Cooperative play: Difference between revisions

In ''Halo 3'', when there are two players, player one plays as the Master Chief and player two controls the Arbiter. 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 addition, all of the Arbiter's lines of dialogue outside of cutscenes are removed. 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. Player one, as the Master Chief, begins most level and respawns after dying with Human weaponry such as the [[BR55HB battle rifle|battle rifle]] or [[MA5C assault rifle|assault rifle]], while the other players, as Elites, begin most levels and respawn with Covenant weaponry such as [[Type-51 carbine|Covenant carbine]]s and [[Type-25 plasma rifle|plasma rifle]]s. 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.
