How will online play work if Xbox Live is no longer the system that Halo 2 Vista will use?
Bungie is implementing a new system called Live Anywhere, which is, supposedly, a service similar to Xbox Live and will bring matchmaking to H2V players. It is stated that we will be able to do all the things we could do before: system links for local connections, global online play, and dedicated servers. Bungie has stated that there will be no ranking or player stat tracking systems for Halo 2 Vista, nor will it offer clan support. It will still offer some options that should be recognizable to anyone, such as inviting your friends or having others join you.
