I'm sure this is in an official thread somewhere, but can 4 people play online multiplayer in COD4? And if so, can they sign in as guests under one gold account?

Unfortunately no.

You should be able to play with guests in private matches if you can find enough people.

Damn, that sucks. Thanks for the info though.....

Guess the "1-4 players" on the box is for deathmatch type games on one box......takes me back to Goldeneye.

nope one per screen multiplayer

You can only play 4 person multi-player locally or system link in COD 4.

RTRic - can you confirm this for system link? I thought it went to one per box on system link...? So, no 8 players w/ two 360's linked...right? (I don't have the game - would like to know.) Thanks.
