I'll see you in the game.

All I have to say is AWESOME! this then brings up a question, Will the new characters be available in online multiplayer (non Co-Op)?????

If the elites have the same ability as the chief, then what about flashlights and active camouflage. If the elites do still have camo, then the two new ones have "new" armor and their camo should last forever.

ballers for halo has a good point, except we know that only the elite on the right has the armor that everlasting camo. The one on the left, who is by far the coolest looking elite ever, we dont know what his special thing is. It could be some totally new thing. But i guess i just have to play the game before making assumptions. Man that update got me horny though....

"Cotton thwaps him with the Gravity Hammer, Frankie flies through the air, blood splattering from his corpse, his head snapping back on the ceiling, leaving a bloody imprint on a light fixture and then his body skitters into a gravity lift and is boosted up into the Yellow room."
i love Bungie.

i love you bungie. with a burning passion. marry me?

the elites look great. i like how you guys went with the realism of four different characters... and back stories, pretty dern cool.

EDIT: Just thought of this... such a great update... just makes me wonder how great the Weekly Update might be this Friday. word.

A witty signature you say ! ? well at the moment i have nothing witty that springs to mind, so sory..................nope still nothing.......


This is fantastic news! Four player co-op is going to make for some cool tactical and different game play. I would have replied to this update earlier but for some wired reason my internet wasn't working this morning. Downloaded the pod cast, look forward to listing to that later. I really like the elite on the right, the detail on the armour is cool, with the covenant markings. awesome stuff, and as Luke said, well done to all the test, engineering, production and design teams that made this happen, Great job Bungie ! The Tru7h never sounded so sweet.

This visage, no mere veneer of vanity, is it vestige of the vox populi, now vacant, vanished,....... this valorous visitation of a by-gone vexation, stands vivified, and has vowed to vanquish these venal and virulent vermin van-guarding vice and vouchsafing....... The only verdict is vengeance; a vendetta, held as a votive, not in vain, for the value and veracity of such shall one day vindicate the vigilant and the virtuous.......so it is my very good honor to meet you and you may call me V

Forgive me for asking this if its been already asked. Will the other Elites be included in the Cutscenes or will it olny be MC and maybe the Arbiter sometimes? Cause this is a great way to almost change up the story alittle when you play co-op. I mean it could be something along the lines of the Arbiter telling MC hes bringing some talanted soldier along (These new Elites) and they could be included in the story as well.

I'm just hoping they're not left out if your playing co-op in the cutscenes. After that, this sounds great. However i will be playing the game all by myself the first time through to soak up the story and then go co-op with some buddies to get some achievements and some tactical fun

The fact that they've confirmed 4-player Coop is great, but I have 1 minor gripe. Why not have one of the Covenant Elites be 1/2 Jaw from Halo 2. He was such a cool side character! I would love to have the opportunity to play as him!

This is the best news since the September release date!!! I LOVE Halo co-op - my brother and I play it all the time and now that we can do it online it's going to be even better! With 4 players going at it I can't even imagine how amazing that's going to be. Bungie you rock!

  • 08.01.2007 12:34 PM PDT

<3 Life! Thanks Bungie

But which Elite is which? Is the Blue one the Security Guard and Purple the Spec Ops? or vice versa?

"Our Arrows will Blot out the sun." "Then we will fight in the shade"
This is my favorite line from 300 THAT MOVIE RULEZ ALL

may i just say that while many of us have been expecting 4 player coop its just not the same as actually having it confirmed and.....I FREAKIN LOVE YOU GUYS SO MUCH...sorry lol i do have one question though why not another Spartan like Linda or Kelly or one of them because that would be sweet and no i am not ashamed to reveal that i would gladly play as a girl spartan.....its not that big of a deal it just wouldve been cool to play as one of the other spartans ..oh yea i also wanted to put my opinion of one of the reason replayability will be high...maybe the achievements will be like in Gears of War where you have to play through the entire campaign as each character to get all the achievement points...hmm MAYBE SO MUWahaHAHAHAHAHAH

I hate signatures :)

Give my regards to those guys "in the back" who've put a truly outstanding effort into making this feature possible. You guys just made Halo 3 an even better game, thank you!

IM thinking, perhaps the reason why in co-op (as of now) you cant play as a marine, is perhaps because the marines (besides Johnson) dont quite trust the elites enough? But Master Chief has had experiences w/ the Arbiter (albeit few) so he knows they share a common goal. I love this announcement, more for the system link than for the online co-op. Because while Bungie may add plenty of baddies to keep four players busy, some of my only friends that have live are too good and it would be quite boring, however, when my other friends come over, although I am a bit better than them (and yes, yes, i understand that Halo 3 is not Halo 2, so dont yell at me for that), we're more equal and we focus more on the enjoyment of the game than beating it as fast as possible. That's what excites me. And who ever said that this Friday's update is going to rock, I do believe you are correct. Man, I just...Bungie, you have my heart.

Thank you, thank you, thank you
