I like to lurk in these forums and this is the only topic that interests me so I'll comment.
The only failing in halo 1 was the lack of online co-op. Every time Id get into the warthog I find myself wishing 3 of us could play together online against the covenant.
Everyone seems so concerned with adversarial play, which will inevitably go the route of all adversarial game types. That is, at first everyone will be equal and enjoying themselves. A few months down the road the harcore players will have mastered every goofy glitch, or dubious tatic that it will essentially force the casual guys to move on to other games.
Because I am a casual gamer who kills maybe 8 to 10 hours a month gaming, I am a huge fan of co-op game types. I am less concerend about scoring high on a meaningless ranking system than I am about being able to have a few hours of fun.
Im sure I will love Halo 2 as much as halo 1 and My pre order is in. But I admit, the lack of responce and the refusal of anyone to officially comment on co-op play has me worried that Halo 2 will fall short of the mark (for me).
Im still hoping that they see this as THE most important game type and they are keeping it under wraps to give us a huge burst of excitement when we see its included.
I hope.
