Online play has its advantages though... You learn to play with lots of different people so over all your play style and skill are increased. Also for those banshee freaks who can't wait for Halo 2 it's a nice way to play Multiplayer with Banshees. Also handy if you're too lazy to go to a friend's house to play halo... just school em onine.

In conclusion: All the bullshit reasons I just made up? Are just because I don't have an Xbox.
