Today the Hushed Casket is a thriving community of gamers, playing together and publishing news and stories that have appeared in major media properties like Newsweek, G4TV, USA Today, and Penny Arcade. Some game developers have even referenced our guides and news to support their gamers. We don't play Halo. We LAN Halo.

Good read.

What the Hell is wrong with people?

One thing that has me irritated about this issue is... why are people bitching about the lack of being able to play with four people? Okay, no online co-op? I can see how people would be disappointed with that. But the fact that people are whining that you can't play with three others in cooperative mode is absurd.

A cooperative mode complicates the gameplay. Let's say you played Halo 3 on Legendary by yourself, and you got a decent challenge but it wasn't too tough. Well, what the Hell is going to happen when you add two or three more players? It's going to be a cake-walk if more than one other player plays with you.

Or let's look at it the other way. Let's say Halo 3 on Legendary is so tough, you and all your three friends can just barely beat it by yourselves. How, then, do you think it would be possible for one player to beat Legendary by him or herself?

Unless they implement a feature, that, I don't know, ramps up the difficulty or the amount of enemies and obstacles to make the challenge even and consistent according to varying numbers of players in co-op, which I think would cost time and effort much needed else where, four player co-op would not work out too well.

Eh, but that's just me. End rant.

Now, the time I think is when people should get pissed is if co-op again becomes limited to split-screen, which would be oh-so-freaking retarded.
