Normal people worrry me.
Laggy people bug me.
And you just plain take the cake.
Seriously though eat some cake.

Alas my life is torn asunder, my kind have been betrayed once again, though it shall finally be the ruin of us all for now, we are thought of as an unimportant minority.

I send this to absolutely beg for Bungie to help out this poor soul in his absolute crisis. All my life I’ve envied those that can afford to get the internet (Okay, not that expensive but say that to a kid who doesn't even get pocket money and want's so badly what his parents refuse) . It’s absolutely the highest point of gaming, always someone to play with, always lots more available to an online player. I absolutely LOATHE that so many promising Xbox360 games have gone to online or system link multiplayer only (Chromehounds, Shadowrun to name the most disappointing of them, though they aren’t Bungie titles, they were promising looking titles.) For a year and a half I’ve been saying to myself, Bungie won’t do that to me, Bungie will not do that to me and upon hearing the news of four player co-op play I am absolutely ecstatic, but then oh so suddenly find that I’m once again wholly betrayed (Of course not personally). Why must Bungie taunt my poor soul and the thousands of other people who are stuck offline, in many cases due to money without a friend who can system link with you.

I am sitting here nigh in tears that this one thing that I was relying on to stay constant when everything else in my life turns south. I feel so utterly betrayed and know that no matter how much I hope for it, bungie with Halo3 and my very last hope (unreal tournament 3) I'm going to get ripped off for split screen play at every turn. This is especially important to me as I have a twin and because of that I always feel bad when playing those absolutely awesome single player games (Fable 2, Mass effect and assassins creed to name some upcoming ones) and he's just watching. He's not going to miss out for Halo 3, but I sure as hell hate it that you aren't going to give us (No we aren't a minority yet) offline players the same decent gameplay options. You aren't considering the huge market of people who have friends who have PS3's, still can't get the 360 themselves or simply want to play together.


I beg you now please don’t do this to us, this is absolute hell being in my spot....but I guess you don’t realise that so much not having to quite deal with a single percent of the hardships that I’ve been through let alone the many others who are far worse off.

WEll I'd just about forgot this was even a possibility and what do yah know, dreams can come true. I'm very excited about this, I feel all Halo fans should be. Also keep in mind that Bungie has now raised the bar yet again and future games will most def copy this type of multi-play. I just hope you who are belly aching cuz they aren't ODST's wah wah wah get over yourself and quit your whining; this is a big deal and the truth is, although the ODST's looking freaking awesome, they aren't as hardy as Elites, so if I'm MC, who do I want at my back? Elites or ODST's who I probably have to look after? Enough said. And quit bashing Gears of War, its an awesome game which has done extremely well and will continue to do so. Take care

NO OTHER SPARTAN!?

I'm somewhat disappointed.

This is a good opportunity to introduce at least one.

I think it will equal things out.

2 Spartans 2 Elites.

I hope you can at least choose...

liek omg u guyz...

omg ponies (ok ya it aint that bad imo)

GRRR IM RIGHT UR WRONG AND GHEY LOLOLOL UR GHEY

lova ya internet, never change :D

Apparently people are still complaining...lol. You got your co-op on live be happy, not to mention 4 players.

Anyway, great update. I can't wait to play this game, both single and multiplayer modes. Since we have seen the new Spartan armor variants, the ones for Elite characters should be pretty cool too.

If you want to be human, host or play solo as the Chief. Simple as that. Playing as marine/ODST would suck, have fun getting 1 shotted by carbines, beam rifles, and other weapons enemies have that are capable of headshots.

sigh...

The 3 elite looks cool, but the arbiter now looks badass. im definetly going to be the arbiter or 3 elite, or master chief or... ARRGGHHH! ill be anyone! absolutely amazing. My wall has turned brown.
Those graphics are fantastic. It looks so real. it looks weirdly too real...

I am so glad that online co-op is finally being used. It's great to see that you actually care about it too, like giving the ability to free-roam seperate from the group. And up to four? That is just awesome. I have been waiting for this for years, since the days of the Nintendo 64. Fantastic!

seriously dude whats your problem??? its not like they made it so you cant play the campaign offline they didnt take anything away whatsoever all they have done is added the ability for 4 friends over xbox live to play the campaign together.Im not exactly sure what you want them to fix its baffling i mean it sounds as if you believe that you will be unable to play the game without being online or being system linked. I assure you that you and your twin will be able to play campaign together or even play a 1v1 custom game if you want without having xbox live or any sort of internet connection..I seriously dont know what your problem is.....also noone needs to hear the sob stories no offense but most people dont read all the posts and thos that do will criticize or make un of you fo one like that.

Does Bungie really think that many people are gonna wanna play as elites?!? Halo 2 multiplayer, look at the data and tell me how many people pick the elite. At least put one more spartan in and make it 50/50. Which it may be 50/50 for Halo 3 becaues they look a bit better now. But still thank you bungie for making such great games. The effort and quality you put into your games has changed the gaming world.

This is amazing.... If there are four characters doesnt that mean the campaign is gonna be alot harder but that is still awesome. Although I dont like being elites and i am sure that not many people do. I believe that a vote should have been held for how many elites and spartans there are. Being the arbiter is fine but i would reather be a marine but still thank you for finally making 4 player co-op!

  • 08.02.2007 1:27 PM PDT

how they are all covenent..... theres no marines only one spartan... well i guess its better then nothing. and 4 player co-op is pretty sweet

  • 08.02.2007 1:48 PM PDT

~Sleep is for the weak!!~

so did anyone find out which of the two new elites are which???? Which player is the blue one. No offense but the RED could use some work.....such as replacing his look with that of an honor guards!!!! But no need to complain just the thought of HALO 3 live co-op made me piss myself twice.!!!! Other than that.......for those of you complaining about not being a marine or ODST or even seargent Johnson, you are stupid and a NEWB. Pay attention to the game you play first. They couldn't work because they do not have enhanced speed or energy shields!!!! So get a grip! I'm a fan of the ODST's as well so deal with it like I have! Now anyone who knows the answer to my question let me know!!! And if anyone wants to agrue this just throw it out there!!!

I concur. The game remains the same (with the only difference being that they added a host of incomparable features). I'm curious as to what it is you want them to change in order to accommodate you. I'm sorry you are unable to afford those items that will enable you to get the most out of the game, but I don't think you should want them to strip all the features away to merely appease you. I certainly don't see it as betrayal on Bungie's end. Their sole intention was to make the game experience as fun as it could be for everyone.

To all the people wanting to be ODST/Marine - Don't be so stupid; It would have a totally unfair advantage in the sense that Elites would have more strength, armour, and shields, maybe active camoflague...so stop it its a stupid idea unless they bring in different human variants?

It's absolutely pathetic that people are still complaining.
Bungie made our wishes come true with online co-op.
But what makes them so incredible?
Doing better than what they're asked for.
They didn't just make 4 player online co-op with 4 MC's.
They did something even better.
Adding new sangheili's into the plot.
Stop complaining people.

Sweet...It would be cool if you could choose wich new one you wanted to be if there were only only like 3 of you too rather than it just being based on player number. I'm glad they decided to change the identical chief thing. The only problem i see is the 3 elite players killing MC and fighting over his battle rifle.
