If Bungie makes Halo 3 to support up to 4 people on co-op then do you guys think it would be a good idea to make a person who died wait until the next checkpoint to respawn? I think it should be in all co-op personally, but what do you think?

I'm not sure if 4-player co-op would be good. it might be fun and all but it would be just too easy don't you think? it's already pretty easy with 2 people when you don't do it on legendary. idk...each to his own i guess.

let's say, you play for the 2nd time on a map, normal difficulty, with 3 other people, VERY SKILLED peeps, who have beaten this map on legendary
they would go everywhere, taking all weapons, killing everything before you could even see a grunt
would that be fun ? nope, it would be boring

I think it would be great.

Usually on the weekends I'll play Halo with my friends, normally it's only three of us playing. We'll play MP for a while, but then we'll wanna get some campaigne in too.

Unfortunately with three of us, one person has to give up his turn when he dies so the other could play, which gets to be a hassle over time.

A 4 player co-op would be great in my opinion. I don't see why it would hurt, either. It won't be like anyone will have to play it with 4 people, it'll just be optional.

If that happens witch i hope it does, they need to remove the partener death penalty. and on legendary, it should be harder, and have double the enemys

I'm pretty sure you're missing the point.
The fun in coop is playing with your friends. And having a good time.

The only problem I see with 4 player co-op is that if there's only one warthog, someone will have to walk =-P

if there were a 4 player Co-op I'd be the happiest 14 year old in the world and no nobody has to walk you can have a 4th person ride in front of the warthog

who cares if it is 2easy, just don't play with 4 players(solves your problem) I think it would be fun when you have 4 friends over and they would like to play campaign.

Yes, one should wait if they are either stupid enough to get killed, or sacrifices himself for the squad. The characters to play as are the main question:
The Four Spartans that are alive
or
The Arbiter, The main Councilor dude, and two Zealots or other kind of Elites

Halo's a hell of a drug.

I think Bungie would make it harder since having more people on the map would make it easier. But imagine if the big battle scenes are true, you'll need those other players watching your back.

well, sometimes there will be a ghost (or banshee or tank) and a warthog.

Awww man! That would be sooooo much FUN! Fighting along side three of your friends. Also, when you think about it, it's not really that hard at all to make the enemy AI really really hard. So hard in fact, that it would almost require that the four of you work as a team to even make it through the level. Damn, I really really really really really really want 4 person co-op!

Dawn of the Dead video Here
6 Minutes of Hell video here

I think it would be sweet over XBL, and don't say they can't do it because look at Doom III, only if the levels were big enough. Like huge battles with many fronts going on, when you could just go take your own course.

i was just thinking this the other day. we've been having some mini lans at my place, and i tried to set up a split screen co-op, only to be severely disappointed. and i'd like to see co-op with xbox live support.

4 people? why not? of course, they would have to proportionally increase the number of enemy AI, which might get kind of ridiculous in close quarters situations. an alternative to that might be having random squads of enemies show up from time to time. maybe they could even improve AI awareness and tactics. maybe a combination of all of these. might be fun that way.

Why do people insist on speaking for everyone?

* "I think it'd be too easy and too boring"

Some would enjoy merely playing with their friends in co-op mode. Who are you to say whether people would find it boring or not?

* 4 Player co-op would be too easy

The solution is so simple. You either increase the amount of enemies, or the rank of some of the enemies, OR change enemies to harder ones (e.g. a grunt to a hunter or two) OR play on a harder difficulty.

* 4 players is too much.

See above.
