[color=red]I think it would be awesome if Bungie included a 4 player co-op mode. Or even better, a 4 player system link co-op mode, so everyone can have their own screen. With the power of all 4 xboxes working together, i bet they could do it without any graphical slow down or lowering of quality. It would be kinda confusing with 4 green MC's running around so mabye you could change the way your MC looks. Can you imagine marching into battle with 3 friends, each on their own screen, along with a squad of marines against a fleet of covies?...yummy... Anyway, just my idea. What do you think?[/color]

I think so. BUT only if you can system link coop mode. But then again, it might wipe out the hole team work thing, two people on legendary still had to work together to win. 4 people might just dampen the experience. But its nice to have the option.

Keep the default color, and make it so that once you die you are dead until either the next checkpoint or next loading zone. Also against a fleet of covies? A fleet implies ships, and ground troops are defenseless against ships...well almost defenseless.

I would not play 4 player co-op to beat levels, I would play it more to mess around. It would be amazingly fun to play campaign with four friends. The game would be way to easy with 4 MCs, however. Hopefully they will include a new near-impossible difficulty that makes four player co-op a challenge.

Ya, or for 4 guys, it quadrouples the amount of enemies.

Quadrupling the enemies would be neat, but it would definently lag up the game...it would probably be best to keep the same enemies and just make them better.

Wouldn't it technically be quad-op then? And yeah, lag would be a pain in the ass...but it would be fun. I guess you're stuck with multiplayer.

Instead of making more enemies they could just turn all grunts into yellow elites :-)

it also quadruples how much has to be processed, therefore lagging the game most likely and ruining it....besides it wouldnt be fun with 4 ppl, be boring i think....thats just me, i like it 2 ppl, cuz i play with my brother, i wouldnt want to play it with 4 ppl (my friend and his brother), wouldnt be nearly as fun i think

4 ppl is the way to go, if you have more m8s( or 4 online co-op:D?) then playing on legendary would be a lot of fun and you could incorporate alot of the teamwork that goes into the books of halo

It sounds like an all right idea but like peopel said, "Not challenging enough". If you have 4x the marines you have 4x the fire power and you could anihlate everything. Unless they had like Doomsday difficulty where grunts have like overshields and camo and everyone has like rocket launchers or something.

I dont think so because if your playing 4 player cooperative the screens would be to small and be hard to see especially a small tv.

as much as i love x-box it is outdated. x-box is awsome but it can never match the power of an up to date pc. yes lag would be a problem 16 player multiplayer can be handled cause there is no large amounts of ai. if there are bots in multi it could be no more than 15 of them. i think x-box 2 needs to come out soon....

what is all this I;m hearing about lag. You guys are all saying it will be laggy just because Halo 1 had lag. Bungie is most likely looking at what caused it to lag and will work hard to correct it. All I'm saying is expect minimal to no lag.

well yeah but if there was 4 person coop and say quadrupled the enemies, you would get a lot of lag from too much info to process from for xboxs and loading all the stuff, it woudl be a lot to take in and process i guess

with that many mc's it would be too easy. But it would be awsome to screw around with and go basejumping/banshee dogfight fun. Kinda like in 2 Betrayals. But i still voted yes

4 would be cool, but they'd have to add more enemies in that mode to make up for the 4 spartans
