Hi - I would just like to ask that an Online Co-op mode for Halo 2 still be considered. I have not heard any news on this front in quite some time so I am starting to get the feeling that this feature will once again miss the cut. Personally I would play an Online Co-op mode more than I would Deathmatch. Anyway, I know if you guys have the time and the ability to put in this feature you probably will, but I just wanted to let you know that I, and many others out there I believe, would really love online co-op. It obviously must be possible from a technological standpoint since one of Halo 2's main competitors this fall (Doom 3) is going to have the feature implemented. I just hope that time constraints don't force it to get cut from the drawing boards - just my 2 cents ;)

Thank You

Bungie has many surprises in store for us, and that feature may yet be one of them.
Meanwhile, LAN while you can, split-screen your friends, race a warthog around Blood Gulch under the full noonday sun!

And maybe try emailing the Webmaster with your suggestions. It'll prevent people from[/color] [color=red]flaming[/color] [color=white]you here. Not that anyone would....[/color]

Errmm...people have begged for co-op online constantly and its a difficult thing to implement. Its feasible on the same Xbox because there is no uploading involved but system link and online co-op is a whole different story altogether. With a game like Halo there are huge amounts of upload and transfers which can lag the game massively. AI, enemies positionings, gunfire, explosions, destructible environments, corpses, vehicles etc. are just a few examples of what will be transferred between the xboxes at the same time. Shocking amounts of data...

Thats one of the reasons co-op wasnt possible over system link in Halo1. If bungie try this and it ends up poor they wont put it in. So I wanted to say this so that if its missing from Halo2 you won't throw a tantrum and realise bungie tried their best.

Its not that hard. there has been many games that have done it......well i only remember Ghost recon but it worked fine. Im positive they have it, they mentioned it i think in one of the updates, but dont qoute me on that, i just think i saw it. Even if they didnt though i still think it will be in the game.

I'm sure that they could pull it off. I think they should even get more players on co-op at one time. Like Brute Force, I think they should have 4 player co-op. I basically just think this because my friends love to play co-op with me and others, but since it's only 2 players, we have to take turns. Maybe have an automatically adjusted difficutly with more players so it's not so easy, but I think that would be awesome to have, four player Xbox Live co-op mode. I'd play it.

Ghost recon is no where near as complex as Halo 2. Watch the E3 2003 trailer and then go play ghost recon and you'll see what I mean.......

I understand it would be difficult to implement, but Online Co-op would be a dream come true!
