errrrrrm forgive me for being stupid but if system link co-op is in the game doesn't that practically mean that xbox live co-op is their as well seeing as the 2 normally go hand in hand?

It's definetly in there. I've seen a pirate screen (only of a menu, don't flame), and it said Xbox Live Co-op. And considering Black Arrow has it, Halo 2 should as well.
And if I remember correctly, the beta testers said there was an option for Co-op over Live, but they couldn't select it, obviously.

Yeah, since syslink co-op is in there, there's no reason to believe it wont be on Live too.

I've got 2 preorders lined up, but I must admit I've had a sneaky 5 min peak at the naughty version. Tbh, if it was in English I'd be playing it now, but I've waited this long, I can wait another few weeks for the English speaking version.

Who's going to go straight on Live when they get hold of it? Me, as much as I salivate at the Live aspect, for the first week or two its ALL about the single player mode.....besides, if you play it on Live you can guarantee that some US brat is going to scream spoilers down your earhole - some fat kid on rittilin(sp?) will probably have finished it on every difficulty in the few days between the US and EU release.

Good point. I was going to play on LIVE first but it make smore sense to finish the single-player, without overhearing numerous conversations revealing who the last boss is, all the plot twists etc.

yegon, what I meant was can you only get the limited edition through pre-order, will the shops be selling it in stores or not? I know it's likely to be sold out, but is it one of those 'availible for a limted time only or while stocks last' thingies?

Ah right, I see your point. I'm not sure, although I get the impression that if you get there early on day one SOME stores might have the odd one.

I preordered my LE today at Virgin, and the guy guaranteed me it - I should have done it *months* ago, but I'm a lazy sod and kept putting it off. I only preordered the normal version last week o_O

That said, I saw LE Zelda Windwaker on the shelves months after it was released.

>>>hmhm don't you see, they want you to think its going to be a best selling game, so you think you must have it.... cause everyone else will....
marketing.... hum

Bollocks. I'm buying it because I really want the game, and if a few extra quid gets me a making of dvd etc. what the hell. There are many others who will feel the same. I'm NOT buying it as an investment - like someone said, the normal versions are probably rarer ;)

It's going to be single player all the way for me for the first few days atleast, want to let all the bozo's get their 10 minutes before they get bored and sod off - plus after what apparentely happened with B3, I wudn't be surprised if Live gets smashed with so many people logging on at once.

No it ain't.

Then why I have clearly seen the option for it in the multiplayer sub-screens? I may be wrong, but there IS an option for it - maybe it refers to something else?

Like I've said, I've only had a brief dabble with the naughty version, not really tried anything beyond a quick look at whats on offer.

/is mystified, and prays that it is in there

Thank goodness I didn't read downwards - I just saw the word CUNT, and was careful not to read above it, phew.

Anyway, I was wrong about Syslink Co-op ;_; just checked it now and its only 2 on one console. Shame.

I have just put me pre-order in for HALO2 in my local GAME.

i had to put down £5 deposit which they say will be deducted off the price when i pay for it come november.

Well if there is one game that is hyped to the max on the 'box it has to be HALO2

well i'll let nature take its course now!!!

According to ign.xbox. Grrr.. again.

Should be interesting to see if this one breaks all the records for pre-sales, and sales.
