Four Player Co-op in Halo 3 Confirmed by Microsoft VP Jeff Bell
In an interview with Major Nelson/Larry Hryb that was just posted on Xbox.com, Microsoft Vice President of Global Marketing, Jeff Bell, was being interviewed about his thoughts on the Xbox 360. It’s a great interview, and right at the end of it, he is talking about how co-op with his son was the reason he loved Halo and Halo 2, he then says the following:
“Now, we’re really looking forward to playing with my three sons, all together on Halo 3.”
He said earlier in the interview that he has three sons, ages 10, 14, and 18. Four person co-op was already semi-known due to code of it being found during the beta, but this is the closest thing to a confirmation we’re going to get until Bungie finally admits it, which I would expect to be soon.
