That’s dumb. Are you people honestly so lazy that you couldn’t modify it for 4 player without screwing everything up?
I agree that wouldve been awesome…
Yea why is their no 4 player co-op?
It could be because of the old school to new school in the campaign but still WTF on having no 4 player co-op.
It ruins the fun with friends
Epic wised up with Gears of war 3 and went to Four player co-op
All the halo FPS had 4 player Split screen
Sorry about that I meant to say split screen

The “for the nostalgia” is such BS. The nostalgia wouldn’t be ruined with 2 extra friends.
im guessing because the game engine wouldn’t be able to handle 4 players, or that it would simply be too easy since the game was only designed to have enough enemies for 2 players max. And seeing how 343 wanted to keep the gameplay completely pure, adding more enemies would’ve broken this (and the additional amount of enemy AI may have caused the engine to glitch, sputter, crash, or just give up. Remember this is a game from 2001, here. No one knows if it could handle all that without issues.)
Well it is using the CE engine there could be problems with 4 players in campaign.
You’re insulting the people who are even bringing this game to you by calling them lazy? Do you know anything about coding? I myself am not a game maker, but I can speak of HTML when I say that the littlest thing will mess up the whole project. I’m sure 343 has tried their hardest to make this the best experience it can be. If it’s not possible, it’s not possible. As other’s have said, it’s a very old engine we’re dealing with too. It wasn’t made to deal with 4 players, and if 343 has to rewrite the whole game to have 4-player co-op, then there is no point. Halo’s campaign co-op has never worked too good in the first place.

Yes, I am. They made the game lazily.
A better question is… Why is there no Theater mode?
> A better question is… Why is there no Theater mode?
Because it’s using the CE engine.

Then why ask if there’s no 4 player co-op?
I’m sure 343i could simply add Theater to the CE engine without altering gameplay at all. If they couldn’t, how can we trust them with making Halo 4?
they could have added more enemies
or let it be its optional…
does everyone not realize its running the original halo code? theater mode was built into the later games when the engine was built. its not a simple line of code they left out out of spite. hell, in halo 3 theater mode in story mode hardly worked anyways. i don’t think you people understand how complex game code is, let alone building a new graphics engine OVER the original code and making them seamless. the game is only $40, and is a tribute to the classic, not a new game.
if your not happy about the hard work they are doing, while staying true to the original. then dont buy the game. simple.
> if your not happy about the hard work they are doing, while staying true to the original. then dont buy the game. simple.
Agreed.
Also a lot of you are uninformed. 343i is NOT making CEA, it is a project by Sabre Interactive(and I’m not 100% sure but I believe Certain Affinity is working on the MP packs). The reason you’re not seeing a lot of things people are complaining about is because the game is running the original CE engine with a second graphics engine running on top. So the only things that can be added that are not in the original CE are simple, graphical items (like switches that activate terminals).
As for the theater question, I don’t think you understand how theater works. It’s not a video of your game, as that would ridiculously huge to save. It is nothing more than the data sent from Host to Peers in a game for example: player movement/actions, weapons, physics, etc. That is why your game saves are a few MB’s as opposed to hundreds of MB’s. This kind of data saving has to be built into the game, it can’t be just thrown on top like a graphics engine can.
I understand that some of you are bummed about a lack of this feature or that feature, but it’s basically the most amazing FPS campaign of last gen with a double-sized map pack for REACH, all for $40. To me, that’s a great deal. Maybe to you it’s not, that’s fine. But to say the people at 343i, Sabre, or Certain Affinity are lazy is not only uninformed, but childish.
Why make the game in the first place?

all ill say is you supersauce clearly know nothing about game design and how something like this works, I for one do have knowledge and experience making games as I am currently studying software and game development in college, it is exactly as you say it Draiko if its not possible its not possible and no amount of complaining will fix that. I want to be rich but just because i complain about it doesnt make the government give me a few million to keep me happy.
you’re just an ignorant spoiled brat complaining because you thought of something you want and now you cant have it.
> they could have added more enemies
> or let it be its optional…
not possible it would be messing with AI and level design which is not something they wanted to do stop spouting nonsense and listen to someone who knows what they are talking about.
They are using the HALO CE ENGINE
These types of changes were not added to the game because the engine was simply not built for it.
There will be 2 player co-op, over live, correct?

Affirmative.
