a friend of mine made a comment saying that alot of people didn't like being the arbiter in halo 2, and therefore wouldn't like being a elite in halo 3.

I could care less about which character i am. How does everyone feel about this?

I'm sick of all of these people hating on H2. The only thing that sucked was the ending of the story. The campaign, weapons, graphics and storyline were all better than H1 IMO. A lot of people just hate whichever thing is in the lead/popular. There's a reason why it's the #1 selling Xbox game all time, and still the #1 game played over Live almost 3 years after it's release.

I wonder if they will have 4 player split-screen over Live the way they did in H2. Anyone heard?

Like 4 or 5 people have posted regarding this:

"Split-screen co-op is as ever, limited to two players per screen but they can if they wish join two other friends online or via System Link."

From the very same news article...

I want it so bad.

But it's not out, and chances are I'll be broke as usual when it is.

Thanks for all of your intuitive input, I coud've gotten more valued information from a brick wall.

Good idea, if I have more than 2 people at the house and they all want to play games, I'll just tell them to leave and buy a 360.

And you wonder why you don't have any friends...

That's... actually pretty damn cool. This is the first instance where I feel like I might put this in the consideration pile.

I believe 4 player online co-op will be sweet, however i really hope they leave at least 2 player local co-op as an option. The lack of local multiplayer games for the 360 or any new console for that matter is really starting to burn me.

It seems to me console designers have started going backwards on this one. The first console I owned was a NES 2 player, then a SNES 4 player, then a N64 4 player, xbox 4 player, now a 360 and im down to one player on most things. Its not that i enjoy having my screen cut up down and sideways, but if my wife, kid, budy, etc... wants to play with me i dont think i should have to buy another console so they can play online or sys link from another room.

Am I alone here?

Sorry for the rant.

2 Player co-op on 1 Xbox 360 is stated in the article. As for 4-player co-op on one Xbox 360. I don't think the Xbox 360 could handle that, in fact, I seriously doubt it would, without seriously comprising graphics.

This isn't new though, remember Perfect Dark for the N64? I remember playing with 4 player co-op multiplayer and it would get really choppy with only a couple of bots in the game. It is only natural that graphics would surpass a certain point where having to render so much on 3-4 screens gets too resource demanding, and thus is being cut out of many newer games. I'm sure that if it were possible for most games that slash 1 system co-op or 3-4 player, without comprising graphics to severely, they would do it, but the Xbox 360/PS3/Wii will be limited by hardware every time unless graphics are chomped.

i thout no 4 on one-box was because one 360 cant processes stuff (one player at each quarter of the map would over load the processor or the game... something dum like that)

tell me if my comment was dum too
