It's official, online co-op will be available when shipped in September. Did I mention it will also support up to
four players at a time? Read the article to learn not only this fantastic news, but what characters the four of you will be playing as.
EDIT BY DUKE: This is about as close to a Bungiegasm as I've ever been, and I can say...it's quite nice. :) All joking aside, you guys know I've been pining away for this feature for ages, and the fact that I can now join some of you crazy gents on endless runs through campaign maps...
I can't wait. Very huge kudos to Bungie. They've certainly earned it.

Campaign tricking will never be the same.
Oh god, I can't contain my excitement. This is the best thing Bungie has ever done, except make Halo. Oh gawd.
This is... just...wow!
Why did they pretend to be so uncertain of this feature before:

Just like we told EGM, we're aware that people want co-op online but the challenge of getting our complicated A.I. systems, huge game world, and gargantuan encounters neatly packaged and transferring across the Interwebz is a mythic undertaking.
...As we approach the tail end of development, we will have a clearer picture of whether or not that online feature will be included.
Perhaps they just wanted to stir up attention for Halo 3.
Hmm, it looks like I might be changing my mind about H3 after all..
I just keep thinking of new possibilities with 4 players, saved films, and especially if you can really "begin the game from the beginning–or from any of your saved checkpoints." in co-op mode!
Saved launch set-ups and Perfect Speedruns here we come!!
i know, ay? it's the kind of thing that makes grown men lose sleep :)

:D
I honestly shrieked like a little school girl when I read this. I wanted to cry tears of happiness. =0 I can't wait 3 more years! Gahh, I want to trick with buddies. >_<
I wonder if we'll be able to talk to each other? If not, we can always shoot the dirt to make sentances. XD "T....r.....Y....2....U.....S....E.....w.......r....A...I......T....H........C...A....N....N....O......N"
Who want's to be my campaign tricking buddies? :D
Dollar you know what this means right?:cool:
Also, I call first game with KORHAL or Dollar.:p
I call first online huggle with Gillymuffins. >_< And maybe POTS. And George Washington.

We both claim you. I'll be the turrtle monkey with machetes. You can be ponies.
Sorry, only the ladies can ride me, Foo. Maybe next year.
Going to vegas tommorrow.

Me, scurty, termeh, and corpseh.
EPIC WIN.
Gil-Squad Assemble!
I think the campaign tricking forums are going to turn out being like the MP tricking forums though.
^^I'm worried about that as well.

I just think we'll all have more fun, but it may be a problem like everybody wanting to get with one person/group and they don't want them... We'll see.
But the Gil-Team sounds cool. But it's more like Gilleh, Scurteh, Termeh and Corspeh.
We could also call it Team Termeh. o.o;

No. Team sexy.
If these chracters can be explained in the story as beingwith the chief throughout the whole game, does this mean that you meat them all in the first cut scene?

zomb, you have touched on an entirely unforseen part of online coop. GROUP HUMPING A DOWNED PHANTOM!. R4WR
And you guys gotta remember, what about host? Whos gonna be host? Is it gonna be one of you guys, or would nobody be host. If someone is host, then that opens new oppurtunities alot of new oppurtunities to glitching.. and.... whatever else. Its just going to be very different, and i think alot of the MP guys will actually venture into campaign becuase they dont have to hike over to their friends house and play splitscreen. And with these detachable camera things i've heard of, AND, alot more people in campaign, we're gonna find all the skulls and eggs fairly fast.

Actually, he can take my place in the Dream Team @_@;
