how would it work if someone drop out or lose a connection...would the game ends or someone else in the lobby jump in?

I NEED TO KNOW PEOPLE.

Simple: It will drop to 3 player co-op.... or (less likely) AI controlled co-op. Unlike Gears, there are no characters that are made to be there the whole time, so it will probably just drop to 3 players co-op.

You know what's worse than that? Legendary Coop with the skull that restarts to the last checkpoint whenever one person dies. There's going to be a lot of chewing out in those sessions. I can just see griefers heading in with a 4-man group and dying over and over on purpose. :lol

Can I admit something shameful? Until I read this post, I had no idea that Skulls weren't just Cog Tag type things that I was never good enough to find.

This is amazing news and before I lose the ability to write in any kind coherent manner, I do have one question...Will the number of enemies raise and lower depending on the number of players in co-op...2 MCs and 2 Arbiters are likely to wipe the floor of even the largest of enemy groups, don't ya think.

Great news, I really wasn't all that interested in Halo3, esp after the beta but integrated online gaming through the single player story with 4 friends jump in/jump out (hopefully) and I'm totally sold.
If co-op is as integrated as Gears of War was it will be absolutely huge.
 
Wow, looks like I've been owned by Stinkles and Luke. I really thought this was another mistranslation and wanted to temper the expectations.
 
The latest issue of Electronic Gaming Monthly caused a little controversy when Bungie couldn't confirm the existence of online co-operative play in Halo 3 because the feature wasn't ready. Now, apparently, it is. News out of a press conference in Amsterdam (as reported by Inside Gamer), later confirmed by former 1UP'er-turned-Bungie-mangod Luke Smith, brings word of four-player online co-op play over Xbox Live in the September shooter.

More details are expected on Bungie.net later today. Stay tuned.

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.

Does that mean me and 4 of live buds can play single player like two players would Gears of War? The way it is put makes it seem likes like its just regular mutiplayer like the Beta but you can select for of you four buds and kill each other ala Golden Eye for N64 instead of going through the process of finding a match.

It means that four players can play through campaign together cooperatively or play through campaign's metagames competitively...

It's about singleplayer:).

I like how the Betrayalton and Megaton 360 threads are trading places at the top of the forum. It's as if someone heard about the price cut leak, and sent a memo to Bungie: countermeasures! NOW! :lol
Quick! We must appease the GAFFERS!
 
The new UK OXM came through my door today, aswell as the 10/10 Bioshock review, there was an E3 reflection on Halo 3.

I thought it was typical OXM bull journalism when they talked about 4 player online co-op, but it seems they were right.

Incidently they give an idication as to what players 3 and 4 will be playing as, I dont know how to post spoilers here so I'll leave it unless someone posts a how-to.

Also mentioned an anti-elephant for multiplayer but I'll not say anything about that either yet.
 
omg... that 1up article have one of the saddest comments i have ever read

one even said he might rent halo 3....rent halo 3? sorry but :lol

Type [spoiler before the quote and /spoiler] afterwards. Only have the respective ] after the first tag and the [ before the second. (Couldn't type them in there then or it would have come out as spoilered text.

GAME OF THE MOTHER****ING EVAR

Good god, this game goes so far beyond the other Halos it's not even funny. Bungie is at the very top of the game here.

All this time I thought 4P co-op was a pipe dream, that it would never happen and there was no point in hoping for it. It'll be very interesting to see how this works; I have always been fine with 2P co-op and struggled to see the point for throwing in two more players, but hey, if Bungie can make it work then more power to 'em. They've earned my trust like no other developer.

*faints*

Give us the news Junior!
 
YES. I'm so happy.

You see kids, I declare myself Ghaleon's replacement, and soon after we have this.

I can't wait to play on day one with 3 of you. Bungie delivers.
