    New Things I've Learned About Halo 2

    Probably old news to a lot of you, but for those that don't know:

    It's well known that up to 16 players can battle in an online game, but did you know that as many as 4 players per an Xbox can play utilizing the split screen?

    When you get 5 kills in a row without dying you will be awarded a medal at the end of the match. This is only available in multiplayer, and there are other awards that are given out.

    New clan features include the originator of the clan becoming it's overlord, with the power to promote, invite, and expel other players. You can demote your clan member all the way to peon or promote him all the way to staff. Your clan can also customize its own homepage on Bungie.net.

    The rocket launcher has longer delays and slower rockets, but can now lock onto vehicles.

    Invisibilty has better visual effects.

    Plus the enviroment can get blown up and shifted around.

    On legendary when playing co-op when one person dies...you are automatically taken back to the last checkpoint.

    The sniper rifle has recoil and is harder to make crack shot after shot.

    Warthogs either come equipped with the .50 caliber...or with a rocket launcher.

    Plus lots more...going to be great !
    - The true measure of a man is how he treats someone who can do him absolutely no good.

                Question. Can you play 4 player split screen online over XBOX Live? Because I was about to cancel my pre-order Saturday(only because my friend is getting it) and I asked the clerk if you can play split screen on XBOX Live and she said NO. I should smack her.

                    Not sure, but I don't see how that would be fun, the framerate would be like 10 for each for person.

                        Yes, at least according to the magazine article:
                        [Possible for up to 16 players in Halo 2, with as many as four combatants playing splitscreen on any one XBox over XBox Live]

                        I wasn't even considering the framerate slowdown, but I guess there would be some. At most I'd play with a screen split in half.

                            Well thats kinda what I was hoping to do. Just play 2 player split screen over XBOX Live. The lady at EB told me I could'nt and that I would need the link cable. But I just thought about it. There is no way for me to hook up a link cable and go online unless I had a router. So she was wrong. That biatch!! I wanted my 10 bucks back.
