Poll: For Xbox system link, how many players per Xbox should Halo 2 have?  [closed]
One per Xbox.:  4%
(2 Votes)
Two per Xbox.:  2%
(1 Votes)
Three per Xbox.:  2%

Four per Xbox.:  93%
(51 Votes)
I never system link my Xbox, so don't care.:  0%
(0 Votes)
Total Votes: 55

Okay, I'm really worried that Halo 2 will only support like 1-2 people per Xbox for system link. I was just wondering if it mattered to anyone else. I live in an area where I can't get Xbox Live at the moment, so system link is all I have, and I love it! But, it's not worth the time to set up a link party if I can only have like 4-8 people play. Basically since the less people per Xbox, the more TV's I need, and that's what I don't have enough of. So, let me know if any of you agree with me that four per TV is best!

So keep the votes coming!

Halo's got four so why should you be worried that Halo 2 won't have four?

Mostly because since Halo, no other game that I know of has been four players per Xbox for system link. I'm worried it's a trend that won't stop. I seriously would have bought tons of other games had they had the four player per Xbox capability. Plus, I'm excited about Halo 2, and I think this is the only thing that could ruin it for me!

True, any company that can produce Halo, sure isn't! (And I've sure thought some of the others were stupid for not having four per Xbox!)

Those other games don't ahve 4 because the developers don't have time (ora re too lazy) to try to code that in. Using one engine, it is tough to make it so screens can be displayed at the same time. Halo did perfectly and lag free, but it took some work!

True, but the extra time would have paid off, in my opinion anyways!

That was an odd question. But I mean why ARE you worried about it? Theres 4 in Halo, and theres going to be 4 in Halo 2. No questions asked.

I can't believe some people actually voted 2 or 3 players per box. It has to be 4.

In Unreal Championship you can have 4 per Xbox

MechAssult is NOT four per Xbox! I have it, so if it is let me know how to play it four per Xbox and I'll be in your debt!

The appropriate question is, "When the hell am I?"

No, it was good to ask. Splinter Cell 2 has System Link, but it doesn't allow ANY split screening. Because of the stealth it makes sense, but it proves that some companies feel they can leave it out with no consequences.

Halo 2 will have 4-player split screen I'm sure. Good question tho.

Yeah, and again with Splinter Cell 2, I would have baught it right away had it had the 4 player option. I know it is a stealth game, but still you could have each team on seporate TVs... Anyways, I'm glad you see where my concern comes from! And I'm glad that some people agree with me that it should be 4 per Xbox.

Okay, I'm just curious why anyone wouldn't want the ability to have up to 4 per Xbox? (This goes out to the few who did vote as such.
