Can you play 2 player online in Modern Warfare 2 on the same xbox 360?

So basically, if i have a friend over, can we both play Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2(on xbox live) if we have 2 controllers on the same xbox?

Unfortunately you can’t. However you can play local split-screen with another person. Games like Halo and Left 4 Dead are able to do online multiplayer on one screen because their engine is designed inferior to other multiplayer games (ie.Call of Duty). Then they use the Xbox 360 hardware to upscale their games four times on one screen. Infinity Ward’s In-house engine is too complex that it can’t perform a task and do it four times on one screen.

    No. But you can play Spec Ops which is alot of fun.

    Left 4 Dead can be played online with two people which is alot of fun cause you play as the zombies with special abilities…

    Multiplayer, no. Co-op, yes.

    You can play multiplayer with eachother (splitscreen), but not with others online.

    It sucks. It’s not like Halo. I wanted the same thing. :/

    Co-Op, Private Match(online, I’ve played a 4 player private match over at a friends house), and Spec Ops are the only 3 types that will let you play together.
