Cooperative play: Difference between revisions

Co-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 the [[Mombasa Streets]] sections of the campaign, where player one controls [[the Rookie]], players two through four each control an identical [[Orbital Drop Shock Trooper|ODST]]. During flashback missions, player one controls the main character of the flashback, but the other players still control generic ODSTs, even if the flashback character is accompanied by other members of [[unidentified Shock Trooper squad|the squad]]. For example, in [[NMPD HQ (level)|NMPD HQ]], the flashback is from the perspective of [[Kojo Agu|Romeo]], who is constantly accompanied by [[Edward Buck|Buck]]. In co-op mode, player one controls Romeo, but player two controls a nameless ODST, leaving Buck as an NPC. The same goes for players three and four in levels where more members of the squad are available.  

Finally, ''ODST'' adds a new co-op multiplayer gametype called [[Firefight]], in which players are allowed to pick their character, choose their personal emblem, and decide whether or not their character is wearing their helmet (with the exceptions of the Rookie, who must wear his helmet, and of [[Avery Junior Johnson|Sergeant Johnson]], who cannot wear one).
