I know it will support online multiplayer/co-op, but can we expect to play a little local (2v2) multiplayer/2 man co-op?
I just haven’t read or heard anything in regards to that,
It will support local 2 player co-op like the original.
The multiplayer is just Reach on the new maps so if you already have Reach you can just install the maps from the CEA disc to your hard drive and access them on Reach. That way you would be able to play local multiplayer as well.
