people have been talking about having a online co-op for a pretty long time now. furthermore, ppl say we should have a poll to see how many ppl really want to have online co-op.
so lets see how many ppl really like the idea and think bungie should put in halo 3.
please give reason.

2 things:

1. online co-op would rule.
2. Your signature infuriates me.

i c but why? i like my sig. any how this poll is to see how many ppl really want online co-op. so bungie know that its fans want it badly like they want survival mode badly. with a lot of votes they are more likley to put it in.

Halo's Campaign thrived because it had Co-op that was both fun and challenging.

Halo 2's campaign was alright on anything under Legendary, but do to it being Xbox live compatible, most were expecting it on Live.

Halo 3 should have it, because Co-op is a definate attribute that the Halo series has, and making it online would be the next step.

And actually Bungie doesn't look here for inspiration. Our votes have nothing to do with whatever choice they make.

The jury is out i reckon.....it could be good and bad.
I mean there are people out there who would just play to ruin the fun. can you imagine playing with a guy who constantly says you suck and just kills you for a laugh.
yeah you could just start again with someone else but there must be thousands out there who would do this, not to mention other stupid little things.

Well that would just be stupid....going into this thing without a friend. This wouldn't be a matchmade thing, just a way to have 2 people who are friends to play over xbox live.

Plus if that did happen theres always a cord to pull for those annoying people on your team.

Bungie will have online Co-op if they managed to get the checkpointing system to work without flaws over XBL.
otherwise its doubtful.
Its one thing to do it in the way that Perfect Dark does it. With the Level restarting each time.
its another to have real time checkpoints for two players to match up.

That's not true. There are plenty of people that go into Dooms' Co-op alone and get matched with some random dude.

Not all of your friends are gonna be on or for that matter, want to play co-op when you do.

But, I would love to see that feature. It would be a great change of pace, and it would be a great social aspect that I thought was missing from Halo 2.

I don't honestly think people want to online co-op just so you can play with your friend who lives a couple of doors away. Majority of people want online co-op (98%) as they think it would be cool playing with people hundreds, thousands of miles away.

If they would screw around why would you play with them? There are millions of people on live to play online co-op with. Why not have online co-op? I havent come up with a reason not to have it, but only reasons to have it. With online co-op, you can play with the whole screen, instead of a split screen, while playing with friends in campaign.

i didn't say don't have it. i was just giving a couple of downers to a great idea.
what about checkpoints ? what about saving the game ? would it match with people
who are up to the same point as you once turned back on etc...?

the think is even if the votes don't make bungie decide to have co-op online. at least they will know ppl really want it badly just like the survival mode as i said earlier. i have read what you people are saying about the way the online co-op would workout and the problems it would pose.
as it is for co-op in the game you cannot save . so for the online it would be the same as the non-online co-op.
no one really complained about not being able to save for the non-onlime co-op as it is.
this is just one more think ppl can do for the campgain instead of just beating it on all the four levels and with friends. they can play with other ppl around the world without having to wait for thier friends to come over to thier place. plus it makes really fun to play with other ppl online. it was fun for doom 3.
