Suck it down. Nobody gives a -blam!-.
1) You have said that Bungie already announced MP Co-op. Upon someone realising this error, you ignored it. Were you wrong? Or blind? Or maybe they did, but only to you, because you rock so much. That must be it, right?
2) MP is not boring yet. If you played 10 hours daily every day on HPC since it came out, and had endless LANfests with your friends beforehand, you would not be bored. Do not tell me you are - you must have a disorder causing a deficit in attention! The rest of us still enjoy Halo, thanks. Maybe, if you think H1 sucks so much, and want H2 to be a few new skins on Team Fortress, you should go talk to someone about making said skins, and host your own modded server. Don't cry to us, we like playing games that Bungie made.
3) On every point you say something like "Whose to say?" or "You can't tell me without a doubt what Bungie will or won't do." - Well, you seem to be stressing, without doubt, what.. hm.. what Bungie will or will not do! And you seem to think you are the authority on this subject! I'm all for speculation, but when people tell you that they don't like your crackpot theory on how Halo 2 will be Team Fortress: Copyright Infringement Evolved, you don't inform them that you're wrong, you come to terms with it, and rethink your ideas (because honestly dude, 'we'll selectively just throw in a few covies to play as'. Yeah. Like that wouldn't take hundreds of hours more of animation tweaks than our Bungists have already done.) or you ignore the person you see as an idiot.
I for one, will speculate upon things that aren't insane, or just pointless. Things like possible storyline twists are fun to think of, things like new handling, or map strategies make sense. Things like crazy new races in Multiplayer that have only been hinted at in a backwards way once if you look at 3 out of the 15 words said in an 'off-the-records' statement by a guy who says he once saw Bungie Studios? Now that's going a bit far - too far to get angry about and tell people that it is the likeliest scenario.
Just settle down, enjoy the flow of ideas, don't call other people closed-minded when you can't see through your own, and relax. Everything will be revealed to us in just a tad over 4 months. Until then, we should enjoy what we have and bask in the warm glowing warming glowing glow of television. Or H2 screens.
Have a merry wait, And watch that temper!

Post Script: Oh, as an on-topic bit to the topic's originator:
It seems on slightly shaky ground. Sounds interesting, but like an awful lot of work for Bungie to do overall. I think what we should try to find is a collection of statements made by Bungie that either support, or deny this idea - because it could be a lot of fun, but balance would be so hard to achieve.
Wow, didn't read all that, a little too sanctimonious for me. Firstly, TF isn't the only class based FPS. Secondly, I'm not saying it's definitely in, i'm saying it's a possibility. And I thought I read online coop somewhere, maybe I'm wrong, does it really matter? I for one am not interested in looking it up to settle an argument. Jesus, man take it easy, you're taking this far too personally.
TF was one of the most popular online games ever. It had a huge following and many people would love to see class based Halo. Halo MP does get old because there are very few maps (only a couple of which are any good) and the weapons aren't very well balanced. I played it for almost two years, it was great, but it's old now. You seem to think because you still have lan parties and are a superfan that your argument is more valid than mine. If it'll make you feel better, you're right and I'm wrong. How stupid of me, Viendin is all knowing.
Grow up and calm down, you sound like a complete loser.
Read the whole thing! He makes like 94% more sense than you do and it was actually a very good read, Viendin, well done and ignore this lonely criticiser because you were correct!
