I seriously dont know why i havent seen anything like it yet, cuz i dont know how to create maps or anything, so if there isnt anything out there like this then, they should create a new halo custom edition program or just a new ui.map to make a co-op session for halo pc. I think that would be so cool. Even if they couldnt do that, they could just make multiplayer maps that are recreated exactly as you were playing single player, that way 16 people can join up and kill the bots on the level! I think this would be cool.

If you would like that to happen for halo custom edition vote now!

Please correct me if there is a co-op online program for halo pc because i would love to know if there is. Thank you everyone

Remember "The Maw"

personally, i would say no. Can you even begin to imagine the amount of lag? I tried playing on some AI maps on CE. Alone, sure, they work ok, altough it's laggy at times. Then i tried to play with a friend, and the world went into chaos. I swear i was running at 1 FPS or something slower. Now, it could be just on those AI maps, but i dunno....

It wouldn't work, period. People have tried and failed in the past... there is one attempt that I know of currently that seems semi-promising, but I highly doubt it will work. Sorry, but AI will not sync.

Sorry to burst your bubble of endearing naïveté, but it's not that simple. You think that nobody thought about this already? I don't mean to be a jerk, but this poll isn't going to do crap.

There has been a lot of Co-op mods for games such as for Half Life (Sven Coop) and Doom 3 (Open Coop) and they worked great, with no lag. But because of the netcode on HPC, i highly doubt it would be a job for the modding community.

Im not trying to make this poll go anywhere i just 1: want your opinion 2: see if you guys know if there is anything out there like this.

Coop works on xbox why not pc. Ive played ai maps before on custom edition, and alone it works great, but when at least when 1 guys joins, its not really all the lag. Its just that he loads all of the ai on the map by himself while ive loaded my own. So technically the whole time everyone is killing thier own ai, dont know why it works like that but its probably just because its multiplayer

Can't be done. Period. Anyone who says they think they know how is a n00b.

Ever noticed that you can't run LAN co-op on Halo and Halo 2 Xbox? Halo PC won't do it online for the exact same reason. Co-op only works on one Xbox because both of the players are on the same machine.

Not exactly, but you do prove a point.

"Hey, my Xbox can play Halo on co-op, so that means the PC port should too, right!?" is essentially equal to "Hey, I know how to play basketball, so that means the PC port of Halo should have a co-op feature as well, right!?"

Or someone who actually might find a way to do it. Impossible is nothing when you put effort to it.

Nope, it's as impossible and having sex with Jessica Alba when you don't know her.


You don't know what your talking about.

It could be done, but probably not on CE. Everything would have to be rebuilt before you could make coop maps work :(

As impossible as a goat willfully doing parlor tricks without a brain stem or legs.

Indeed. That is true. Half Life and Doom 3 are not Halo.

I know of only one map that had AI that synced ok online, and that was great war hopeless battle. The AI sync's fairly well in it and it works fine if you only have people with good connections, less then 100 ping. That is the only one I've played that doesn't take a crap online with other people.

But Halo doesn't sync AI. There is NOTHING we can do to even fake this like we can with scripts. Nothing at all. Its not the kind of netcode that is preventing it from happening.
