The possibility for this is VERY small. In order to play co-op online, especially with the more sophisticated AI routines that Bungie is apparently introducing, you would need the AI to "sync" with each other. It is a lot harder to implement than it sounds. For example, in a game like Serious Sam, the enemies would rotate, if they see something they react immediately. AI like this is a lot easier to sync simply because of their basic routines, they don't have several logic paths to go through. For Halo 2, it might be something like this "I see chief, but should I attack and be fodder, or run off... find my buddies and attack as a group?" Essentially it's adding more options and that makes it terribly hard to create co-op online.
So if I had to give you my unprofessional opinion right now, I'd say don't bet on it.
But you never know.
