Could someone please tell me if Halo has Computer AL bots in Multiplayer mode?? I have 2 controllers but fighting in these massive areans with just 2 players is stupid. Any ideas?? Thanks :D

No AI bots in Halo. I find that when my friends come over for split screen we never play the game seriously. We have more fun on Blood Gulch just raming vehicles and throwing plasma greneades. Even on link up we mess about, even if theres 4 of us. I find Halo a mess around game, as I dont think we have hardly played a proper game in multi-player, just spents hours and hours messing about.

Nope, you need real people unfortunately :)

By the way, go out and get the new X Gamer magazine, has a free Halo guide by Prima that used to be on sale for £12.99, the magazine only costs £3.49 and has a free DVD with it as well - Bargain.

NO, read the question - Can 2 people with *2* X-boxes play cooperatively on *2* different Tellies (rather than split screen).

I'll fire up the xbox for you and check.

It appears as though you cannot play co-op mode over the system link. The options for multiplayer were only:

Co-op
Multiplayer on 1 box
System link

Meaning the co-op mode was a different menu option.

how do u link Xbox`es then via the ethernet port?, using RJ 45 crossover cable, any one used a 4 port Hub, if so did that work?

You link Xboxes in the same way you would with a PC, crossover cable for two boxes, or a hub for more than 2 boxes (up to 4)
