You've read our hands-on impressions of Halo's impressive single-player modes, but there's much more to the game than that. As you might expect from a first-person shooter of such high profile, Halo also includes an extensive multiplayer mode. You can go head-to-head with one Xbox and one copy of the game with up to four players on a split screen. For 16-player LAN games, you'll need four consoles and four copies of the game, but organizing something of this sort will be well worth the effort. There's also a cooperative mode that allows two players to play through the game's story mode. The staying power of any first-person shooter relies on its multiplayer modes, and Halo features a wealth of options that will keep most anyone busy for weeks.
