Will we be able to go through it with more than 2 players in CoOp?
playing with 2-4 players would be great.

no-one really knows for sure but i'd say its a safe bet to say 2 player only

I dont think its possible to play with more than two. It would require a lot of power from the xbox to handle all the characters and how they interact with the environment, how the AI adapts to more than 2 etc. Although it would be cool to see like you and 15 other mates annihilating your covenant foes...sweeet!

It hasn't been revealed yet. Though I think it could be possible with Live. Afterall, Bungie did say that they were going to use all of the abilities that Xbox Live is capable of. I have my fingers crossed. Plus now that MP has somewhat of a story to it, a "history" if you will, Live gamers will be satisfied either way.

Unless the game is incredibly hard, I would say just 2 players. 4 would be nice if H2 had a secret ending on Legendary, and you wanted to get through the game fast.

...and another thing. If Co-op was used with more than 2 people, the details in the game would drop to a certain degree where the framerate will slow down and the fun will be sucked out. However, it could be possible if you played it LAN or Live.

I think it would be difficult for the xboxes to manage co-op (even 2 players) over live.All that info wizzing over the internet.. Halo1 wasn't even capable of a LAN co-op because the xboxes had to share info. about AI, explosions, scripted scenes etc. Lets pray bungie comes up with a solution for co-op over live though. I think we should be grateful if they manage to get even 2 players on live. and $%^&$ ourselves if they get 3-4 too :D

Although I think that they'll only feature 2P Co-op on the same box, if they did have two MCs and two Marines, how would they balance out the Marines so they wouldn't get the short end of the stick.

It simply wouldn't SPARTANS are better in every single way. maybe having the SPARTANS visor harder to see through might work but that would just plain suck!

maybe they should have a limited lives mode for 4 played co-op. that way u cant do the respawn tactic where u take turns rushing in and when u die ur buddy respawns u. or maybe they should give u only 50% of ur shields. or they could just make the enemies harder to kill.
