Subject: Firefight co-op.

In the description it states that th firefight co-op mode can be played via xbox-live and system-link. Does this mean that split-screen co-op (the basis on which halo was created) is not available?

Does anyone know the answer?

Why would you want it to be?
Split screen sucks, IMO.

Thats because you probably dont share an xbox with your family. I've played halo since it came out on the origional xbox and have completed the campaign on legendary with my brothers on split-screen. This is what halo is about, enjoying the experience with people next to you, not with people across the world or friends down the street. Its just not the same.

Most likely. Considering the core game will have splitscreen and that Halo 3 multiplayer has 4 way, I'd imagine you'll be able to do at least 2 person split. Bungie is good about this usually.

"Any shot you hear, is not one to be afraid of."

i'm not sure firefight will be but they would be silly to make the campaign only single player so you and your family would have something to do
i am in the same boat, i don't think that bungie will ignore their customers and if they do i am still buying it anyway ;)

  • 06.01.2009 1:42 PM PDT

they are both unique, stop fighting

  • 06.01.2009 1:43 PM PDT

Not a tree

I'm turning ppl back to the subject (hopefully)

I think it will be like horde mode

Keep it classy Flood.

I hope so. My best friend doesn't have an Xbox 360, but he does have the original and he loves all the Halo games. He'd love a survival mode in Halo.

Maybe Firefight will be a Horde type Co-Op thing, not the campaign.

Obviously I would still buy it, its still halo. I just hope your right about campaign being able to be played in co-op on the same xbox.

Because regardless of who you are, you cannot compare the appeal of having a buddy sitting couch-side for co-op. Full screens be damned.

Yeah, it's two player splitscreen, any more players then that would mean playing on a really tiny screen.

This man knows the truth, as with local split-screen Co-op, you and your closest friend(s) will always be laughing and shouting out to each other in good spirits. Also, you don't get as many of the hardcore jerks who scream at their teammates and bark orders...everyone's just having a good time.

Beer & "Al-key-hal" is optional.

  • 06.14.2009 6:52 PM PDT

it is splitscreen is the same for campaign too

  • 06.14.2009 6:56 PM PDT

Ahhh! can't believe they took it out of the dictionary ....and NO I'm not coming out of my shell untill you get that THING off my avatar

yes, from what I gather it's pretty much an exact copy only it's in the halo universe.
