Would you still buy H3 with no online co-op?

[L3giOn]

I'm almost considering not buying Halo 3 now. I know it's not confirmed, but if H3 doesn't ship with online co op, I might just leave it on the shelf. This is something I've wanted since the release of Halo 2.

What about you guys?

[veritas347]

i think i still will but i would have to say it would make the game a lot better if they included it but heck if i really need to play co-op i can always ask one of my brothers ;)

[L3giOn]

I might still buy it, just because it's Halo, but I would be extremely disappointed.

[highpass]

When the rumours were floating around of it having online coop it was a definite buy for me. Without, it reverts back to a rental.

[Webb]

Will I still buy it? Yes, yes I will.

[The Pants Party]

Fuck yes I will. The way you're good at Shadowrun, that's me with Halo (except, you know, better). I never even played the single player on Halo 2 until I got it for PC, and only then for the achievements. Don't get me wrong, it's a cool story, but I just loved playing online so much I never got around to it.

Plus, for months after Halo 2 came out, my buddy would come over once every week or two to play, so I can do the same with LAN co-op on Halo 3, not really worried about it.

Dude, I played Halo 2 online for 2 years straight. Just ask Kloud or Predator....;) I'm as big into the multiplayer as the next Halo Freak. I just realllly want co op. :(

[C Murder 810]

of course im gonna get it. online co-op isnt a big deal to me, i just love the multiplayer.

[The Pants Party]

Dude, I played Halo 2 online for 2 years straight. Just ask Kloud or Predator....;) I'm as big into the multiplayer as the next Halo Freak. I just realllly want co op. :(

I feel you, it would have been awesome and got me more excited about the campaign, but I can still pwn some noobs in the MP, so it's all good.

I guess you could play co-op with your wife?

[Stinkyf1re]

Dude, I played Halo 2 online for 2 years straight. Just ask Kloud or Predator....;) I'm as big into the multiplayer as the next Halo Freak. I just realllly want co op. :(

Same here bro ;) I've been a member of xboxlive ever since it was first introduced. I was playing Jedi Academy 2 on XBL before even halo2 started the online revolution. I was addicted for seriiously 2 years if not more. I will not only buy halo3, but im forking out the 130 for the legendary...with or without online co op. I'm sort of a halo fanboy :D

[The Pants Party]

I feel a Halo 3 Dream Team coming on. ;) And this time I get to be on it! (I know I'm not good enough at SR, but I'm more than confident in my Halo skills. :))

[Stinkyf1re]

I feel a Halo 3 Dream Team coming on. ;) And this time I get to be on it! (I know I'm not good enough at SR, but I'm more than confident in my Halo skills. :))

O hell yes, the SR DreamTeam definitly plans to convert to halo3 upon its release :D

[deathbypig37x]

O hell yes, the SR DreamTeam definitly plans to convert to halo3 upon its release :D

Now hold on there cowpokes, just because I'm smart enough to pass on the SR fad, doesn't mean I won't be on the Halo 3 dream team. ;)
Some of the guys remember me playing on the Beta...well multiply that times 100, because that's how much MORE I'll play it.
My Halo skills far surpass any other game I've ever played. So don't you dare think I won't eventually be on the Halo 3 dream team.

[JonnyC VT]

Or wouldn't the Halo 3 Dream-Team just be x360a Alpha clan?

I can't say that the Co-op won't prevent me from getting it, but I can say just as Legion said, it would be EXTREMELY disappointing. On to the "Dream Team" subject, I'm pretty much the greatest player of any single game ever. Just ask Legion, he'll tell you the same. Seriously, I piss excellence...

Love,
~David

[Sanction]

It's Halo, of course I'd buy it. I did the entire Halo 1 campaign on Legendary by meself. And I won't play multiplayer until I finish the campaign [by meself]. :P

[Th3 Apache Dog]

of course...sure i would love to have online co-op, but its not really a feature that will make me not buy the game...

[Havelocksmoke]

I will buy it but I won't like it. Thought it has never been offical this was something I was waiting on. I've been playing game with my buddy since snes, with conta, secret of mana, donkey kong country etc., etc. Sice halo 2 I've moved 1000 miles away and with XBL we still play games together. I'd hate to play halo3, the last of trilogy with out him.

But I'll still get it no doubt.

Lil off topic can anyone help with my gamer card problem.... it doesn't show my recent games any more. http://my.livecard.net/27960/Havelocksmoke.png

[Darth Odan]

It's a maybe. I mean, if all the major titles have co op, why can't Halo 3 have it? They'll most probably sell it in a patch for 4000 microsoft points.

[M7.Ninja]

Since I couldn't care less about online anything when it comes to playing games, this have absolutely no impact on me.

[Colby is KING]

online co op would be amazing but i already pre-ordered Halo 3 so its a yes

[Gun-Nut]

online co op would be amazing but i already pre-ordered Halo 3 so its a yes

I'll pre-order it once September hits :P

I was shocked when I read this game mite not have online co-op it was bad enough Halo 2 didn't, did not even let you have System Link! but no online co-op will not stop me from buying this, its almost a must own if you've already got the other two :P mite as well finish of the collections, Anyways I've read System Link co-op is in this one so that's all that matters, I would only do co-op with one person and they've no problem with bringing there 360 over round mine to link up ;)

[Tussell]

I'd buy it even if it didn't have multiplayer. I love the campaign for the games.

If I want to play multiplayer I'll play Halo 2 if that's all there was.

The beta showed that it was the same thing. And yes, I know it was just a beta... But still... Leave me alone. :mad:

I totally agree from that beta it seems we will be paying for the campaign since it seemed just like Halo 2 with a few new features :P I do hope the retail version brings more into the multiplayer.

[odysseus123]

well i can really care less, sometimes i say online co-op can kiss my ass. mostly because you meet people online who are annoying or stupid or just plain retarted. i'd rather play with a friend who comes over and wants to play.

[mightydionysus]

Online co-op would be great but it isn't even close to a deal breaker.

[C Murder 810]

well i can really care less, sometimes i say online co-op can kiss my ass. mostly because you meet people online who are annoying or stupid or just plain retarted. i'd rather play with a friend who comes over and wants to play.

yeah, me too. i tried to play a co-op game on gears and the guy i was with was dying on purpose. i would also rather play with a friend at home.

[theforcemonkey]

I wasn't going to buy it in the first place - does that count? :ass:nana

[Bolt]

Halo 3's multiplayer is going to kick ass! it'll easily be the best multiplayer on the xbox when it comes out so, yeah i will!

[Bolt]

I totally agree from that beta it seems we will be paying for the campaign since it seemed just like Halo 2 with a few new features :P I do hope the retail version brings more into the multiplayer.

Read the new EGM article, HOLY SHIT! does it have some new awesome shit. The video replay and screenshots are gonna be awesome, and then theres FORGE...

[Maka]

Im still gonna buy it, but be disappointed.

[Walcherina]

If there's not going to be I will definitely still buy it, that doesn't matter very much to me.

[italianstallion]

If it doesnt, ill bitch, but system link will work fine for me.

[Adam Miller]

I would prefer it obviously but if it doesn't have it then still yes. I don't honestly believe that anyone who bought 1 and 2 won't buy this game because of it.

[odysseus123]

I would prefer it obviously but if it doesn't have it then still yes. I don't honestly believe that anyone who bought 1 and 2 won't buy this game because of it.

Agreed, unless you are a newcomer and like online co-op then maybe, but i agree with you.

[nightmare975]

I'm buying it, my dad is a big Halo fan, so I'll have at least an offline partner.

[JacePro]

I'll still buy it but I would be extremely disappointed. I'm not so much interested in the Co-op as I am on the matchmaking.

[MALDUNE]

I Have To Buy Because Its Pre-Ordered So Either Way Il Live With It!!!

[deathbypig37x]

I Have To Buy Because Its Pre-Ordered So Either Way Il Live With It!!!

You know you can cancel a pre-order and get your money back if you want to right? well, at any rate, just keep your pre-oreder.

I don't see how this is SUCH a big deal. I mean, I would buy the game if it only had singleplayer, and even if it only had multiplayer. Online Co-op should not be a deal-breaker. Yes, it is disappointing that it might not be available, but what can you do?

yea really :Bounce:

[mrsnugglesalot69]

you bet your sweet ass i will

[Conker Rules All]

if you look at GoW i didn't even know about online co-op when i bought it and still loved the game to get 15,000 kills in multiplayer and will play halo 3 alot longer no matter if i get 1000/1000 in it or not it's gonna be great and i also never played halo 2 campaign only when my XBL didn't work and i played missions 1-3 over and over again

[highpass]

Agreed, unless you are a newcomer...

Quite the opposite... if you've already played 1 & 2 to death this is simply more of the same with a few extra gadgets and pixel pushing gimmicks. Online Coop was something new.

[bplayak]

My first post since I've returned from vacation! YEAH!

I really would like to say, "No, I'm going to hold out and wait for the co-op over live", BUT it's almost like I'm pre-programmed just to buy this game when it comes out ya know. It's one of those games that you are just compelled to buy right away. I mean say they released Halo 3 without the campaign even active, I'd still buy the game for the multi-player. I just think Halo is one of those games, that no matter how much they could possibly strip it down, people will buy no matter what. I feel ya though Legion, I'm going to be so so so disappointed if it doesn't release with co-op live. My best friend and I already have the day put in to be off work to play, so it would be quite a bummer if it doesn't release with that feature.

[Fritz White]

i'd love to make a statement to bungie like boycotting their game if they didn't include this, but that's because i'd want them to know how much they're pissing me off with this. but the only reason they have so much power to piss me off is because i love halo. so no, i can't boycott their game over this, but i'll mail them a turd or something if they don't include co-op so they know how i feel.

[bocaj_nottap]

Of course I'm gonna buy it. It would be kinda nice to have, but split screen/LAN will work fine for me...

And about this H3 Dream Team...I want in on some of that business...I take my game seriously. I know everyone and their dog thinks they "0wnz0r" at it, but for real...try me out...I'm not bad...I think it'd be good to just have a clan of x360a..ers...

[GoldenSangheili]

Wow, this game will be so awesome. I cannot believe people will not get it because of the no online coop. You seriously need to consider what is wrong with you. With all the new crap we've found out about like forge, you'd have to be a crack-addict to not want to buy it.

[highpass]

You seriously need to consider what is wrong with you.

Excuse them for expressing their opinions! :rolleyes:

Fact of the matter is there are plenty of innovative, original IPs coming out around the same time that merit my money more than this does. Simple as.

[odysseus123]

explain to me what you meant by "original" because the fact of the matter is that this game is because then it wouldn't be our times "Star Wars", says Peter Moore himself.

[TheMexicanStallion]

I don't care too much if there is no online co-op. I was already planning on playing the game with a friend next door. So the small trip won't be a big deal.

[Carlp]

I would definatly still buy it!
I wouldnt even have such a problem with no online coop.
Because you get the true coop feeling anyway with somebody else sitting with you in front of the box.
So I would be more disappointed when there would be a online coop but no offline coop!

[whomynextvictem]

Im buying i dont give a shit if it dosnt have online co-op. There is live!:Bounce::Bounce:

[Fritz White]

i hate sharing my screen. it's confusing. same system co-op sucks.

[odysseus123]

you may hate sharing your screen, but unless a good friend has xbox live, split screen is your best bet :)

[MASTERCHEAT]

I would buy halo 3 without the online coop. It would be great, but its not the most important part to the game.


http://my.livecard.net/27960/MASTERCHEAT2.png

[NevEP]

What's sad is BUNGIE never announced online co-op. Just a ton of rumors they had to address. They said if they can get it working they will. Gears of War had online co-op because it was basically a corridor shooter. There were no huge wide open areas, as in Halo 3. There are far more enemies in Halo 3, too, I might add. In fact, Bungie said in a single encounter, there were more active enemies than in the entire first level of Halo.

So from a technical stand point, getting two separate machines to run the same thing simultaneously across many many miles, lag free, would be quite an undertaking. Not to mention, Gears didn't even have lag free co-op. Crackdown, too for that matter, although Crackdown's lag was much worse than Gears. Besides, how many people do you know that actively plays (meaning more than two times a week) Gears co-op on LIVE?

Just because a game does not have Co-Op or multiplayer does not make it a bad game. Halo 3 will have amazing multiplayer, single player, and local Co-Op, at the least. Bioshock is only single player and it is quite amazing, as well. Personally I'd rather a good fleshed out multiplayer and single player than have a team dedicated to Co-Op rather than have some badly implemented functions, as the case in Gears with its shoddy multiplayer system.

[Exane22]

i dont really care so im still getting it, but the only thing that will piss me off is if they end up charging people for it in an EARLY update. That would be just BS

[Fritz White]

i just want my fucking co-op. online. it's one the biggest game companies (if not the biggest) in the world, backed by microsoft, and they're about to give us the biggest, most anticipated console game ever. they've had a long time to work on this, and i'd wait longer if that's what it took for them to get it right. people have been bitching about online co-op since it was ignored for Halo2. i'm paying $125 for this stupid game and i want my online co-op.

if i don't get co-op then of course i'll still play, it's Halo3, but don't say it's too hard and can't be done. they can do it and they should.

[odysseus123]

well you know what you aren't one of the creators are you? and tell me how and how will they make this work? because apparently you have all the answers right? im waiting...

[angry]

I'm almost considering not buying Halo 3 now. I know it's not confirmed, but if H3 doesn't ship with online co op, I might just leave it on the shelf. This is something I've wanted since the release of Halo 2.

What about you guys?

Same here m8 i think the game would not be good attall if it had no online co-op, so i would have to say maybe.

[Smokez]

If there is no Online coop I will still buy it but only because my gf is. I will be playing Unreal way way more then halo 3. I wish there is 4 player coop tho instead of 2.

[Butters]

Can you actually NOT buy a halo game? Is it possible...?

[Fritz White]

i know nothing about programming, but someone said gear's co-op worked because the campaign maps were smaller and more corridor-like. i played online co-op for the first time 2-3 years ago when Doom3 came out and it was awesome. if the Halo maps are too big and wide-open why can't they break them up into smaller sections and give us some loading screens. does that make any sense? i'd put up with that for co-op. we can get 16 players onto maps that seem pretty big to me in Halo 2, and Valhalla wasn't small either. couldn't they break up the campaign like that? they did it with the Darkness. irritating as the load-screens were, it was still a great story and didn't detract much from the experience. i don't know anything about programming and what not, but you seem to, so if my idea wouldn't work could you explain why in layman's terms. i just want online co-op. i've played great online co-op twice already and i don't understand why it's so hard. it seems like they've had a lot of time, but if they need more i'd prefer it. i really want them to get the game right and online co-op is a big point for me.

[italianstallion]

I think we can put this baby to rest now....halo 3 will have 4 player onlilne co-op. check bungie.net later today.

[Ho5tiLe D]

hell yeah i would

[ACTIONBSTRD]

No matter what im getting it but it would be nice to have online co-op

[odysseus123]

yo dude it's been confirmed for a week or two now there's going to be 4 player online co-op. someone please lock or delete :locked

[Gorjira]

There will be though. But if there was none...Id be pretty screwed with legendary =P

[Fritz White]

Legendary's like Call of Duty2 on vet. Lots of trial error. It's really hard, but play the same part enough times and eventually you'll get it.

[o Echo 419 o]

No online co-op wouldn't deter me from buy the game.

[J Lo]

Can you actually NOT buy a halo game? Is it possible...?

:whs

If there was no online co-op, I would be very disappointed, but I would definitely still get the game. I mean, c'mon, it's Halo for God's sake. :)

[Fritz White]

4 player online co-ops confirmed so you won't be disappointed
