Subject: Halo 3 Co-Op! (More then just 2?)

Hey guys,

I'm a fan of Halo, Primarily i got into the first one for one reason only. It had co-op. I wasn't one of these Pre-Fans of the Announcement. I did know of Bungie for making Myth. Soulblighter was the *S*H*I*T*E*.

Anyway skipping forward. I always wanted to play with just more then two players. My Cousins and I would primarily fight over who dies passes it on. Which ofcourse made me one hell of a player...
(I placed 4th in an Australian Competition involved 500+)

Fast forward to Halo 2 [First day: OMG ITS GOT CO-OP! AGAIN! *Rings Cousin* COME OVER MAN!]

***16 hours of non stop gaming later***

Dude... let's play it again on Legendary, maybe theres another secret ending

*** 9 hours later ***

Co-Op is what makes this game fun, AM I RIGHT?

So I was thinking, Why not add more then just 2 Players?. The xbox 360 can support 4... It should be able to handle it. Also over Xbox Live is another great thing (i'm sure 2 players on xbox live is being discussed).

But let's get more people out there. Take a slice from Splinter Cell, Co-Op based maps. Where you need to work as a team.

I'd like to hear people's opinions, I don't have all the answers, just wanted to pave the sidewalk/footpath/pavement

Even a 3 player co-operative mode sounds very.. very nice. I'm imaging a warthog full of my friends.. driving with them to the scene of battle.. and over it...Laughing.

But it could be very hard to make work.

Still.. nothing beats the idea than invite my 2 best friends over and start playing Halo 3 campaign through at night time with em. I'm going to add this on my wish list. :)

How about online Co-op? Two players.

one flaw... 4-player co-op = four spartans vs. enemy. Too powerful, takes the fun out.

Dreams of being the one and only soup that people enjoy. Or wants to be a hero that dishes out hot scolding soup to evil.

Eh, with two players the single player campaign is way easier than by yourself, but with three or four I just see it being a cakewalk.....

The only way I can see it working is if there are more and more monster spawns for each other player playing, or weakened shields, or stronger enemies.

The Sentinel Beam isn't excluded from Matchmaking due to any performance concerns. It's excluded because it's ridiculous. It may as well be firing super-accelerated clowns. - Shishka

I would be happy with 2 over live. I just don't think 4 players would have that same feeling.
