Halo 3: 4 player campaign co-op

[C-Kwik]

Despite negative press about problems with online co-op, looks like they were just making sure things were working for a much bigger plan. I'm pretty excited...

Quote »The Tru7h About Co-Op in Halo 3 Posted by lukems at 7/31/2007 1:49 PM PDTIt’s time for us to sack up and tell you what’s what regarding online co-op.

So you were probably wondering why we didn’t want to commit to two player co-op online over Xbox Live. We certainly got plenty of mail asking, no, demanding that we make it happen. Of course we were working on it, but we were also working on something better. Not two player co-op. Not three-player co-op, but up to four player co-op. Online. On Xbox Live, or sure, System Link if you prefer.

That is correct – up to four player co-op in Campaign mode on Xbox Live or System Link.

We’ve been playing it for quite some time, and bluntly, having some of our greatest ever Halo experiences. We wanted to make sure all our “t”s were crossed and our “i”s dotted before unveiling this important new part of Halo 3’s Campaign mode. [/quote]

Coop was the only reason I bought Halo 2. I'm glad they've improved on it for Halo 3, especially in giving more thought to who players 2-4 get to play as. No magical disappearing doppelgängers this time.

I just hope they have increased the scale of the firefights to make a 4 player co-op exciting.

i cant wait till halo 3 on live!

[Loki]

That's just awesome. I'm glad they're actually putting in Live Coop. Makes everything so much fun.

Indeed. They've always hinted at large scale NPC battles throughout the series though so I wouldn't doubt they will.

Just got back from BestBuy...preordered my copies of GTA4 and H3. Hope you all have off that day :p I'll only have one evening class I believe.

BTW, what're we running? Legendary?

No other way to go. I don't care what is happening that day. I'm not going.

When the rumor mill had cranked out that bungie was having problems with online co-op, they quoted bungie telling them there were issues with if a player got in a warthog with some marines and were a mile away, there were issues. Or something like that anyways. Either way, everything hints at large scale gameplay.

[Loki]

I can't wait to run a few skirmish games with the Elephant. That things gonna be fun

I got one question though...what time are you guys actually getting the game? I have mine preordered from Best Buy, so I have to wait til 9 or 10 when they open, unless they are doing some super special midnight release.

[redtop91]

I'm sure they will do a midnight release as they did for Halo 2. At least they did one at Gamestop where mine is pre-ordered. But yeah, I'll be online at exactly 12:30 AM CST.

Well I hope you guys have a good time. If you guys decide that you are up to the challenge for some online matchmaking. You can take on some of the dysfunctional guys, but I will warn you we were all symbols in the 2nd one legit. Anyway my gamertag is

dF OhZee

Hit me up if you think you are up to the challenge.

[redtop91]

You must not have heard about me... I made symbol legit after modding and bridging started I'd be happy to pwn you guys.

[Zee]

You must not have heard about me... I made symbol legit after modding and bridging started I'd be happy to pwn you guys.

lol I did it twice on two different accounts before modding and after. Of course I did do it a little odd. My symbol was in slayer before modding and everything, and after the modding I did it in Skirmish. Honestly I suck at slayer, but I own at objective games and my team can do the killing. Just so you know we have been together playing different games for almost 3 years. My friend and I have been playing games together for almost 6 years!

Anyway just hit me up. I won't accept it till tomorrow, but nonetheless. There you go.

[bmike818]

Let the Halo ish talk start! i will be on 12:30am West Coast time.

if I see you guys shooting at each other, I might just send a grenade over to make sure you guys have a blast

was that your kill? sorry but that's MY KILL ...lol can't wait

[Loki]

I'm sure they will do a midnight release as they did for Halo 2. At least they did one at Gamestop where mine is pre-ordered. But yeah, I'll be online at exactly 12:30 AM CST.

I'll give em a call next week to see if they are. How about this though: those who get the game earlier screw around in multiplayer until the others are available for Coop?

Oh, and the highest I ever got was 27 in slayer =( Ryon's seen me play though, he knows how good I am...

[Loki]

Meh. I just talked to my mom and she's being a ***** about this. She doesn't want me driving, so she won't let me go pick this up myself. She's making me wait til she gets it Tuesday afternoon. ****ing drunks are messing up my life.

[redtop91]

Pwnt. Tell her you demand she take you at midnight or else...

[bmike818]

Get it at Midnight if you like Nissans!

[Loki]

Pwnt. Tell her you demand she take you at midnight or else...

She works. No way she'd ever take me. And lucky me, I have no friends going to get this game that aren't away at college. Maybe we can just arrange to start Coop about 5 est on tuesday?

[redtop91]

Pfffft. Love ya Lok. But not that much...
