You can't create a FFA private match with more than 2 people? That doesn't sound right to me...I'll have to go home and look at that tonight...but as far as I know and from games I've been pulled into you can have up to 12 players in a FFA private match.

OOOOOOOOOOO I get what you're saying now...

I thought you were using 2 xboxes in your house...you're trying to do split screen online multiplayer...

You can't do that. The game does not support online multiplayer of more than one person...ie no guests or multi signins. Sorry

Yea when playing online the general rule of thumb is:

1 MW2 character per Xbox.

So if you want 1vs1vs1vs1 then you need 4 Xboxs

MW2 restrictiveness fails again.

That may be true (I wouldn't know from experience, since I've never played any other CoD games online) but MW2 is the MOST restrictive of all of them by a longshot. Either way it blows.

It is indeed fun. But it could have been more fun.
