GETCHAPOPCORNREADY

ok most people are probably thinking i'm asking if the campaign has coop, but no. i have some questions about how the coop is gonna work.

1.say you and a friend are doing it, doesnt that kinda ruin the mood as being the rookie in a dark city? will the enemies automaticlly be better or be more plentiful to support an extra person, or will two people be taking on a patrol squad that one person would be perfectly capable of taking out?

2. in halo 3, whenever two players are really far apart, one could kill itself to spawn with the other (spawning willl be the next question), or there would be little pauses where the game would say 'loading...' and then teleport the player who fell behind. all the people being intervied are saying that new mombassa is going to be the biggest halo environment they've made. well what happens if one person goes one way and the other goes another way?

3. the spawn system.

4. remember that mission... it was in one of the gameplay videos, sorry i can't fully recall, but you play as a guy with a laser (buck?) and your with another squad member, but the main guy is buck. if your doing this in coop, will both players (or more) play as buck, or will the other player play as said other squad member? if so, what happens if there are more human players than there are squad members? will the other players play as regular marines, like in halo 3 how extras played as regular elites? and if so will they still have all the sweet odst gear and abilities? (probably.)

thanks in advance, just had a lot of questions.

Go Rams and Missouri!

Spawn system will probably remain the same as Halo 3. In co-op, you have the Rookie (player 1) and up to three ODST's. Because many ODST's were dropped into New Mombasa, it isn't out of place. The same goes for flashbacks. Checkpoints still remain in the nighttime city as the Rookie, too. Enemies won't be scaled up, but it would be kind of wimpy for you to play co-op on anything below Legendary. And players can split up and not be teleported. You get a map of New Mombasa, so you'll be able to find your teammate in the city and possibly place a waypoint on him to meet up with him, or place a waypoint at a part of the map so you meet up. When player 1 goes into a flashback, all players will play in it with him.

As a great man has said before "..." That is where the truth lies my friends

1)Yeah I guess, but co-op is more about fun.
2)I think they made it so that 2 people could seperate without being dragged back together
3)I don't know what you mean by that.
4)It will probably work like Halo 3's, say for that mission, P1 would be Dutch, P2 would be Mickey, P3 would probably be a random ODST, or just another member of the squad, P4 same as P3

the whole game is for fun! cmon i'm looking for ideas. how do you think the game could be made to keep the mood of not being an unstopable force with an extra person?

as for saying spawn system, i thought that was pretty self explanatory and i didnt really want to write a long question about it. how do you think the spawn system will work?

and cool.

I had a question similar to his question: if we can all Split up
Can we All do Separate flash Backs?

1. As many people say, it is funnier to co op. have imagination... imagine that it lands two drop pods instead of just one. If you play co op then I think that the patrols will be better... otherwise play legendary or Heroic.

2. Then kill yourself... and you will probely spawn with your friend or find your friend... the area cant be that big.

3. Bungie have fix this 100%... I am sure

4. two buck? no I dont think so... your friend will play as another squad member or another ODST.

1. Yes, there most likely will be more.
2. You can set up way points to meet each over.
3. The spawn system is up too scratch.
4. At night time you'll have one person as the Rookie and the rest as Non-squad member ODST's, In flashbacks say your on Dutch's one, P1 will be him, P2 will be Mickey and P3 and P4 will be Non-squad member ODST's.

I hope this will have 2 player on the same Xbox. Just saying it could go the other way. I really only like to play games I can go coop on. Makes it a lot more fun. But I wonder if there will be 2 rookies or 2 different characters. Or 4....

And I think that you won't feel totally alone if the Super Intendant has been made a very friendly character anyways. But I see what you mean.
