Isn't there some sort of ping limit in a lot of Xbox 360 games that breaks Xbox Connect and XLink Kai?

I'm not aware.

I believe there's a ping limit for system link (something like 30ms) coded into Xbox 360 games that stops them from working over tunneling software.

why dont they just make Coop harder so that if one of the players leaves the other player the game is too difficult for the one player to progress.

It will probably make the 2nd player party host, then that would grant them access to the camaign difficulty.

I aslo love how you play as the demon through the whole thing instead of switching back and forth, with the dervish.

I say 90 player online Co-Op. j/k.

Anyways, It would be pretty hard to implement 4 player co-op. Imagine Halo co-op. With idiots, They keep on going back and forth through the same checkpoint, spawning you in it over and over again. Or just as you are in the middle of an awesome battle, someone accidentally triggers a checkpoint spawning you somewhere else. It would be annoying. They should just stick to 2 player online co-op, and no more.

While I agree with the 2 players, those scenarios would be better solved by not teleporting players. Those issues are not at all relevant to the number of people in a game.

I think that if there's 2 player co-op there should be a scoring system like when u finish u dont finish until the other player finishes, then u both get ur scores and move on to the next level

Tural · Post by **Tural** » Thu Jul 19, 2007 8:40 pm

There is a scoring system, it's called Meta-Game mode. It would be pointless to have scoring in standard campaign.

I can't stand not playing halo 3.
Everytime I go in my room and load crackdown I always go to downloads and right before I hit Play Beta I say "Fuck, I can't play it"

bibbit · Post by **bibbit** » Fri Jul 20, 2007 11:05 am

You poor thing. >_>
I never got to play. I got my 360 about 3 days after it started.

That sucks bibit, it was really fun. I would like them to have 4 player co-op, but if it going to be shitty, don't include it. Maybe if there are 2 versions of co-op mode. Like how in Halo 2, if you play co-op some of the first cinematics are not there. Like so 2 player co-op is for the story, and 4 player co-op just for fun, no real story or anything. I mean, like the same game play, maybe a bit harder, but the cinematics and such don't have to make sense.

OFFTOPIC: I was like, "Yeah, the beta is over, but I'll just play Halo 2...." I couldn't go back.

Tural · Post by **Tural** » Fri Jul 20, 2007 12:05 pm

Sandbox campaign? Not a good idea. That's basically multiplayer with bots.

Also, there's a mode not devoted to the story already, as I've said; Meta-Game.

And?

xlRainlx · Post by **xlRainlx** » Fri Jul 20, 2007 12:15 pm

I say 2 player co-op all the way! Halo co-op has always been 2 players so if they made it 4 it would compeletely make co-op boring and un-haloish.

And Bungie has publicly stated that they don't want to do that sort of thing.

Also, I'd like to restate this:

Tural wrote:There's really nothing to discuss here. They say they might have online co-op. They've been saying that for months. What difference does it make now? They didn't say they would not have it, and they did not say they would. You're basing an entire discussion on an assumption for which you have no evidence to support. There is nothing to say other than "I hope they [do/don't] have it online."

And add to it as well:

Achronos wrote:You guys do realize you're talking about an an out of context quote taken from a blurry picture of part of a stolen page of an article written during a visit made more than a month ago, right? Just checking.

Bungie has no comment on the status of online co-op in Halo 3 at this time. We'll let you know when we have something to say. In the meantime, I shall continue to enjoy watching the Internet spazz out over something some bloggers trolling for website hits wrote. The amount of debate you guys can go through with zero actual facts is quite amazing.
