Once you select Multiplayer you get the following options:

-(1) Cooperative ( Split Screen/System Link Co-Op ) [ 2 player max ]
-(2) Split Screen [ 4 players max ]
-(3) LAN Play [ 24 player max ]
-(4) Xbox Live [ 24 player max ]
-(5) Edit Gametypes

Here is a detailed discription of each:

First and foremost:XBOX LIVE
Once selected you get these options:
* Online Co-Op
* Online Regular multiplayer ( up to 24 opponents ) CTF, Slayer, Race, Oddball and King of the Hill.
* BattleGround: Halo
Battle as humans (SPARTAN Soldiers), vs alien ( covenant Elites ) in a ma$$ive online multiplayer battles. On modified maps from the Campaign mode, you and 11 friends vs 12 enemies battle it out complete with interactive air support from Pelican Warships and Phanton battle crafts, unbeleivable!

-Cooperative:

Once selected you get two options:System Link and Split Screen. Split Screen is the same as the original game, where you and a friend plow through the Campaign mode together on the same TV.
System Link allows you to play through the game with a friend on two different TV's and Xbox using a system link cable. You can also talk to each other using the Xbox live communicator if you'd like.

-Split Screen:

Been there done that, you and 3 other buddies kick each others butts, in games of CTF, Slayer, Oddball, King of the Hill and Race.

-Lan Play:

Hook up to 6 Xboxes together for up to 24(!!!) players, play all the regular gamemodes of CTF, Slayer, Oddball and Race.

The vehicles of Halo 2:
Returning
- The Warthog
- The Scorpion Tank
- The Ghost

New Human Vehicles:
- The Gauss Warthog [3 pa$$engers]
- The Rabbit ATV [1 pa$$enger]

New Alien Vehicles:
- The Banshee Aircraft [1 pa$$enger]
- The Shadow a$$ault Vehicle [3 pa$$enger]
- The Wraith Tank [1 pa$$enger]

Some of the new multiplayer Levels:

Hot Zone:

An medium sized outdoor level, that closely resembles the New Mombasa level featured in the E3 Demo. Consisting of twisting streets, bridges, towering buildings ( some which can be entered, for great sniping spots ), staircases and ledges with turrets. Guaranteed to take over Blood Gulch as the new favorite CTF level.

Amazonia

A dark,lush jungle level that resembles the "Timberland" level of Halo PC, but a whole lot better looking and atmospheric. Rolling Hills dotted with tall, thick rooted trees and winding paths between shallow rivers.

Inner Sanctum

A level inside the belly of the UNSC Cruiser Renaissance. Small strobe-lit corridors interconnect two large multi-level hangars with ma$$ive pressure lock windows with breathtaking vistas of planet Earth. Turrets on the second level make getting on top a critical necessity.

Levels returning from Halo: Blood Gulch, SideWinder, Hang'em High. Additionaly 2 levels of Halo PC are also availible: Death Island and Danger Canyon.

a. if there could be 24 people in a server, you would be competing with 23 people, not 24.

b. I believe the hard coded limit in XBL is 16.

Ah... Well I still doubt this 24 players thing, It's like HunterXI said, The limit of players is 16 on XBL.

Not likely, not past 2 player anyway, it would be more like coops, but I don't even know if that will be on XBL either, I guess we will have to see when it comes out... 8)
