Halo 3 to offer 2-4 player co-op over Xbox Live

FMTA writes: "Even after it was previously speculated that Halo 3 would lack multiplayer co-op over Xbox Live, Bungie has now announced that Halo 3 will allow up to four players in online co-op games. "Of course we were working on it, but we were also working on something better. Not two player co-op. Not three-player co-op, but up to four player co-op. Online. On Xbox Live, or sure, System Link if you prefer." This comes as a pleasant surprise after being disappointed by statements to the contrary. However, split-screen games are still limited to two players on your local Xbox. An additional one to two players can join via Xbox Live or System Link."
