Halo 3 Online Co-Op confirmed

[Dakota Grabowski]

Just in: at an press conference in amsterdam

according to insidegamer (quite respectable) in dutch: InsideGamer.NL (http://www.insidegamer.nl/xbox360/ha...tml#videointro)

Rough translation:
Quote:
Microsoft and Bungie confirmed at a pressconference in, thats right, Amsterdam, that Halo 3 is playable via xbox live with four people at a time. That way four players can compete via xbox live with eachother or against eachother. With Halo 2 this was possible with only two players.

Thoughts?

niiiiiice, now i wonder if itll be jump-in style like Gears

Gotta say Xbox games are awesome at online stuff like this- It's not just my thing though but still not to take away from how awesome this is for the fans.

Nothing that shouldn't be expected at this point from a title as huge as Halo 3.

OMFG!!!

4 player co-op over LIVE :O thats is awesome. i would have been happy with 2 but 4........holy crap

this game is gonna be superb

Four players?

That's like twice as many as Halo 2.

Here's some information on how 4 Player Co-op works out.

1 Master Chief, 1 Arbiter, 2 New Elites to the storyline (http://xboxevolved.e-mpire.com/article.php?artid=4005&pg=1&comments=)

The 4 player coop in itself is already awesome. I'm thinking it was an expected increase over Halo 2, but still, the fact that it's there for sure it's just wicked. What's really the cherry on top is that they've tied the feature into the story by giving each player a distinct character. They will all play virtually the same probably, but still that's honestly a really neat idea and going above and beyond what was already awesome with the 4 player coop.

I hope they add this into the PC version (whenever the eff it comes out....) btw... and to also let them play with 360 versions in the future! I'd love to play Halo with people I've at least some knowledge of for once... and aren't incompetent fools and crappy FPS players lol.

i think its pretty safe to say that has a 100% chance of happening. Microsoft wants cross-playing into as many games that can put it into now that windows has "xbox" live. But i hope there will be an option to turn of PC players in like a filter when it comes to vista

[curryking1]

Ya, I worded that a bit wrong lol. I'm 100% sure the 360-PC play will be added too. The one I'm less sure about is the 4 player coop for the PC version, I hope that makes it in. Gonna be a while till we find out about Halo 3 PC though lol.... :cry2:

[OG_Monkey]

got that right lol

[Rabid]

You'll see Halo 1.5 before you even hear Halo 3 PC announced ;)

[OG_Monkey]

lol...i think
