[u]Very nice read, Frankie sounds less sarcastic than usual.[/u];) 12. Will Halo 3 feature an online Coop Mode? Frank O Connor: There are quite a few things that didn’t make it into Halo 2 so we get asked if they’ll be in Halo 3. If they didn’t make it into Halo 2 there’s a very good reason for that.
