Confirmed: 4 player co-op for Halo 3

It's finally confirmed: Halo 3 will have four-player co-op multiplayer for campaign mode. It was tough for the developers but they finally came through.

Here's the skinny. Multiplaying can be done either through Xbox Live or through system link. One console can host only up to two players on split-screen. Also, only one player can play Master Chief, and that's player one. Player two will be controlling the Arbiter. Developers didn't want to have two Master Chiefs running around so they decided to expand the Halo universe and added two new Elite characters.

Player three will be controlling N'Tho Sraom, youngest member of his Special Operations unit. He is a Sangheili human sympathizer who despises the Sangheili political system. Player four will be controlling Usze 'Taham, also a Sangheili, of the Fleet Security unit. He has been offered the position of the Prophet's Honor Guard twice, but he refused both times. After the dissolution of the Covenant he was approached by the Ascetics to become a liaison within the Navy.

Now all four players will have the same abilities. The main difference comes from the natural flow of storytelling. Humans and Elites for example, will start out with different weapons depending on the mission. A little less than two months to go, folks. Halo 3 will be out September 25 for the Xbox 360.

Halo 2 was for noobs, but Halo 3 is leaning ALOT closer to the orginial Halo, which is what makes it so great......now if you are good you can throw a long bomb grenade 500+ ft, bounce it off a wall to land behind a box and blow up 2 dudes trying to capture a terrirory.....done it and it was the best...

# damn — Guest 2007-08-01 08:48

wow ps3 just got rapped by this game and i love my ps3 but their are no good games or hacks for it yet just gay updates halo rules for now and probably till halo 4

# Halo 3 is truly the best FPS of al time — Guest 2007-08-01 08:58

4 player co-op online makes it even better of a game then it already was. 4 of your friends online running through the campaign on Legendary, a true challange and a great deal of fun.

Halo 3 kills all other FPS' on every other console, except PC of course.

# true — Guest 2007-08-01 09:00

i agree PS3 just got raped by Halo 3.

# Freakin' awesome — Guest 2007-08-01 09:15

Wow. This is going to be amazing. I have 3 friends that I always play multiplayer with. Now we will be able to play the Campaign together. Unbelievable. And we will be able to save files of ourselves playing the game. Can't wait.

# Halo — Guest 2007-08-01 10:07

Sux monkey balls.

# i doubt it would be the best game — Guest 2007-08-01 10:28

i definately enjoyed the first halo game because it was simply one of a kind, but the second one turned me off. they have to do major changes, not just revised graphics to get my business.

# damn — Guest 2007-08-01 10:31

wow my xbox overheated but i dont care! i'll buy another one just to play this game. microsoft has good games that are porting to pc and end up getting scratched while playing in the overheating machine.

# HOTTSAUCE!! — Guest 2007-08-02 06:22

WHOOOO!!!! I LOVE GETTING RAPPED ANY DAY!!! WHOOOO HALO 3!!!!

# this is to @ HALO FAN — Guest 2007-08-03 04:26
