makes sense, but then how can i play against someone on the same xbox. do i just not load a profile? its a major pita having to re-beat the game with the characters. well, i guess its not that bad since it gives me a reason to continue playing the single player game.
Yeah, just load up your profile that has your save game with player one. Then just play 2 player normally. Whatever you do, dont let them save (if it asks to select a save location)
Oh and the whole booting up the dash first, and then loading your profile, instead of just booting the game. The whole reason behind that is to keep the system from auto loading a different profile that may not have your save game on it (thus creating a new save, and erasing your old one).
