Post-it Halo

This Idea is so stupid it's genius, it's for those of us who cant afford Xbox live yet still want the ability to use stealth tactics and hide from your opponent. MoutainDewroo and I thought it up. There only difference from X-box Live is that your opponent is sitting right across from you!

What you need:

Halo 2
A relatively small Tv
Post -its (Preferably super sticky)

This approach, unfortunately does not work on the original Halo, for is has no vertical split screen abilities. These insructions are for Halo 2.

First, so this will work, depite how small your Tv is, set the video option to [i]Widescreen mode.[/i] THis will make split screen tornaments verticle.

Then, set up a basic two player split screen game, with who ever sitting with the TV to his left to have the left side of the screen. He will have to be the Host. He'll be considered Player one. The other player will sit oppisite the host and be player two, therfore Having the right side of the screen. Where the contollers a plugged in is not relevent,

Once the game is up, it's time to set up the Post-its straight down the middle! They shoud be two by two; attached as close to the middle of the screen as possible. Then when the are all the way down the screen attatch more post-its to the post-its at the base to make the "Post it wall" thicker so that you cannot see the other side of the screen. It's imprtant that you see nothing of your opponent's side as if they were two seperate TVs. Take a look at the primative example below.

But why go through all the trouble?....well as silly as this idea sounds it's most definitely worth your while! You can unleash a whole armada of tactics aganst your enemy. You can Hide, sneak, snipe, watch, and stalk your oppnent, all of which are impossible with normal split screen. Your motion sensor is now you most valuble asset.....you walk nervously around, having no idea where you enemy is.....them BAM!
You are dead intantly! That unmoving tank was occupied and you had no idea!

Post it Halo was suprisingly exiting and we couldn't get enough of it! It saves money on Xbox Live, too. The only drawback is that it works only with two player mode and you have to be sitting at an angle with your TV. And sometimes the post-its fall off.

The Players sit on oppisite sides of the "Post-it wall" and therfore are compleatly unaware of each other's actions. The only clue....perhaps...is what the other player is doing with the controller.

Try It!

or perhaps you could get of your lazy poor ass and become prostitutes to properly afford two tvs, seperate housing, two x-boxes and x-box live. Grr!
