Bungie struggling to get online Halo 3 co-op mode running
108
Despite a two player co-op mode having been confirmed for Halo 3, it unfortunately looks as if the respecitve game mode will only be available as a LAN or split screen option as Bungie are struggling to get the co-op mode running on-line. Speaking to EG, Bungie's Frank O'Conner stated "I think the biggest problem for us for online co-op is that we have a situation where you can be in a Warthog with five troops, almost a mile away from the other player. That's a significant challenge." Although it may be possible that an online co-op mode could come by way of a new piece of downloadable content in the future.

1 - Well done
If you ever watched the Halo 2 extra disk, all Bungie does is sit around. When it's time to get something done it's at the last minute; most dissapointing game of E3.

dude im a big halo fan, and i hate to say it but i agree. In the original halo, there are places, such as the opening scene in the cargo bay on the Pillar of Autumn, where the textures are placeholder and not finished. In H2 they admitted to rushing plenty im not going to get into it, and they also admitted they had to rush Halo 1. WTF bungie? if this game has no online co-op, and come on! DOOM 3 for Xbox 1 did!, holy crap man im gonna crap on you bungie.
swear to god that the past year all i read about from them is how they playtest the sh!t out of this game. what the fu@k is their plan; playtest, then add features later and playtest more? Bungie, you need a new position over there called "Slavedriver", and im your man for it. im pissed off man i was looking foward to online co-op, at least 2 player maybe 4. My friends and I dont live next door anymore and we dont have all thepeople and time to have halo parties. wtf bungie wtf bungie W T F

I'm probably one of the biggest Halo fans here and I wholeheartedly agree.. watching the video documentaries reveals that they spend hours upon hours testing and reworking multiplayer maps... which isn't necessarily that important in my opinion. The single player and multiplayer teams are different.. I'm not sure which one works on co-op, but they have had PLENTY of time to get it done.

1.6 - E3 trailer was a big disappointment for me
if ya never seen halo im sure you'ed thing its cool but with 4 million pre-orders WTF was that crap
i thought bungie would push the 360 to the max and wow us at every turn but so far i havent been wowed once WTF
the multi-player online is just that, no amazing tatics, no destructible environments from what ive seen, no amazing graphics, its just your bog standard run and gun, its still fun but i expected more
i thought the reason the graphics were so crap was to have four player on-line and know there saying it cant be done WTF

I think they're saying that to get people talking and to "freak" them out that there's not going to be online co-op out of the box.
Anyone remember how pissed everyone was that there was no online co-op in Halo 2, and then Bungie saying we tried, but were restricted on time.
Well, they've had H3 in development since before Halo 2 was releases... I think that's enough time... but again, I think they're just trying to generate some talk and get the hype going for this again as it seems to have died down a bit.

Gears of War - Small levels easy to make online co-op
Crackdown - Comic graphics base enemy AI big environments but now huge
Halo 3 -High Res good AI supports tons of characters and is up to i think they said a signal level is 6miles in size. Its kind of harder to make it run with 1 guy miles away doing stuff.

i see what you mean, but say if you have 2 player online Co-op going, you have the process power of 2 360s running the level; if you can run 2 player co-op on 1 console off line perfectly, why is it harder to do it online? seems like they are having problems with lag and latency between the 2 360's communicating online. whatever the reason, they have had since 2004 release of Halo 2 to get this co-op going and they havent done it still? hope they can get it in time for release but it sounds very sketchy now

Halo 2 was gonna have online co-op but they did not get it in. Remember to have co-op to work, it has to work with the level design, online stuff, characters, players etc. You have to take alot into account, I reckon they can get it in there, if not then they could release a patch to add it and fix many bugs etc which appear.

21 - Hype?
What is the hype for Halo 3? Alot of people have played the beta, so is it the single player campaign? I haven't seen anything that remotely compares to the hype for Halo 2. Maybe i just haven't seen it but where is the advertising for Halo 3? Halo 2 was at 7-11, TV commercials all the time, but Halo 3 seems rather quiet.

I think everyone whos comparing Halo 3's Co-op to other small games like rainbow six need to rethink what you said and learn to read. First Rainbow Six looks like total CRAP in co-op or online the textures go so freaking low rez bad example.
Second Frankie says "I think the biggest problem for us for online co-op is that we have a situation where you can be in a Warthog with five troops, almost a mile away from the other player. That's a significant challenge." Hmmm so rainbow and gears you can go a mile ways with a squad of troops? As far as Haze i don't know how big that games levels are going to be. You have to remember its about size and sync of a level. If its to big and its hard to sync all that online might not be easy.

23 - Not the end of the world, folks
I rather expected that online co-op would be a no-go for Halo 3. People comparing it to GOW, think for a second. How far are Dom and Marcus from each other in a level at the most? A hundred yards? GOW has a very linear level design, which makes on-line co-op possible. Same with Rainbow Six Vegas, etc. If, in Halo 3, as was stated in an earlier weekly update post on Bungie.net, all of halo 2's maps TOGETHER don't even make up one level in Halo 3, then obviously two players could get VERY far apart. So, would you rather have an awesome, huge yet detailed single player game with freedom to attack missions and levels as you see fit, or another narrow, linear FPS just so you can have online co-op? (The linearity of levels was the only thing I didn't like about GOW) So, get a friend that lives close to come over, sit on the couch and play Halo 3 with you, have some brews, and chill out. There will be plenty of stuff to do and fun to be had online anyway, in MULTIPLAYER, that is for sure!
