This is sad news… Online co-op was one of the features I was most excited for in Halo 3 and now it’s gone. The Latest issue of EGM has confirmed that online co-op is not ready just yet. They have some technical hurdles that seem a bit tough to over come. For now you’ll have to settle for playing co-op in person… oh the agony.
There is a possibility that the game will get a future update to enable this feature. Hopefully…
Here’s an official quote form Frank O’Conner in EGM
We’re not dumb. We know that people want it and we’re trying to make it happen. 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. And there’s lots of design things you could do to prevent that from happening, but they would make it not feel like Halo anymore. If we can make it happen in a way that works well, we will - and if it works badly, we won’t.
