No on-line Co-Op for Halo 3

Bungie's PR Superstar Frankie O'Conner has revealed that sadly on-line co-op will not be an initial feature of Halo 3. The game is due to be released in September and Bungie's media mogul said:

"'We're not dumb,' says Bungie's Frank O'Connor. '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 any more. If we can make it happen in a way that works well, we will - and if it works badly, we won't.'"

So close yet so far

So, those of you who were planning on sitting down with a friend over XBox Live and enjoying Halo together on release day will either have to save up for that air fare, or simply play alone alongside the Arbiter, crying softly to yourselves.
