| I had a guest playing Halo 2 online with me the other night. He brought over
his headest and module, but he couldn't speak/hear through it. The speaker
icon next to his name in Live showed it as if it was disabled. I thought
Guests could do this? Anyone want to enlighten me?

He would have to bring his XBL account with him as well.

| So it is possible to take your live account with you and play with your
gamertag on multiple machines? If so, how is this done? Sorry if this is a
stupid question.

| I don't think its a stupid question, I was wondering the same thing myself.
I've read multiple postings etc. but can't get official word. Bungie states
that you can have one gamertag with up to 3 guest accounts.
So am I correct in assuming that two seperate gamertags can't play on the
same xbox at one time?

| I do believe it isn't a problem to have 2 gamertags signed in to one Xbox at
the same time provided they both exist on the xbox. What I'm not sure about
is this: Can I create my Xbox Live account on my Xbox, and then somehow take
my account with me to a buddy's house so we can both play Xbox Live using
our seperate gamertag? So basically, can I play with my own gamertag on
multiple Xboxes? Thanks in advance,
Rob

| You need a memory card. Just go to xbox settings and copy the account to
the card and then on the other machine do the oposite. Doing this will also
allow you to play in ranked games. The ranked/guest stuff is BS but its the
only way to get it working.

You can only store one XBL account on a MU, and the gamertag can only be
used on one Xbox at a time. Halo 2 supports up to four XBL accounts on
Live! at the same time.

Many games support multiple XBL accounts on one Xbox at the same time. Halo
2 supports up to four.

| Thanks Bill! I figured it may work with a memory card, but wasn't positive
that the Live accounts weren't tied to a specific machine. That's good to
hear.
I'm assuming that two accounts signed in can play in the team ranked games,
but probably not the head-to-head or rumble pit, right? Doing so could open
up things to lots of cheating, so I'm guessing bungie won't allow that.
Thanks again,
Rob

You're right!

| Yea, rumble pit is off and so is head to head. But again if you wanted to
play head to head there is no need to play on xbox live. It would be cool
if there was a way to play all games but just turn of ranking. It sucks
that they limit you to certain games. An option to FIND and play against
other 2 or 3 player teams would be cool too.

It is totally possible to have multiple gamertags in use on one Xbox at the
same time. My wife and I play Live! games that way quite often.

| Yesterday I bought at an ebgames store a xbox live headset adaptor wich let
you connect to your currently subscribed live account three more headsets
that come with the bundled $19.95 kit that consist of 3 headsets that
connect along with your own live headset to an included 4-multiple-port
thingie that plugs into one of your memory ports in your xbox controller. I
haven't use it yet, but I already opened the box and checked the contents.
You need one live account and an original live headset. I couldn't find it
online on ebgames. The box says that it works by allowing three friends to
hear and be heard online using just one live account. All will be connected
to one controller, though, so you have to be at least in the same room (I
don't know how long are the cables). Also, it says that you can hear each
other as a team through a "local channel", but I don't know what good does
this do if everybody is in the same room. Anyway, I'm going to use this
gadget this weekend, because I full of work right now. I hope it works.
Best regards,
Lalo Márquez-Blake
