So i was just thinking, it would be very cool if Halo MCC had 4 player split-screen campaign and then thought it would be very cool if they made Halo Infinite’s campaign 4 playee split-screen.
But then this question came into my mind…
How many players CAN play Halo: Infinite’s campaign anyways?
I mean it should be easy to answer right? 4 players since every game after Halo 2 had 4 players co-op but then after all, this is going to be a spiritual reboot, so is it gonna be 2 players just like Halo CE? Cause in the only bit of the game we have seen which is the “Discover Hope” trailer, it doesn’t seem like there are any other characters other players can play as, are they gonna do a Halo 4 and have us playing as a whopping 4 MASTER CHIEFS? I mean, i’m not complaining as long as it’s CO-OP but after what they did with Halo 5 and literally adding characters just to have other players playing as actual characters and not just clones, it seems like 343i actually cares about realism in CO-OP and i really don’t think we can play as Brohammer(The Marine in the trailer)… or can we?
Overall i think it would be very cool to have a changing roster of playable characters just like Gears of War 3, like maybe we could play as The Arbiter at some point?!(i wouldn’t mind Locke as a 2nd player at some point, he did all he could to save Chief at the end of Halo 5 after all) And also they should have the characters splitting apart at some point, one problem i had with Halo 5 was that the fireteams were just stuck to eachother’s -Yoinks!- the whole time, It would be very fun if they add an option to choose who should do what at some point to split the work just like Gears of War!
I can’t even bring into words how fun it was to make 2 of my friends do the lame work in GOW 3 because i was Marcus, the Leader!
I think it would be neat if they took met in the middle with Halo 3 and 5.
The squad thing wasn’t really great, it took away the game’s ability to force Master Chief to be alone. Halo 3 did a really good job with the Arbiter, having him appear occasionally if you are playing Single Player, but using alternate cutscenes to place him in every scene if you’re playing co-op. However Usze 'Taham and Ntho 'Sroam, the player 3 and 4 characters, never appeared in any cutscenes or the story to begin with. In Halo Infinite they could do that, but with all 3 co-op characters instead of just one. Pick 3 other main characters that are going to recur in the story whether it’s single player or not. But tweak cutscenes based on how many players are playing so that they can follow Master Chief throughout the campaign when you play co-op.
As for who those characters should be, well, there are a ton of choices. I’d like to see exclusively characters that have already been playable in previous main series games though. So the list of possibilities would be:
The Arbiter *
Ntho 'Sroam
Usze 'Taham
Buck
Fred
Kelly *
Linda
Locke *
Vale
Tenaka
The asterisks are there to point out which character’s I’d personally want. (Shout out to Palmer, as she was playable in Spartan Assault, and would likely fit into the story better than Kelly if the rest of Blue Team isn’t there.)
Hard to say at this point, but I’m hoping for 4 player co-op with the rest of blue team filling out the team and be always present like halo 5. An option to turn off the squad should be implemented for people who don’t want that, and have them work like the arbiter in halo 3 when you play solo. An idea I saw on here awhile back that I liked was an ability to play as various characters in the series or your custom spartan/elite in campaign after you play through it once.

This makes sense to me. Give players the option of whether or not they want to play Co-Op in the campaign. People seem to appreciate it more when they have those options available.
Would be cool if players 2-4 get to play as what ever they want. Spartan, elite, brute etc. Why not? The only character that is required to be canon is player 1 really and having your teammates as random species would be fun
After that disappointing entry that was H5 they better have 4 player coop with split-screen on - at least - XSX and Steam! Actually scratch that, four player split-screen on all platforms!
I’m guessing 343 went 
s with some sort of cool campaign thing that includes many people playing at once…
I’ve never even played a campaign… What’s it like
I’ve read a few fanfiction stories where there were assault teams made o;f different species - human, elite and even a Separatist Brute wielding a human H247 machine gun. I kbnow it was only fanfiction, but the potential was still there.
