I DONT CARE IF ITS BEEN DISCUSSED. WHAT DO YOU THINK? it would be awsome if u could play it 4 player but in return you'd have to put it on a different mode where theres ALOT of covenant so its actually a challenge or you have to split up or you have to use strategy like taking out a squad of brutes or something or hunters. it would be CRAZY

How about online co-op, i know it's imposible, but it'd be cool, 16 people. Of coarse you'd need to have a MUCH harder difficulty

that would be cool but maybe they could do it with marines also or with grunts and have 8 people be covenant and 8 people be spartans and maybe have to accomplish tasks like holding ground. It should be that once one point is behind the line of enemy fire they shouldnt be able to spawn there like call of duty

the reason i said 3 player co-op is because some vehicles can only fite 3 people :driver, passenger,and gunner. That mite be one of the drawbacks of being 4 player co-op, you mite not be able to have warthogs in 4 play co-op

Hey Halo had 1 people vehicles but people still loved Co-op. More than 4 is way too much whats the point then?

I don't think they should have 4 player co-op, because it would destroy the whole meaning of the game. It's supposed to be ONE master cheif, and they were pushing it anywhy with 2 (I'm not saying I don't like co-op because i REALLY do). Think of it this way, if the Human race had 4 master chiefs they would probably SLAUGHTER the covenant and the flood, with only 2 master chiefs, it makes it seem like more of a struggle..

I just want to make a few correctons: Master Chief is a rankign in the United States Navy (and in the Halo universe, a ranking for the UNSC) Please reffer to him as a Spartan, which brings me to another point. According to the novels, the possibility of there being four Spartans(not Master Chiefs, because he is the only SPartan with that ranking) is very real. I think 4 player co-op would be awsome, one on each xbox in a LAN, or two on two differetn screens, as for counter-op (say, Spartans vs Elites), that would be interesting, but also kind of wierd, because the Spartans would be destined to win.

---Simple Math---
Fixed number of Polgyons.
Twice the number of Co-op players = Half as many Enemies

Twice as many players + half as many enemies = 1/4 the fun.

Actually it should be 6. One person should be Sgt. Johnson because he survived the Halo and the flood. He just as much of a badass as any Spartan.

We're talking co-op on xbox live,1 person on each xbox, then you're not dividing the polygons.

I'm thinking definitely. But with 3 people you should have to play on at least normal. 4 people at least heroic. Otherwise it would just be stupid. Also does anyone know if you can save winning a level even if u did it on co-op on xbox live. Cause I wanna do all the missions co-op with my friend on live, but I want it too be saved.

Arcimpulse, if you'd check you'd note that your outburst was the first mention of Live.

Now, co-op over live... that's an entirely different scenario. Now we're limited by bandwidth instead of polygons... You'd have to transmit the vectors of several hundred events simulaneously for the large battles. (Say, end of Two Betrayals for instance) For weapon fire this may not be to bad. Each shot is a single instance vector and thus easily handled. However, each Spartan and every single enemy would be in constant motion, constantly changing. It would be like a multi-player match except with upwards of sixty enemies. Since currently it appears that multiplayer can't handle more then sixteen players the odds of this being successful would be slim.

Oh my, such an erudite opinion. Your diction is most impressive and your knowledge of computer programming has me in awe.

No seriously, if you have a real opinion that has some basis on the intellectual plane I would welcome it.

bungie should stick with 2 person co-op it was simple and you still had a challange on legendary. i would be happy with 2 person co-op because thats what most games offer. the only ones that offer 4 players co-op that i can think of are games with 4 different charictors and the charictors would be there even if you played on single player.

I think your are the only genius that would equate COOP with half the fun. What a mathematician you are..

Co op = Half the fun? I think most would disagree with your retarded ass whack math.

if you have read the novels then you no that there were originally like 70 spartans or something, half of them got wiped out by the augmentation processes but there were still like 30. out of those 30, 25 of them died in combat. THATS A LOT MORE THEN FOUR AND THEY DIDNT TAKE OVER THE COVENANT
