- davin510, on 10/10/2007, -3/+83now i just gotta find 3 friends...
- modifiedbears, on 10/10/2007, -4/+73The headline and description really should be swapped.
Anyway, this feature alone cements this game as game of the year for me. - enginbeering, on 10/10/2007, -4/+66I like how the title/description doesn't even mention the game title, yet everyone knows.
- Kmack928, on 10/10/2007, -1/+31Why do people hate on Halo?
Frankly, the best video game experiences I've had (since Goldeneye and Super Smash Bros.) has been halo and halo 2 co-op. Its crazy amounts of fun, i'm pretty sure that's a fact.
This addition will be nice, I'll probably just end up doing 2 player, but I think its gonna be a good time. - jblade, on 10/10/2007, -4/+33Sweet!
- The0, on 10/10/2007, -3/+29Sweeeeeeeeeeet.....
I think it would have been cooler if you were all Spartans, but each had different helmets/armor. I just feel so much more badass playing as a Spartan. Or if it was at least 2 Spartans and 2 Elites. But whatever. 4 PLAYER CO-OP! - vagarach, on 10/10/2007, -0/+19Bungie pretty much is synonymous with "Halo".
- Ortega08, on 10/10/2007, -6/+25Overhyped? Halo is one of the best if not the best FPS game to have ever come out, and there are millions of people that agree with me.
- karmakungfu, on 10/10/2007, -9/+28I like how people know this story is about Halo without the name appearing anywhere in the title or description. Neat!
- brerfrog, on 10/10/2007, -1/+15I have no clue what your talking about when you say grainy, and there are at least 3 or 4 new vehicles, and many more weapons for Halo 3. The characters are mostly the same because it is a story, it's like saying Star Wars story sucked because it had a lot of the same characters, vehicles and weapons. The story itself has completely changed and evolved over the trilogy in both examples.
As far as being a generic shooter, your right it is very very simple. No advanced cover modes or weapon load-outs no button combos. That's what lots of people love about it, its very easy to just pick up and have fun. Look at the sales of the wii, the ability to just come home after a long day, pick up a controller and jump right in is the "in" thing. - Puppetfunk, on 10/10/2007, -3/+15I guess that's true....if you're ***** blind.
- vagarach, on 10/10/2007, -0/+12The thing is, Halo is very high quality game, of the fps type, for console gamers, and it even has a great storyline. What is there not to like, to excited about?
- tmyprod, on 10/10/2007, -4/+16You go to hell.
You go to hell and you die. - rstarr, on 10/10/2007, -0/+11Except they are damn near impossible to rear-face headshot.
- RockTheWall, on 10/10/2007, -4/+15Yea, okay, those Elites are definitely gay. I can totally see them all fornicating with members of their own sex without exception.
Honestly, shut up. It's people like you who make this an inhospitable world for people who have to summon all their courage just to talk openly about who they are.
And your inexcusable homophobia aside, perhaps you missed the part of the article that mentions that they're identical characters in terms of gameplay and they only look different to avoid the nonsensical existence of four Master Chiefs. - Gunsotsu, on 10/10/2007, -4/+15And Sony get's to play co-op in what exactly?
Yeah, that's what I thought. BOOM! Headshot! - Greyline108, on 10/10/2007, -1/+10There are already enough "4 player online co-op" included headlines. This one at least points out stuff you wouldn't find by scrollng down a bit
- thePheonix9, on 10/10/2007, -4/+12I love Bungie Studios.
- thekronz, on 10/10/2007, -1/+8Sounds good, but I really didn't like playing as the Elite. Is this really that good of an idea? I'd much rather kick ass with Master Chief and the Marines.
- imikedaman, on 10/10/2007, -0/+7Must you whiners start this this discussion in every Halo, Xbox 360, or FPS-related article on digg?
- Crumbeast, on 10/10/2007, -0/+7pimps at sea
- zzz@tkz, on 10/10/2007, -0/+7This fits in the story line, if they had other SPARTANs, they'd first have to find the others :).
- DotKenneth, on 10/10/2007, -6/+13I am by no means a Halo fan, almost the opposite, even though that seems to be blasphemy if you're a Microsoft console owner. However, I love co-op in general, and this is the announcement I was waiting for. Offline co-op wasn't going to cut it for me and since they avoided announcing online I kind of though this wasn't happening. So believe it or not there may still be opportunities for Bungie to draw in some new, though late, fans.
- rstarr, on 10/10/2007, -0/+6I happen to use an Elite and proud of it. We're like the left handed batter. I face right-handers all day and so do you, but the lefty will shake you, better or worse, you still get shook.

Wallpapered - ThE0eNiGmA, on 10/10/2007, -0/+6Guess you never heard of Marathon, then?
- Ortega08, on 10/10/2007, -1/+6***** game ever made? Have you even played Halo and if you have, the reason you think it's ***** is probably because you suck at it.
- Nobi-Wan, on 10/10/2007, -0/+5Uh, generic in what way? Feel free to explain.
- tehpwnrate, on 10/10/2007, -1/+6I doubt this means you will have 4 characters all the time unless you are playing 4-person co-op. Those last two characters seem more tacked on because they were needed than they seem detailed characters essential to the plot.
- MillionsLivio, on 10/10/2007, -2/+7Shut up.
- nreynolds, on 10/10/2007, -1/+6 it doesn't necessarily mean that in the slightest, but it's a possibility.
- acu8509, on 10/10/2007, -0/+5And they said i was wrong when i said more elites would join the humans! they laughed at me and told me to go run along and play alone somewhere! But who's right now?!?!
- Scheissen, on 10/10/2007, -0/+5Halo wasn't released as "Halo 1" so you don't type it that way!
- Nobi-Wan, on 10/10/2007, -1/+5Guys, guys!
Read neiltc13's comment again! He was obviously talking about Resistance and got mixed up. Geez. - Uranium118, on 10/10/2007, -11/+15I'll play as Master Chief, balloon headed aliens are too easy to headshot.
- TheBigBentley, on 10/10/2007, -3/+7I can see why people think Halo 3 doesn't look much better than Halo 2. Halo 2 was a graphical powerhouse. But my question is "what do people expect?" If you could do something better graphically beside the already done: Hi-Def, higher poly count, high-res textures, more/better game play modes, more maps, continued story, 4 player co-op. Then please do tell. The art of the halo universe is not based on buildings full of architectural detail and real life places so to say anything besides the already mentioned could be done without deterring from the Halo universe is just simply absurd.
- lacronicus, on 10/10/2007, -0/+4no co-op? in halo? lol
- ShiningToast, on 10/10/2007, -0/+4Meh, the marines don't have shields and their skeletons can't handle MJOLNIR armor. So whoever is MC would be babysitting the whole time.
- inactive, on 10/10/2007, -0/+4Oh you poor oppressed soul
- HBNDonut, on 10/10/2007, -0/+4You sure showed them.
- HBNDonut, on 10/10/2007, -0/+4Halo's features, sound effects, animations, physics, A.I., in game dialogue and online capabilities and customisation would put most games to shame.
Killzone 1 was a pretty poor game, I had fun playing through the campaign but most people expected it to be a lot better because it was labled as "The Halo Killer". The enemies had like 4 or 5 lines of dialogue that started to annoy the hell out of me after the first mission. You cant jump. The A.I wasnt very smart... plus I'm sure there are a few other reasons.
Killzone 2 looks pretty cool though. We'll just have to wait and see. - Nobi-Wan, on 10/10/2007, -2/+6Haha... you're just pissed because you spent $600 instead on a console with no worthwhile games for at least another 8 months to a year.
- VirtualCtor, on 10/10/2007, -0/+3Everyone's a buddy now.
- mediaphile, on 10/10/2007, -0/+3It sounds like all the characters will play exactly the same, as if they were all master chiefs. The only difference will be the starting weapons you spawn with, and the character model.
- The0, on 10/10/2007, -0/+3Oh yeah, I totally understand that, but my guess is a majority of people playing co-op (myself included) aren't going to care whether more than one Spartan fits into the storyline, they are mostly going to care that 4-player online co-op is teh 3p1c r0xx0rz. But I'm sure once I start actually playing, I won't care anymore, and my thoughts will also consist solely of said 13375p33k thoughts.
- kinseyincanada, on 10/10/2007, -0/+3oni
- smackhero, on 10/10/2007, -1/+4dude, they have the same ***** stats, they just start with different guns. it says so in TFA. stop crying about it.
- lacronicus, on 10/10/2007, -0/+3you mean like how theyre trapped in a dyson sphere with no direct connection to the outside world? and the rest of the spartans are dead or with them save john? and how if they stayed on earth, you could have never reintroduced the flood, and thus, much of the story, which, aside from the MP, is what carries halo?
- TheBigBentley, on 10/10/2007, -0/+3umm can you say gay? your comment is not valid since its not true.
- HBNDonut, on 10/10/2007, -0/+3Yeah. Halo 3 has no shooting in it. Only hugging...
