Artificial Intelligence has come a long way in recent years with some games creating scarily believable characteristics. But nothing quite compares to the unpredictable, and generally more inventive play styles that come when playing with real people. The game is never the same twice.
Although once a common feature for most games. The co-op option has been rather neglected in recent years, with games focusing more on the single player and death match style multi-player experiences.
Thankfully for Chart Box though, the combination of games such as Halo: Combat Evolved, introducing fully integrated co-op modes, and the widespread implementation of broadband has enabled co-op to make a return, with nearly every new game either featuring a co-op mode, or built from the ground up to take full advantage of the feature.
Chart Box takes a look at what games and mods scratch their COOP itch.
Remakes of the campaigns featured in Xbox Game Studios' Halo 2 and Halo 3 are currently in development, according to a new rumor.
That's Microsoft's gaming division for you...kill off developers making new ip while trying to capitalize off some long lost glory that has no hope of ever being what it once was thanks to recent decision making favoring unrealistic profit goals and greed. What a joke.
So much bitterness. Why be upset over something like this. Just don't buy it and stick with what you prefer.
Give it rest medman..., take a deep breath and try to not sound so invested in something no one is forcing you to read, buy, or play.
"Console war"is over, Sony won, be happy.

I'm invested in people losing their jobs and their livelihoods while Microsoft execs tout record profits for their gaming division. Not sure why you wouldn't be invested. Could be you one day. Good luck.
So what’s their solution to having multiplayer? Wait until Halo 7?
That was one of the most memorable parts of Halo..
I'm not sure spending the heavy investment in time to recreate the multiplayer here is the answer either though.
Remaking the campaigns is a great idea to bring the new players up to speed. But if the multiplayer is included in each it'll just fracture the player base of each release.
I think it might be better to turn these campaigns out quicker and have 1 multiplayer game to keep everyone in one place
Maybe having an Halo Online and just release the Combat Evolve maps. And when Halo 2 releases have those maps release. I don’t know but I would like to play a newer version of Halo multiplayer. I know times have changed, and Fortnite is all younger kids really play. But back then it was Halo and you connecting 6 Xbox’s together lol.
I agree. I think that'll segment the playerbase and once 7 comes out, players might realize it sucks and go back to the older games. Especially if 7 is live-servixe, they'll be shooting themselves in the foot on the one good leg they have to stand on.
Kinda surprised they didn't just port MCC.
Maybe more $ to by made with separate remasters
Wouldn't have that problem if it were MCC being released. Gotta wait for 7 to be disappointed with MP all over again cause if they half baked Infinite what makes people think they won't half bake the next game? MP works in past HALO games not cause of nostalgia but because it's MP that isn't concerned with the endless service approach.
There is so much cognitive dissonance over Infinite. People say they didn't like it because it was a live service. Yet if you look at what the criticisms of it were at the time it came out and when the playerbase started falling off, the primary issue people had was a lack of updates. In other words, it wasn't enough of a live service.
Which is really an encapsulation of the problem with multiplayer today. So many people think that they want to go back to the "good old days" of mid-2000s multiplayer (The first few Halos, Socom, the first few Battlefields, CS 1.6, etc), but in reality if a multiplayer game like that came out today, people would whine about the lack of content within a month of launch and go back to a live service with a grindy progression system.
Why not just port the MCC? 🤔 That was the easiest layup ever and you completely missed it
I thought the same thing, then I realized that they wouldn't include the remakes in that edition. We may get a different version of Halo MCC in the future with all of the remakes included. I just want them to include Halo 5 at some point for PC.
I wonder if Microsoft will port Reach over to Playstation I quite enjoyed that game. I played Halo 3 and it was not bad I have Halo 2 on the OG Xbox I just need some cables to hook up to my tv to play it.
The developers behind the original Borderlands discuss their last-second Hail Mary to change the course of the franchise.
ever since XIII came out I really loved the cell shaded artstyle in games. I probably wouldn't have tried it if it didn't have such a style like that

A co-op game is only as good as the people you find to play it with. Online games such as MAG and CoD/MW2 are excellent if you can find people that are on the same page as you are and communicate. Mag even rewards players for there teamwork,but I find very few people that talk in the game....much less heal you when your down! When I do find someone in the game with a mic,they are mostly trash talking and swearing like a drunken sailor!
My current favorite co-op game is Borderlands. Although I play mostly with people from my friends list,I have gotten into public rooms and have enjoyed the expereance. I have also had good luck in the beta/demo for the PS3 and xb360 of Battlefield/BC2.I also love the spec ops mode in MW2. It's what co-op is and should be all about!
Co-op is what makes a GREAT game even better and my best advice is to find the right group of people to play with. I miss those days on the xbox playing ghost recon2 and summit strike with up to 16 players in a co-op room. I made alot of great friends in those games....They just don't make them like that anymore!!!
