Yo!
Just wondering if there's gonna be co-op for Halo PC like there was on xbox?

To paraphrase the official words from Gearbox: It's really hard--so we probably wont.

They say it was possible on the Xbox because you were on the same system, but the latency of networking, even on a LAN, is too much to overcome. The co-op requires extremely precise timing.
 
I fail to see how co-op is different from a normal multiplayer game... :eek:
 
I think I read somewhere that they might include co-op as a patch later on...

That's what I was thinking, too. 70 ms is not much slower than 0 ms. If they try to make it part of an expansion pack or something, you can bet they won't get my money for it.
 
HandyBuddy, i agree with you that 70 ms is not much slower than 0 ms. But, what if that very very short amount of time was the difference between living and dying? wouldn't be too fun to play a co-op game and miss shooting something by a hair, or to have a Hunter in front of you, and then half a second later you're about 2x farther away from you then he was due to a lag spike.
 
again, I see how it's no different from a Slayer style multiplayer...

Wow... I didn't realise that other games had co-op too... maybe I should try them out as well. :D

Anyway... I decided to email Gearbox Software about this, and got a reply from Randy Pitchford:
"We are working on adding a networked coop feature, but we cannot predict when it will be complete or if it will meet our quality expectations enough to be released."

Looks like I have to be patient for a while... :p

Also Hi EP and people. I found this place again while looking through a oooollllllldddd backup. I have filled over 10TB and was looking at my collection of antiques. Any bids on the 500Mhz Win 95 fix?
Any of the SP crew still out there?
