Posted by: odin1156
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
you know what thats a good point for people who have no life i just wanna play the game

My 360 just DIED! 3 red lights of DEATH!
I'll get it fixed for free...in 4 to 6 weeks.

So this is the first time that I'm HAPPY that Halo 3 is coming out in 8 weeks! ROFL!

Elites are homosecktual. Who wants to be the enemy? Oh are they coming around to our side?? who cares.

Why can't we be these guys? Hell, why can't we use our master chief suits in campaign?
Bungie still shows they're slackin'.

And I take it there wont be any levels where you're the arbiter and you're fighting against marines or other elites?
If so is the chief going to be there? I don't get why in Chief parts players 2-4 can't be marines and Arbiter parts 2-4 can't be elites.
Can the 3 elites turn invisible and the chief can't??

I think it's just lame to not have two chiefs. This whole "there aren't two chiefs" is crap. 90% of halo is multiplayer which is always 2 or more chiefs. Halo = 2 chiefs, halo 2 = 2 chiefs, Halo 3 = 1 chief and 3 elites.... You guys going to redo 1 and 2 so there aren't 2 chiefs?
Who the hell thought it'd be a good idea to use elites????
"I got it guys! we got badass looking marines, but we'll make up some limp-wristed arbiters for co-op!! They'll be super spectacularly awesomeness!!!"

I hope for the best. My friend got his replaced and that one crapped out on him as well. He ended up missing the Beta. Now I'm getting my old one replaced (thanks a lot, Forza 2), and it's taking a lot longer than I anticipated. And I just sent it out today!

I wasn't expecting 4 player, but certainly 2.

Well done guys and I can't wait to see this come out.

Jason Jones of Bungie famously said of Halo 2 that: "it's Halo 1 on fire going 120 miles per hour through a hospital zone chased by helicopters and ninjas. And the ninjas are all on fire too." As a sequel, Halo 2 couldn't quite live up to that extravagant claim.

Yes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 4 player online co op!!!! I call the purple one!!!! This is going to be awesome. Sqaud based combat where we can all take a role and fight like a team its just what ive been praying for. Thanks Bungie!!!!!!!!!!!!!

well the thing is elites arent too bad of an idea but..come on. you know the campign games are never going to start because everyones gonna argue "i wanna be the cheif!!!!!" and so on. so i think the elite thing is a good idea if they are an option. i think the options should be, cheif, marine, and the other 3 types of elites or maybe more than one option of marine and for the chief it should be the choices of his new armor in multiplayer. come on bungie. please!!!!!!

This is insane... as if halo 3 needed anything else already... I am not exaggerating when i say this is easily game of the decade or even the next decade as well......... now i have to go through the torture of waiting for september 25th to roll around. hmm i am wondering tho if online coop will make achievements easier to get...

Bungie knew way sooner than they let us know that this was going to be a feature in the game. They wanted to keep us all in a state of anxiousness until they revealed it as a guaranteed option.

There is doubting that Bungie was at some point unsure of its inclusion into the game, but like lukems said, they have been playing it for quite some time; just wanted to cross "t"s and dot "i"s.

I have been working my friend and brother into buying a 360 in time for the Halo 3 release. With this announcement, I convinced my friend to buy a 360; he has jumped on the bandwagon. Still working on my bro, but I know he is leaning towards it even more now that online co-op is confirmed.

Thanks Bungie. You truly do kick our asses.

I'm not complaining, however...You know there are gonna be plenty of gamers trying to be player 1 so they can be master chief instead of an elite. I don't mind being an elite, in fact, they look much improved visually from halo 2. I can just see this being an issue for kids who just HAVE to be a spartan.

Obviously you missed the "to avoid the story complication of two cheifs in co-op" part, or your just a whiner who can't appreciate a gift. I assume you complained that the car your parents bought you was the wrong colour, and that you weren't born with super powers. Shoo, this is America, begone you minority! Conform with the masses that love this as you should!
