I don't understand why bungie didn't add that capability, and I was very displeased. If anyone knows why (or preferably works for bungie) please enlighten me.

Basically the jist is, the way the entire game works does not support the functionality. 2 machines coordinating flawlessly AI movement, map loading/warping, etc. just isn't realistic with the multitude of things that CAN go wrong on the connection.

In other words, it wouldn't have been as good as Bungie would have liked it to be, and they are perfectionists so they cut the idea.

Oh, and look in the Zanzibar forum for multiplayer gaming. There's tons of threads wihich explain this is more depth.

Oh, and you don't want to invoke the wraith of Shiska.

I think they explained at some point that although at first it sounds like an easy thing to do, in reality there is a lot of data to transfer and its not really workable at present.
