"Jeremy tagged along with the EGM crew and ended up penning half of the cover story you'll be reading shortly, so he's obviously frustrated over the whole mess, especially how the online co-op details have been so blown out of proportion -- Bungie's working on the feature, they just weren't ready to commit to it shipping in the box when we visited them a month or so ago. Don't fret, they're working on it."

There you have it folks! :)

I just don't see the point. Co-op is fun because you can sit next to your buddy and play. Rainbow Six Vegas and more lose so much of their charm when you do online co-op... it's just not fun. I'd rather they spent the time working on something else.

Well not everyones case is the same, I live hundreds of miles away from my firends now, I want to play co-op with them and online co-op is the answer.

What the article said was that Bungie wasn't ready to commit for it a month or two ago. Now they are working on it. So it WILL be there at launch.

Selective Reading? More like readingcomprehension.

Online co-op rules. Both me and my buddy can be playing together in our own comfortable enviorments. And we can play on our own screen, plus with the headset it's like your friend is sitting next to you. Online co-op only adds to the experience, it doesn't take away any "charm"

Bottom line --> It will be there. -_-

I think the TC is well aware of the wording.

I love coop mainly because I hate playing games alone. It's boring and my friends can't be over my house 24/7. It's always fun beating Legendary mode with your friends. Not only does it become easier, but less frustrating too.

Er, not really. They said that they knew people wanted it, but there are design issues. Specifically, they said they're working on it and if it works well it'll be in the game, if it doesn't it wont.

Ok, fine, that still does not confirm it will make launch. Don't get me wrong, I pray to Jeebus it does, but thats no confirmation.

Can you read? They said there working on it that means that that might have or might not have it for launch.

Ok fellas! It is uncertain whether or not the online co-op feature will be available at launch, but I'm positive we'll get it eventually.

That you don't need Online Co-Op to have a good game. Offline Co-Op is going to be just as fun.

System Link Halo parties are well known and respected.

Easy to set up and fun as hell.

But it is quickly becoming a must on console shooters. And no, not everyone will have more fun with offline splitscreen.
