My heart stopped when I read about the 4 player co-op but i must agree about the choice between elites and ODST's, i mean give em a shield beef them up a bit and that would be awesome! But if not never mind can't have everything i mean Bungie have given us one hell of a lot to talk about and enjoy anyway! Thanks Bungie for listening to your fans unlike those idiots over at EPIC studios

I totally agree, people would fight over the right to be the master chief, They should have an option to

1) also be a spartan
2) be an ODST

OMG. The idea of four in campaign is great. Plus with two new Elites in it? Even better. Can't wait for the game.
See if that Gold Elite with the sword can give you directions, eh?

Okay, I've had enough time to read pages 1 to 27 and from what I see, 70% of the people are happy at the fact that Halo 3 will ship with online co-op. 30% on the other hand are the whining basterds that aren't greatful that one of their years of dream has been fulfilled. What the hell is wrong with you guys, I swear you guys disgust me, you keep begging for something, you finally get it and then you complain about the minor aspect of it and beg for more? Screw you!
1) A lot of the people want to be ODSTs -- Not that Bungie won't allow you, it's just IMPOSSIBLE. These guys are just humans, they aren't as advanced as the Chief and the elites so they:
a) Don't run as fast
b) Don't jump as high
c) Don't have shields and will die the moment a bullet hits their head
d) Are not as big as an elite or the Chief, if you play as them you'll be thinking "Boy do grunts look big."

2) A minority of the people are saying to be another SPARTAN (not MC clone, Fred and stuff) -- If you do that then you'll end up with a game similar to Brute Force. Plus, the game is about the Chief, we do not want to defeat the purpose.

3) These are increasing in numbers. Requests that instead of being elites, you're the MC clones like before -- This time in Halo, they want the story to be a bit more smooth and want to reinforce the fact that elites has allied themselves with the humans. Of course we can have AI elites fight by the Chief to show this, but approaching it with co-op will strengthen it. Plus, what's wrong with being a Sangheili? If you really don't enjoy it then host your own game and be the Chief. If people consider joining your game, they'll know that they're going to be an elite.

4) A few people want offline 4 player co-op -- I'm not a technical person of anything so I reckon there will be a lot of flaws in this. What I'm thinking is that since Halo 3 has a lot of detail in it, it's been polished and all, that's a bucket load to load. Maybe 2 player co-op will make the 360 work it's arse off let alone 4 player co-op? I mean, the campaigne levels are massive. Maybe they spread that across a few consoles to make it easier and more convenient for the loading? Just what I'm thinking.

I for one, see nothing about the game I should be complaining about. It's all my wishes packed into one disk, the only thing that bums me out is the wait until it comes out. And seeing as I tend to have very bad luck when it comes to purchasing a game, I'm pretty sure that I won't be able to get it on launch day because it's out of copies or something.

Dude just chill for a min, its only peoples opinions and they are entitled to them. So what if they want to be ODST's or clone Spartans, there are a lot of people out there who aren't satisfied until they get exactly what they want however i bet you most of the complaints a merely suggestions to Bungie on how they could make the game better for them. If you start thinking out of the box and realise people are very much different to each other when it comes to opinions then you know full well that there was no need to babble on about it like you just did cos guess what IT'S NOT GOING TO STOP THEM FROM DOING IT! However the game ships I will be more than satisfied with it so thanks again Bungie!

I don't remember the last time I've been this excited about Halo news. I actually ran out into the living room and danced about merrily. Thank you, lukems, and a huge thank you to all the developers that made this crazy feat possible.

Woot in the face.

Thank you Bungie!!!! You folks put your hearts and souls into this game and it shows! It scares me how much I love this game and with Halo 3? ...and on the 360? God help me! The only thing that could possible be better is if I helped in it's creation. What adds to the game greatly is the back story. I've read all the Halo novels and want more. For any of you Halo fans out there who haven't read them yet - it's a MUST READ!!! It adds so much more richness and dimension to the game.

wait but if youre not online will it be squad based, i hope not, to me that would destroy the very thing that is halo
i just wanna gab a Br in high def and kill stuff, i don't wanna worry about 3 other a.i characters too, it's fine if theyre there
but i don't wanna have to tell them what to do all the time, as long as they stay outta my way and dont take the good weapons.
Regardless thanks for online co-op and Halo 3 al together

I cant believe what i just read, you've finally made it happen! I would have been more than satisfied with 2 players, but 4! Iv been waiting for this day since the Original Halo days, and finally all that waiting pays off.

So glad i just pre-ordered my collectors edition :D

actually i saw the new screenie of the chief in the forest... those marines look pretty shnazzy, i wouldn't mind playing as them at all. i really don't care about the whole "they're weaker,shorter, and don't have shields" crap. its just a look. But that whole Elite thing will keep me from playing many online co-op games... i think they should AT LEAST add one more human to the bunch. To even things out, two humans, two elites. if any of you have read the novels, then surely you know of the spartan III's, they are cheaper than the spartan II's, but they lack shields, but their SPI armor (or E.V.A......) can make them invisible. I think that having two stealth peoples (SPI spartan and one of the elites i cant decide witch one..) and two regular guys the chief and witch ever other elite.

but at the end of Ghosts of Onyx, the only remaining S-II and S-III's are trapped in a slipspace bubble, so it would be sort of paradoxical to have them suddenly alongside you (or would require a lot more backstory).

I just want to know which elite is 3rd player and which is 4th, because i really want to play as the one with the blue armour.

yeah i know that the remaining spartan III's are in the bubble, but who says that ONI didn't stop making them (unless im forgetting something in the book) and even if they did, they may start making them again in a desperate move to save earth. I think they should introduce a new guy, a spartan III and have him fight with the chief and the arbiter. They said that this was the last halo game-of this story arc-I think they could continue the new halo series with this new spartan III.

I'm thrilled of the news, but doesn't anyone feel it's a shame that the 4 player co-op isn't offline as well(disregarding system link)?

I have a major question to ask that has been asked many times before, but I am not sure it has been answered yet (if it has been, then please point me in the right direction). If we start off playing the game in Co-Op, whether it's online or offline play, then will we miss out on certain cinematic sequences and the like? I would love to play first with my best friend over live but I really would like to know that we wont be missing crucial points of the plot, ya know?

IB. The bane of my existence.

Spoken in the words of Homer Simpson... "WOOHOO!"
But I don't know why everyone hates Elites. I think they're cool.
