Ok, i got tired of looking at that snyper guy's fake "I played halo 2" thread. One thing that is really concerning me about H2 is that fact that from every picture and everything i've read about the game is that online play is only 1 person to the xbox. If bungie seriously got rid of multiple players online then they're freaking idiots. nobody ever says "hey, wanna come over and play some rainbow 6?" do they? NO! because i don't want to watch my friends play video games, the reason halo has had such longevity is because of the fact that you can go over to your buddy's house and play with 3 other guys together. I can understand having CS and DOD be single player on the computer because you can't hook up multiple players on a comp. the xbox however has 4 PORTS on the front for a reason. regardless of how badass the graphics and how cool the new guns are, this game is going to flop after the initial sales. There aren't going to be national "halo 2" tournaments 3 years after it's release if you have to use 8 freaking xbox's for a 4v4 game. god i'm mad.

you are still going to be able to play with 4 players, just MAYBE not over X-Box Live.

and that is a big maybe. So calm down. Take a breath. If bungie hasn't said it, then you cant make assumtions.

Sorry man, but everything you just said or thought about Halo 2 is false

They're keeping it 4-player per box; not sure where you heard any of this

But, as for Xbox Live players, that remains to be seen

Let's sit donw and think a little. Bungie never said these were system link games. So they might in fact be playing over xbox live, which only limits one person to an xbox anyways. And even if it was system link, maybe they decided to make it more comfortable on everyone by just placing everyone on their own tv.

I agree completely, i made a topic about this a while ago, i would really like someone from bungie to tells us wether its 4 people per xbox. Lots of promising games have came out in the past year,XIII, rainbow six 3, even metal arm glitch in the system would of been good, but all of them failed because the only allowed one person per xbox. If someone from bungie reads these forums, then please 4 people per xbox!!!!!!!

The E3 demo is playing on system link. Read one of the recent Halo 2 articles for proof.

The bungie guy says it was a network game when Max first comes in. Btw I think it's possible to have one guy on lan, but you can have 4 on each xbox, thats for sure. AS for Live, it takes masses of bandwidth to do that.
