Halo 3 Beta Glitch Reveals 4 Player Co-Op Mode

Just a couple of days ago, modders were able to break into the Beta of Halo 3 and extract the most vital information ever about a game – everything: weapons, vehicles, game types, variations and so on. Although it sounds like a long-shot for Bungie to have left all this in the open, it sounds quite real. Thus, TeamXbox has posted the entire contents of what modders found. One in particular strikes you right in the kisser: a Four player co-op mode.

"Only 2 players may play splitscreen coop on the same Xbox 360 console. The party size is too large to start the game. Up to 4 players may play coop on Xbox Live or System Link," says TeamXbox.
