You know my beefs with Co-op. Its never hard enough and consoles aren't powerfull enough to calculate all the variables into a challenging game for various amounts of players.

Even on legendary it was a piece of cake with 4 players.

The trailer points to a prequel.

Glad I'm not the only one It's good fun in co-op but that's entirely down to the people you play the game with. The game (guess I should say games actually) itself imo is really not that great. Certainly not the be all and end all of FPS games like some people seem to think it is.

COD4 > Halo

Nuff said

Oof, controversial!

Halo has always been about the multiplayer really. Halo 3 was the most polished console multiplayer experience out there when it was released, and is still certainly one of the best. All the stats Bungie track and make available is some chunky icing on that cake, helps you fall for it.

I prefer Halo 3 multiplayer to COD4 multiplayer, but I think that's just because I played Halo first, there's nothing wrong with COD4, and the perks system is going to be cloned ad infinitum.

Halo 3 Multiplayer > COD4 Multiplayer
Halo 3 4 player COOP > COD4 Single Player > Halo 3 Single player.

imo. But both very accomplished FPS', if for different reasons.

I tried Halo 3 multiplayer, couldn't get on with it at all despite numerous attempts in case it was just me at the time but nope.
Much preferred CoD4 but I think a lot of that for me is the setting.

Thing is I wasn't overly fussed with Halo 1 or 2 either. They were fun in co-op but single player, I just got bored fast as neither seemed overly great games to me. Certainly none of them deserve the ridiculously high scores magazines have given them!

Halo 2 multiplayer (in game) is the best. Halo 3 matchmaking (pre-game) is the best.
