All sounds and look awesome but I dont believe for one second there were any problems with MP co-op mode. We all know and have heard that the hype with Halo 3 is dropping drastically all the the time so in my eyes this was just another way of getting some much needed attention.

Wow. Just wow. I thought that I could not be any more excited than I already was awaiting the release of Halo 3. Boy, was I wrong.

I want to recreate that scene from Ghost with the pottery wheel with Bungie now.

THANK GOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The 4 person co-op makes Halo 3 all the better! No going to friends houses to play co-op, no having the same character, more help, more fun, more everything that we love about Halo. I am definatly getting Halo 3 legendary!

It's a good thing this is the last of the series, cause I don't know how you guys could top yourselves after this.

"Confine yourself to observing and you always miss the point of your own life. The object can be stated this way : Live the best life you can. Life is a game whose rules you learn if you leap into it and play it to the hilt. Otherwise, you are caught off balance, continually surprised by the shifting play. Non-players often whine and complain that luck always passes them by. They refuse to see that they can create some of their own luck."

Admittedly it's friggin awesome that the ability for 4-man co-op online is available. But why can't the option for four Spartans exist? I think the Covenant storyline in and of itself is really cool, but the dramatic arc of the series is about the Master Chief. When I play campaign mode, I want to be Master Chief. In multiplayer or whatever, it's fun to change around goof-off, but campaign is all about the Chief, so you should play as the Chief, no matter how many pals you're playing with. I think it's cool to offer the 'option' of if you wanna look like a Covenant you can, but it shouldn't be forced on players no matter the circumstance.

I too am ECSTATIC about FOUR player COOP. HOWEVER, there is NO reason Bungie couldn't have made FOUR SPARTANTS for this? I was hoping against all hope apparently, that the storyline would FINALLY contain other Spartans. We have all read the books and are hooked. We long to play as other Spartans along with the chief. Imagine being Fred, Linda or Kelly? How freaking AWESOME would that be? It would be ultimate. But I guess Bungie didn't see it that way? I am heartbroken over this. The Masterchief deserves to have camaraderie, some fellow Spartan companionship. It just couldn't be any more kick butt than have FOUR Spartans playing as a team, trained from childhood to work together. This is what Halo 3 needs. Bungie, are you listening???

  • 08.01.2007 9:22 AM PDT

definately thought that the fourth would be a marine, but no matter - four is ALWAYS better than two. Bungie so has to rule the world after this....

Customizable Elites, yes.

The actual Characters, no. MC or the Arbiter are not pickable in Multiplayer, we're all Spartans/Elites.

above and beyond expectations! that is what has made the Halo series so great.

Anti-Fail cream, the best recommended by Scientologists.

I just have to say that maybe the reason you have more elites and the arbiter is because they work together in the story ;-)
The storyline is essential in a game Bungie knows that (at last someone realizes!) When you play on legendary and one
person dies the level restarts... will this still happen? Or will the one person sit out?

  • 08.01.2007 10:04 AM PDT

Ok, everyone is happy about 4 player co-op, as am I, but additionally I want to thank Bungie for making my life longer. COS YOU ARE SLOWING DOWN TIME!!! with every announcement about Halo 3, every time the awesomeness increases, the timer to release date starts ticking a little bit slower. I am worried that time will just stop, broken under the weight of such anticipation. Seriously, I read the co-op announcement, and I swear my watch started ticking more slowly!

OK, I totally understand this from a gameplay setup that they should all have identical abilities. But dont you just think its a little wierd that a human spartan and an alien elite can jump the same height, walk the same speed, etc. etc.......

I kinda wish things were slightly different, but thats just me. I wish there were some advantage to being player 3, or player 4. Even if it was you spawned with a certain weapon set. Aka, Rockets, or Sniper. Maybe Brute Shot, I dont know. I think it would be fun to have the difference between characters even if it is as simple as weapon spawn.

Understanding that the idea was to delve deeper into the fiction available for the Halo universe, I am forced to wonder why wasn't either a Spartan-III or any other members of the Spartan-II's used? Personally, I think that the sudden usage of a larger number of Elites may not fit too well, primarily because I'm sure most Elites still haven't accepted humans as realistic allies, being that they are of a "Technologically inferior" race. Even going into the end of Halo 2, the elites seemed to be begrudgingly assisting the humans, not willingly and happily. I hope there is a story referance somewhere that will close that particular gap. Outside of that one suggestion, THIS ROCKS!!!!!!!
