The other day we reported on a hacking group that cracked opened the Halo 3 beta code and found values referring to new weapons, new vehicles, and new gametypes. But now it looks like the beta code has revealed more info about how we'll be playing the campaign. Over at the 7th Columnist they dug up some error text in the Halo 3 beta code that could confirm four player co-op, which states "The party size is too large to start the game. Up to 4 players may play coop on Xbox Live or System Link". Does this confirm four player co-op in campaign? Well, not just yet ... but we'll be an optimistic bunch and cross our fingers and toes. Anyone thinking four player co-op over Xbox Live would be the greatest thing since, say, sliced bread?[Thanks, DjDATZ]

Have they found anything about the warthogs winch. Apparantly the winch is deployed using the equipment function while driving.

I know all these new features are unconfirmed, but man, they sure sound great. It's all the stuff I wished was in Halo 2. Speed control, gravity control, 4 player co-op, co-op over live, destructable vehicle disabling... now if they would include an option to turn off the homing of the rocket launcher, that would finish off my list.

@10, true, but in Graw the Coop wasn't in the single player campaign, it was just the multiplayer maps with bots and objectives. I still enjoyed it but would FAR prefer Coop in the single player campaign. And for R6 Vegas, it's the same thing 4 player. So I don't say Meh, I say YEAH!!!!

Yeah... Halo 2 blows... But the beta (even though it is JUST a beta) blows away Halo 2.
Now that I've gotten that out of my system, yes. 4 player co-op would be great, but they are a little late on that bit.

At the very least it should have online Co-op for 2 players.
That was established in Gears as a must have for Good Console FPS and shooters.

4 player co-op of anything would be fun! Hopefully there's actually a story instead of the bullshit we were fed with Halo 2 - what a fucking awful campaign that was.

Having 4 player co-op is great, but all that other stuff that was 'uncovered'...its mostly 'trash code' don't get your hopes up seeing something like a fart grenade. alot of what is being 'found' is just junk code that'll never make it into the retail game.

I can't really picture playing the Halo 3 campaign with 4 people... 2 always seemed right to me. However, If they can pull it off well, then HELL YEAH, I'm excited.
