Master Cheif is not the last spartan though. Ther are at least 5 other Spartans in the Halo Universe stilll alive, not to mention the Spartan III's. What about them?

Well, all the surviving SPARTAN-III's and II's, except for John-117, Maria-062 are inside Onyx, inside slipspace, and they can't come out from what I understand. Not for a long time anyway. The remaining SPARTAN-II's that possibly are alive are far away from Earth. The only one we know on Earth are Maria-062, and she is probably the only one besides John-117. Fred, Will, Kelly and Linda was sended to Onyx from Earth, and my guess is that they were all the SPARTAN-II's on Earth.

Yes, but there is Gamma Company, except for Teams Saber, Gladius and Katana. All the others were deployed to an unnamed battlefield just before the Sentinels attacked. A lot of people miss that.

Wow, I like the new characters! But that hardley seems fair that you can only have two people per screen. Oh well, if you know it won't work, it won't work. But I would like to be able to play as the new elites. Oh well.

Covenant sidekicks? Makes one curious about the campaign story line, considering that this'll be your co-op lineup from the start.... Also, no parallel story lines, jumping back and forth between Spartan and Covenant perspectives?

More importantly, what of all those recent images in the gallery depicting alternate, but still Spartan-like (and certainly humanoid) armor? I thought for sure these would be the co-op alternate characters to choose from....

Any ideas?

Oh this sucks I hate the elites, what about Sgt Johnson he's a Spartan I or Spartan 062 they should be a playable characters not some dorky elite.

OK, 2 things:
1. SGT Johnson isn't a Spartan, what gave you that crazy idea?
2. So what? Elites are still kinda cool, especially the one in the back?

Another cool idea would be to use your multiplayer skin in co-op, Vegas style!

Four player CO-OP is an awesome feature, but I really do NOT want to play as an elite, I hated playing as one in halo 2. I understand some people like the idea, but I want to play as a human(ish) soldier with human weapons. Surely we should be given the choice? Maybe we could play as 'new' spartan made after reach fell and kept secret, or just regular humans in spartan like armour? It wouldnt be that hard to figure out. I would rather have a choice and play how i want then have a character thats been forced into the storyline thrust upon me. If were fighting to save humanity, I want to be human.

Please bungie, at least give us the choice. I really hated that pink HUD....

To play or not to play....

Excellent update... Moooost excellent.

Yet again Bungie have given us something cool. This feature was expected but Bungie has done it in a familar yet original manner. All together now lets give three cheers for the Bungie mob (I left the g out there for a second I was cheering a mob of bunie *hmm*).

I wouldn't mind having a mode where different character had different abilities. But alas we can not have everything in life eh. I am in no way complaining I am just asking :). Otherwise all Halo 3 so far is seriously soooo seriously coooool. So cool I needed to put on three jumpers and five pairs of track pants just to read this update.

One word summary.

Schweet.

i personally think this is an AWESOME idea, this game will be THE GAME OF THE YEAR!! no lies...

and to people who don't like playing as elites, and suggest marines/ODSTs or any other character with NO SHIELDS, it just wouldn't make sense.

thanks again bungie...now all i need to get is another 75 dollars for another year of xbox live lol

Sweet!!! Now that's how you shut the internets up! Not only does it have online co-op, but it's twice as good as any online co-op out there now! Hopefully the internets can stop complaining now.

As if it wasn't cool enough that we're getting 4 player coop, the screen that came with it is by far the most incredible Halo 3 screen yet. The HDR lighting and photorealistic mountains and clouds are unbelievable!

The Sentinel Beam isn't excluded from Matchmaking due to any performance concerns. It's excluded because it's ridiculous. It may as well be firing super-accelerated clowns. - Shishka

I freaking love you guys.

The less than a second latency of online play is a better system to play off of than more health.

You realize this system is just as host based, right? because if you're fighting host, or someone with a better connection to host, and you each start firing at the same time, his BULLETS will register first, giving him slightly more health if the melees happen at the same time.

So would you rather have the BS of both, or just one?

Wow, now i'll just rewind my mind back a couple months to when this would be considered new.
