I am sure this has been addressed somewhere in this forums, but I am having a hard time finding out. Does anyone know if there will be a multiplayer cooperative option via Live in Halo2? Deathmatches are great and all, but I really have a great interest in playing the full game with a few buddies that don't live in my area. XBox Live is a great way to share that experience with far away friends.

Thanks...

well, there is a big chance for that to happen, but when it does happen: online co-op!
It will only be for 2 players max. so that'll meen cooping only with 1 friend!
It would be really cool, but considering the situation, it can be very hard for bungie to make a co-op play over the internet caus of all the enemys and getting the same information at the same time!

But still, i think and hope it will be in the game!

I have a problems with Co-op over live

-blam!-s out there will mess up peoples games on purpose

This applies only to people who don't have friends :P

And people who dont have friends with live that can't/dont want to come over

the fact that ppl will f*** it up is a good and nessesary piont, i dont usually play coop games online, because the ppl will do that, but i hope that the ppl that play halo 2 will have enough sense and respect to not p*** about and play properly!!!

Well he could team kill you...that's all I can think of. He's talking about co-op over live with a complete stranger. And in this case, this person could mess you up.

But you are talking about co-op over live with a friend, and he probably won't mess up your game unless you did something mean to him...i dunno.

I really really really really that they put online Co-op. I still enjoy playing Halo 1 Co-op. So imagine what it would be like on Halo 2. Plus, if someone was 'effin about with you. You could just kick 'em. From the game that is. But you already knew that.

I doubt it. Ghost Recon was an excellent co-op game, with as many players as you wanted.(up to 16) Any of the bastards that want to mess around, play deathmatch.(it's true!) I doubt they'd kill you.

Even up to four players would be an awesome bonus. I'd love to go through the game on Legendary with three of my clan buddies.

i just think it would be so cool to go through the game the first time with a m8 on live you would have much more fun finding things out and you know he wont reveal the story to you because you would make him feel what the cov feel at he end of my smgs
lol jk

you guys dont worry about messing the game up, if it is so that your budy is shooting you and being anoying you quit the game and find somebody else, you guys really have to make a good friendlist, i got a good friendlist full of good nice guys (from rbs3 and pandora tomorrow)
and i got some friends in the neigbourhoud that have live or will soon have it, so that ought 2 be fun!

It works for Rainbow Six 3 on Xbox live, no problem and Halo 2 will pwn RS3.
a FF on/off function would be good..

four player co-op would rock but that would be wayy to easy.
(picture for spartans holding dual weapons and the look on that elites face when he walks around the corner)

it would also solve that question, play on XBox Live or Campaign...............

I think there should be 2playerco-op via system link so you can both have a differnt screen :D

And if they make co-op on da net i think you should be able to play with 4 people, but you can have something like a votekick to kick out all the -blam!- guys. Or if you keep getting betrayed (fragged, shot, baksatbbed) the game could just boot you to hell.
