Something people forget about halo co-op is depending on the game you are either other characters or clones this is all based on the story. it also has the strange every other game is clone cycle.
Halo CE
player one: chief
player two: linda (none canon.)
Halo 2
player one: chief/arbiter
player two: see player one
Halo 3
Player one: chief
player two: arbiter (Superior player)
player three: named elite 1
player four: named elite 2
Halo 4
player one: chief
player two-four: chief
Halo 5:
yeah no keeping it up for this one, you are each a different character
halo infinite
player 1: chief
player 2: nerfed chief
player 3: nerfed chief
player 4: nerfed chief (let us make a convoy)
So there are two patterns I want people to see
-
Every other game we are clones.
-
If the story is more focused on single characters like 2 and infinite we are clones.
-
CE was unique in while you are a clone you are technicly a fractured timeline where linda wasn’t “KIA” in a cryo pod.
