What is it going to be like on the same Xbox? What about live coop?

I really have no idea when you're rookie at night because you're supposed to be alone. Otherwise probably same as halo 3, host is main character, second is supporting, and third and fourth are random odst's.

Well I mean like, if there are 4 players, especially on live, how will the mission selecting work? How will the free roam on the large landscape work? Do we all have to stay in the same general area?

(Bungie > 343i)

Oh good question, didn't think of that.
i'm assuming you can both be able to "free roam"

let's just hope that bungie makes the right decision and you can all free roam or something cool. I'm confident bungie will make it good.

What the hell are you talking about?

I'm guessing that you can go do free roam, and play the missions in whatever order you want (I'm also guessing that you can go back to one of the "clues" and repeat the mission) but there will also be a menu where you just select a mission too.

Think about something real quick. The Wolf fixed the Install to HDD error with ODST. They probably have it set up so when two people are in the same area, it uses host, but when they're by themselves it loads off their own Xbox.

That, or they decided to be jerks and force us to stay in the same area. (Just kidding, lurv ya Bungie).

I don't think there gonna eliminate co-op just because they're ODST, your gonna be the rookie and there's probably gonna be an semi important character like Romeo or something.

Then he is malevolent. Is he both able and willing?Then whence cometh evil?Is he neither able nor willing?
Then why call him God?"

I don't know just let me put in ODST and i will tell you.

Crap.

I'd have to say (Out of the ballpark theory here) that only the host woule be able to start any "missions" or things of that sort. But maybe a free roam over a certain "sector" of the map. Of course if you seen the videos, it kind of looks like areas. (North Area, Central, East, etc).

-Theory of course

Bungie said that in co-op campaign you'll be able to free roam, either split up throughout the city to cover more ground, or stick together, the tactical choice. I believe it'll be like Halo: CE where the cutscenes are on one screen, but when you actually play it's split screen and both players are the rookie. I really can't wait. Once I complete the campaign I'm just going to have fun and invite some of my friends just to mess around in the city. It's almost like a new way to play if you think about it. It's almost like firefight, with the brutes in the city and all, but free roam, so you can just mess around and kill covenant. Sounds like fun to me.
