Xbox Live Co-Op Night for August: Halo 3
8PM EDT on Thursday, August 20th
That's right, we're going back to our roots for this month's co-op night! With all the talk of Halo 3: ODST it's time to get in the Spartan mood with the original Halo 3 and its four player co-op campaign.
Festivities kick off at 8PM on Thursday, August 20th. To join up look for the following gamertags online:
co optimus
bapenguin
pherbear
Van Lingo
Shadokat Regn
DjinniMan
The goal is to play through as many campaign levels as we can, work on getting any skulls you might be missing, and just generally having a good ol' co-op time!
The Co-Op Experience in Halo 3
Halo 3 supports up to 4 Players for co-op play via Xbox Live. You can even play 2 players splitscreen cooperating with 1 or 2 other players over Xbox Live.
Player one will control the Master Chief, player two will control the Arbiter and players three and four will control two new Elite characters: N’tho ‘Sraom and Usze ‘Taham.

Aint nothing wrong with achievement whores... just cause you haven't got the bug!
Biohzrd451 at 10:14 AM on 8.13.2009
Did someone say my name?
smurphster at 10:21 AM on 8.13.2009
yeah but you guys don't bitch and moan if you can't get an achievement or not everyone is agreeing to go out of the way to help you or someone makes one wrong move and goofs up etc.
Zonf86 at 10:27 AM on 8.13.2009
Oh, so you really mean achievement moaning whores... ahem.
txshurricane at 11:04 AM on 8.13.2009
WILL be fun. I get to participate in about half of these, and they're always great.
Mrxknown_JG at 11:11 AM on 8.13.2009
Great picture, did you guys pose for that?
I'm tempted to join, but Bungie still restricts me from user-generated content. And I haven't done anything...I haven't even touched the game since August 08

Zonf86 at 11:19 AM on 8.13.2009
Maybe that's why
smurphster at 11:40 AM on 8.13.2009
still?? usually minor offenses are not penalized permanently. have you tried recently?
edit: besides, they don't restrict you in private games
ong_elvin at 11:58 AM on 8.13.2009
So...8pm according to which time zone? 'Cos there's an Aussie here who is never available Friday evenings.
txshurricane at 12:21 PM on 8.13.2009
It's always Eastern Standard Time, because Co-Optimus is "headquartered" on the eastern US coast. For future reference.
That's GMT -4 hours, I believe.
bapenguin at 12:40 PM on 8.13.2009
Crap - I usually put it up there but forgot this time.
Yeah Eastern Daylight Time right - which is -4. EST is -5.

I've nothing better to do that night.
ong_elvin at 06:21 AM on 8.17.2009
And I'm GMT 10 (I refuse to use the modern UTC) so... 14 hours ahead. Or 13, depending whether you guys use Daylight Savings. So... 10am. Yay!
So... do you normally include instructions on how to join Co-op Nights? I just need to Friend with Gamertag "cooptimus" right?

Jackel at 04:15 PM on 8.17.2009
I'm in the middle of a month-long move so I won't be there for this one, but next time for sure.
Armor Biff at 06:57 PM on 8.17.2009
Same here. But I'll be stuck at work, so I cant join.
ong_elvin at 06:13 AM on 8.19.2009
Finished all three Halo games on Legendary in solo... but I'm up for Legendary with skulls.
Anyone looking to get the level scoring achievements (eg, score 15'000 in level 1), I'll share the easy way with you. First off, don't play Heroic. Bungie suggests Heroic with one or two skulls. Don't. Instead, play on Easy with all skulls turned on. (Iron off if you want.) Bumrush your way through there, it should be easy even if solo. It's still easier than a plain Normal!
