Xbox 360 XBL - Multiple players online from one console?

Ok, I'm getting a 360 soon (yeah, I know, been under a rock) and was wondering if you can do online play with two people from one console? I fully intend on getting a XBL Gold sub, but idk if I can have two players from the same console connected. Basically my sister wants to play Halo 3 with me against the folks online. Is it possible, and would I need two XBL Gold subs or anything? I know there is some guest feature, but I think thats for a separate console. Ideas? Thanks.

 

You can do it with one sub but not every game supports split screen on XBL (very few actually). Halo does.

 

As long as Halo does, we will be happy campers

So how do I do this exactly?

 

When you go into a lobby you just have the other players (up to 3) sign in on either their own XBL gold account or if they don't have one they sign in as Guest

 

Does not work for Modern warfare 2 They think people will boost to much? LOL people still boost with or without a second player on the console..... Hope I helped.

 

Also guests get no stats and you cant play ranked games.

 

Yeh but you got to admit that one time you catch them boosting and take them out before a nuke is prob the best feeling in the world

 

Ahmen to that - mite make a nuke boost combo breaker montage xD

Can't think of any other game i've encountered that allows to online splitscreen, other than halo 3 actually. Would be interesting if you guys could tell me what others there are.

 

Borderlands does I believe but it requires each player to have a gold account I think

 

I love booster hunting. Once I find them I follow them into every game

 

All righty, I got teh console and XBL and got the whole guest thingy to work. We just said screw it and got two subscriptions. So anyone got any good game recommendations?

also, thread derailment.

 

I cannot think of one game bar Halo 3 and Borderlands that allows it. Which is rather annoying really. Would love to know if there are any more.

 

Bomberman on XBL Arcade allows it I think.

 

So far Halo 3 and Forza 3 allow it. What about MW2?

 

Nope, defo not.

 

Are you sure about Forza? I thought i'd tried it a few months back and failed miserably. But I may be wrong about that.

I agree there's nothing much beyond Borderlands and Halo that allow it though.

 

Left 4 Dead 1 and 2 come to think of it. But only 2 people can go on one console.

 

It works if you have xbox gold but its not funny, the screen get so small..
