I just read off the Team Xbox website that there is NO ONLINE COOP in Halo 2. Are you KIDDING ME? This is one of the sole reasons I wanted this! Yes. Im a huge Halo multiplayer fan, but with all the jacka--es on Live, COOP would be perfect to break the mood; you and a pal taking on the single player. I have to say, Im pretty let down. I know Im most-likely in the minority here, but I just dont understand, especially considering how long we loyal Halo fans have had to wait.

It would be nice if someone from Bungie would be kind enough to explain this one.

it should have been assumed that after 3 fuggin years it would atleast offer Live or System Link coop play! This is BS!

3 years later and its the same old crap , 2 people per xbox. I play on a 77" screen and I still wont waste my viewing area. And to think I preordered one of each copy!

Bad Bungie...BAAAAAAAAAAAAAAD Bungie!!!!!!!!!

EFF the online fragfests!! I wanted at minimum coop lan play for lan parties! and now neither live or lan makes the cut!?!?!

Splinter Cell 3 cannot get here soon enough!!!! bring it!!

It islikely that co-op was not implemented for live or system link because the multiplayer levels and systems are very different to the campaign. Think about it for a sec:

To implement co-op in a multi xbox system, you will need to allow for more units in the map then normal multiplayer, larger and more detailed areas, AI would need to be implemented over the network as well. Also, Coop games would suffer badly from any lag (notice how the multiplayer maps have hardly any doors or moving parts in halo one?) distrupting the flow of the game. That is a lot of programming hours for a comparatively minor feature, isn't it?

We wouldn't want the game delayed just for that - at least I dont :)

Yes, this is very disappointing. Bungie im not trying to bash you here, i know all of the employees at Bungie have been working extremely hard. I can Somewhat understand why no COOP is available on XBOX live, but Lan Games, Come on guys. Lan games would be the perfect place to allow COOP, especially because the headset can be used while playing it... Even if there was a limit to 4 people playing coop in a LAN, that would still be very cool. Oh well, very disappointing...

And Remember...

I'm mildly annoyed, but suprised or disenfranchised? no. It looks like there are good reasons, and Smeeisqualityfoo seems to know his -blam!-. At least in Halo 2 the screen can be split vertically. I'm more looking forward to having my own screen in multiplayer.
