    In short, System Link Play takes Split Screen mode to a new level. Basically, System Link Play allows you to connect up to 4 Xbox systems together for massive multiplayer madness. If you have 4 Xbox systems hooked up, as many as 16 people can play at one time! The same levels and gametypes available in the Split Screen mode are also available in System Link Play. Additionally, the same general strategies used in Split Screen may be applied to System Link Play. There are also a few advantages, such as the ability to play against multiple opponents while using one television per Xbox. This simply allows the player to enjoy the entire Multiplayer experience without having to put up with a smaller screen.

    To Start System Link Play...
    If you would like to connect just two Xbox systems together, you will only need an Xbox System Link Cable. If you would like to connect three or four Xbox systems together, you will need an Ethernet hub and regular Ethernet cables. So, before you turn on the Xbox systems:

    1) Physically connect two Xbox systems to each other using the Xbox System Link Cables, or...

    2) Connect up to four Xbox systems using Ethernet cables to plug them into a 10Base-T Network.

    Power up all of the Xbox systems, and when the main menu appears, select the [Multiplayer] option on each of them. From the Multiplayer menu, select the[System Link Play] option. Then, every player must select a Profile. Halo then attempts to find a game. If no game is found, you may start one yourself. The person that starts the game will need to choose the level and gametype. When everyone is ready, simply press [A] for the fun to begin!

    NOTE: The online Halo Multiplayer over GameSpy is also played through the System Link option. But since I have not tried this, I will not be able to discuss this further. For more information on Halo's online play, please visit:
