As the title says I've figured out how to get 4 players on a campaign map
I tried to get pix but yelo didn't like having 4 controllers plugged in
Tried across LAN but it was a major fail, although fun to know we were the 1st ever people to play Halo 2 LAN Coop XD
And I was the 1st person in the world to have 4 player splitscreen coop >_>
As the description states...this can be achieved with exactly 6 dependency swaps lol...
The really great thing is by simply removing all the AI, scripts, cutscenes etc and adding the necessary multiplayer gizmo's...
Every Singleplayer map can be played as a Multiplayer map with perfect SLC
We're still working out the kinks for multiplayer...such as having a singleplayer menu
but I just thought I'd give everyone a heads-up
Yay for no more lengthy SBSP convertions!
And Double Yay for small patchs!

I'm trying this.
And it's amazing that nobody has even thought about using the method that you did. It's so simple.

So its campaign without the AI?
Isn't that just then an empty huge level?
You said you had to remove the AI, isn't that the whole main feature of campaign.
Or did I read it wrong?

I said you CAN remove the ai if you want and use them like normal maps or you can turn on yelo and play like its campaign XD

I'm not sure if I'm missing out on something here. How do I learn
to do this? What dependencies do I swap?
Thanks,

i'd redirect you to xzodia's scenario swapping thread, but i thought he was talking a different method.

Ok, so what has happened? I can obviosly see it's great, but cannot
test drive. So what I want to know is does this make it so I can
play say Metropolis in MP, with functioning AI, scripts and so on?
And I can play it with my buddies?

You have four people on the same Xbox, and you go to your MP list, and have newmombasa as an MP map. You can play it with four players, and it will have everything that the normal Campaign map does.

ok I can't breathe
This is possibly the greatest discovery since... something else that
that was great! Pat yourself on the back!
But it just seems so simple, how could we have missed it
all these years?

It's not as easy as just putting the map in the multiplayer part of the Main Menu, you've got to edit the map a little first.
xzodia will tell you how when he feels like it.
