You want to see real Combat evolved. Imagine a 4 man fire team entering a building to secure an objective while one man covers them from afar with a sniper rifle and another 3 secure the perimeter with a warthog, as hordes of enemies come for them. This is the kind of game we could have if 343 leaned into coop instead of snuffing it. The recent talk on the upcoming coop gave a great narrative of how we’ve all felt playing the original Halo and most of the games beyond. It is utterly perplexing to hear a developer talk about the shear fun of coop then see them knee cap this aspect for years. This is just so frustrating.
Early in the Halo years many of us debated which game we liked more: Halo or Modern Warfare 2. It was the coop aspect which Modern warefare didn’t have that always made the choice Halo over MW2. Its funny now, Halo has pretty much abandoned this while Modern Warfare has completely adopted it. More coop should have been the push after Reach not whatever this is. Hopefully Halo infinite is the end of this latest trilogy and the next trilogy can make coop central to the game.
