Opinions are like arseholes - everybody has one.

Knowledge is knowing Tomato is a fruit. Wisdom is not putting it in a fruit salad.

There is no such thing as a bad decision, only good decisions based on flawed information.

I have a question and figured this was the place to ask it. Will there be an online co-operative mode for Halo 2 and how many players will it support? I ask because according to First Strike there are 4 Spartans on their way back to Earth, including MC. Imagine the sort of tactics you could do with 3 people backing you up! Even if it won't happen online, split screen or system link would do because i could manage both.

The entire fleet is engaged Cortana, with respect what the hell sorta reinforcements have you got?

as amazing as that would be it is more likly that the Co-op wil only be two player, and if your lucky itl be on live. but four plyer co-op may be a bit ott

Maybe but you have to agree that it's a bit too much of a coniscidence that 4 Spartans are on their way to earth and there are 4 control ports on the xbox. It's still possible...

I hope that co-op will at the very least support system link. Live co-op support would be amazing. Live co-op support for more than two players... the very thought makes me happy.

I've heard from a lot of ppl saying that online Co-op might happen. I hope it happens, i can play my friend in Utah(i'm in Washington) in a mission. I think it's a brilliant idea.

What is interesting is that the creators mention that the elites and the Brutes do not like eachother so much that they may even begin to fight amongst themselves (June issue OXM). I wonder if in the attempts to balance the battle field, Bungie has made soldiers that do not like you and will be battling you. I cannot remember the name of the High Ranked officer in First stike who not only hates he Spartans but has apparently tampered with the elite that Dr. Halsly took away with her. Different versions of Spartans maybe? (sorry about the vague references I have lent my books to a newly converted PS2 fanboy who got hooked on Halo co-op)

Online co-op would be difficult to pull off (its a damn sight more complicated than regular deathmatches) but it would be awesome. 2 player co-op only please! 4 players not the same as a nice run through with a friend. 2s company, 3s (and 4s) a crowd :P

And yeah, Opey could probably win that game without using his BR. Best SMG user in Halo.

Haven't you ever played Rainbow Six 3? It has online co-op.

Who me? I own it yes. But Halo 2 is a completely different game. In rainbow six you have, what, 2 terrorists being killed in each room on average whereas in Halo 2 your outside in the chaotic streets of mombasa, dropships overhead, explosions going off, squads of covenant advancing, bolts of plasma whizzing past your face etc. Totally different...think!

The 4 Spartans heading to Earth are the MC, Linda (sniper), Will and Fred. Kelly (the 5th surviving Spartan) was taken on some special mission by the Spartan's creator, Dr. Halsey. She has something wrong in her DNA but the book wasn't very specific on it. She may yet return.

The officer in FS that hates Spartans is Ackerson. There's hints that he's been developing special forces of his own using Spartan technology and Halsey's ideas. Lord knows how screwed up they'd be though, might be some merit to that idea of other soldiers hindering your progress
