Players utilize the same bases and spawn buildings and units from a single pool of resources.Ĭo-op is also available in Halo 3: ODST just as in Halo 3, two players can play on one Xbox with split-screen, but up to four players can play at once via Xbox Live or system link. In Halo Wars co-op, two players effectively control two separate armies that work in tandem. However, unlike in other Halo games where co-op can be played on a single console, it is not possible to play local co-op in Halo Wars. Two player co-op can be played in split-screen mode in all three primary Halo games, but three or four player co-op in Halo 3 is only available over system link or Xbox LIVE, with at least two Xboxes with two players on each.Ĭo-op is available in the Halo Wars campaign, both via system link and over Xbox LIVE. Player one, as the Master Chief, begins most level and respawns after dying with Human weaponry such as the battle rifle or assault rifle, while the other players, as Elites, begin most levels and respawn with Covenant weaponry such as Covenant carbines and plasma rifles. In three or four player co-op, player three controls N’tho ‘Sraom and player four becomes Usze ‘Taham, though these characters do not appear in cutscenes, and are not referred to in dialogue.
In addition, all the Arbiter's lines of dialogue outside cutscenes are removed. Certain cutscenes and lines of dialogue are altered to reflect the fact that, unlike in the single player mode, the Arbiter never leaves the Chief's side. In Halo 3, when there are two players, player one plays as the Master Chief and player two controls the Arbiter. Halo 3 allows players to assume the role of John-117, Thel 'Vadam, Usze 'Taham and N’tho 'Sraom in cooperative play.
Halo 2 was planned for online co-op mode for up to two players on Xbox Live, but due to time constraints Bungie was not able to perfect online co-op for Halo 2, the user interface still contains clues as to how Halo 2 would have had co-operative game mode, and it's even more apparent modders were able to activate this game mode. The presence of a second version of the character is non-canon, and is never referred to or reflected in any of the cutscenes, with the singular exception of the opening cutscene of Halo: Combat Evolved/ Halo: Combat Evolved Anniversary, in which two "Master Chiefs" are depicted emerging from cryopods in the Pillar of Autumn's cryo-bay. In Halo: Combat Evolved and Halo 2 co-op, when playing a level involving the Master Chief, both players will control two identical copies of the Chief when playing a Halo 2 level involving the Arbiter, both players will control identical Arbiters. Generally however, the benefit of added players more than makes up for the increased difficulty. Scaling is also found in Halo 4, albeit to a less noticeable degree than was present in Reach. In Halo: Reach this tactic is less feasible, because difficulty "scales" in co-op the more players, the greater the difficulty. In many of the other Halo games, players will often attempt to beat Legendary in co-op instead of single player, because they consider Legendary too difficult to attempt alone. Additionally, in Halo 2, if two players are playing on Legendary difficulty and either of them die, then both of them have to start at the last checkpoint (similar to the effect that the Iron Skull has on cooperative play). If all players are killed, they will restart at the last saved checkpoint. In the sequels, each level has a designated pair of weapons that respawning characters start with. When a player respawns in Halo: Combat Evolved, they are always equipped with an MA5B assault rifle and a Type-25 plasma pistol. The player who dies has to wait until the player or one of the players who are still alive are not engaged in combat and are at a safe location before they are able to respawn. If one player dies, they can come back to life, or "respawn". Co-op gameplay consists two or more people playing through the campaign as a team.
