Well, it seems that the campaign maps are HUGE and they'd have to artificially keep your team together to further the story along. Personally, I'm not worried...Even if its not there at launch, it'll be there shortly thereafter. I'm quite sure that they too would want to implement it.Striker said:No on-line co-op is quite disappointing. If games like Gears and Crackdown has it, and works well, why not Halo 3?
I'd like to hear a reason why they wouldn't include it, to be honest.
On the other stuff:
Elephant sounds very neat. A transport type of machinery. I wonder if it can be blown up and if it can only carry Mongoose.
I wish I could see the visuals of the Elites. I think they'll be awesome. I still will use a Spartan.

Whatever. If you think of the scale of Halo 3 then you will realize that they must have worked really hard to get coop online. IMO I would value it for more then 20 bucks.cjelly said:

Thats the thing, they might want to, but it sounds like they also don't want to restrict the players and cramp the Halo style so they just might not do it at all.
Yeah, it's a "standard" weapon, but I wouldn't expect it to be plentiful in MP. Each Brute Chieftan carries one though, so you'll use it quite a bit in SP/co-op.Wollan said:
It creates a shockwave when you swing it. So it does radial damage instead of direct contact like the usual melee weapons. Repels grenades, sends vehicles flying and probably does the same to people.
Meaning? I can see them just fine.Striker said:I wish I could see the visuals of the Elites. I think they'll be awesome. I still will use a Spartan.

I wonder if the brute shotgun can counter it like the human one can

It's got to be scale and ai vs. lag.
Gears has an average of 5-10 enemies with advanced AI on screen at once in single player, that doesn't seem to eat up too much bandwith. Crackdown lagged to shit for me, so I don't know if thats a great example to be using. I guess just the sheer size of Halo 3 has got to be too much to send over the net without choking. Maybe they'll iron it out and include it, and it'll run great once we get fiber to the house run.
Maybe if there were dedicated servers.... who knows.

Like my friend MattXtraGay brought up to me via text message...Halo: CE's combat teleported you to checkpoints when your co-op partner reaches them. If Bungie has to do that to include Online Co-Op in Halo 3, then by all means, please do so. It wouldn't bother me one bit. As long as it makes it in the game.

That just makes me want to weep even more... stop giving those companies that would beat you to death with DLC payments ideas! (No, I don't mean Bungie).godhandiscen said:

Has anyone found confirmation yet if the Arbiter will be playable outside of co-op (and MP)? I think what they've done is a good compromise since people who love the Arbiter will still get to play as him, and those who dislike him aren't forced to.
:lol @ Ghaleon, thanks for answering my question!

Very good point, I loved that in Halo 1. Me and my friend would just race to the spawn point because the first one who gets there has a easy kill on the other guy and then we'd keep killing each other. Its pretty fun on elevators as they might get stuck on the side of the wall, thus saving themselves from a blow to the back of the head and then drop down and kill you.

Having 2 360 has never made me so happy. I will start a system link coop game and let the chief die. Then play in the other 360 with the Arbiter.GhaleonEB said:
Come on Bungie make the Arbiter an unlockable character.

I hope the elephant appears in single player. Imagine an elephant and a scarab in the same battle with hundreds of solders and smaller vehicles in the field.

I'm seeing lots of good stuff in this thread. 4 player co-op online would've been my dream, even system link, but 2 players will have to suffice. However, Jeff Bell shouldn't be interviewed again for his confusing statements regarding Halo 3 co-op if the game does not ship with 4 player co-op.

I'm not too concerned because they say
that his story will be more fleshed out and done better than in halo 2, that and I didn't think there was enough reason to play as him in the 2nd game as it really wasn't that different besides the color change.
Somehow I think they're just being dramatic...They MUST know what an important feature it is to keep from the community. What is really odd is that they discuss co-op as a lock for system link and if that is the case, does taking it online change anything about co-op? In sys link, you can still be a mile apart, so whats the difference?ToyMachine228 said:

They said that they parked their Elephant next to the other's base. I wonder if there's a control room where someone has to steer it? How awesome would that be, if you job was to drive the elephant around? I wonder if you see out through a little window, or you have a digital viewscreen? Or even if you can see at all.
This Elephant thing sounds so awesome.

Wait, can anyone confirm that FORGE works with singleplayer maps as well as multiplayer ones?
And can anyone elaborate on the Jenga thing mentioned in the article?

Basically they stacked a lot of objects and then started pulling out parts one by one was the jist of it that I gathered from the hard to readness. More specifically they stacked a ton of fusion coils and if you dropped one the whole thing blew up. The singleplayer maps thing I didn't see
