System Link allows for multiplayer gameplay on multiple consoles, providing an alternative to split-screen gameplay and supporting far more players in one game. Halo: Combat Evolved, through a combination of System Link and normal split-screen gameplay, allows up to 16 players to participate in a single match—four consoles, each showing four split screens. Later, post-Xbox Live games such as Halo 2 and Unreal Championship would support more than four consoles using System Link.
