The beta has been out for a while now and many modders in the Xbox 360 community have been poking around inside the game code. As a result a lot of new, unannounced, information has been gained, including a possible 4 player co-op mode.
Probably the biggest find is the former, which was discovered while modders were looking through some of the multiplayer options. The following error text popped up:
The game cannot start because all players are set to observer. Too many players for splitscreen. 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. Loading information from Xbox Live...So there you have it, up to four players will be able to play co-operatively in Halo 3 over either the system link or Xbox Live.
