this BOTH of u can use a headset.

Nah, not from the guys beta report. From before that, like a month ago. It was somebody from bungie or msoft or something to that effect. It might have been from ign or another off bungie site
