Nope. You need two accounts, both with live. That means you have to pay twice.

A way to get around this problem is to make a new account and get the free 1 month trial of Xbox Live. Then you can play split-screen online.

You can but you need your own live account, but you can create a new account and get 1 month free if you really want (or actiate yours online if you havent for a 1 month trial)

If one of you has a Gold account, you can have the other sign in as a guest and you can play together that way.

dont listen to him...he doesnt know what he is talking about...OF COURSE you can play split screen with one account on live!!!!! just sign the second player as a guest by pressing "Y" in the multiplayer mode

lol as long as you play with the main holder of the account...

example...

silentkill123 = Main account user

(1) silentkill123 = guest from main account user

thats what it basically shows when you play on live with other people on splitscreen with ur friend

This can only be done on Player Match...so right after you select Player Match, press "Y" to sign in the guest.
