3 Player Local Co op: Difference between revisions

The '''3 Player Local Co-op''' [[glitch]] allows players to bypass the two-player limit when playing [[Co-op]] in the ''[[Halo]]'' games. In ''[[Halo: Combat Evolved]]'' and ''[[Halo 2]]'', this is done strictly through [[modding]]; only in ''[[Halo 3]]'' is it possible with a glitch.

==Walkthrough==

''Halo 3'' is shipped with the ability to launch two-player Co-op mode on Local Play; or with four players over [[Xbox Live]] or [[System Link]], using at least two [[Xbox 360]]s. However, it is possible to log a person in to a Local Play game just before the game starts.

Using Controller 1 or 2, start the game. As the timer counts down, press '''A''' on Controller 3, and select '''Temporary Profile'''. Wait for the screen to fade, and select '''Yes''' just as the screen goes completely black. If you select it too soon, the screen with return to the lobby and the count down will stop; to remedy this and reattempt the glitch, sign Player 3 out of the lobby and sign them back in, bearing the instructions in mind.

Please note that when using this glitch on a level containing [[Cortana Moment]]s, the game ''will'' freeze when the Moment occurs. Oddly, though, [[Gravemind Moment]]s play just fine. This is likely because of the effect used in order to make Cortana appear on the screen, as Gravemind Moments only change the player's field of view and overlays a screen effect, much like the recording on Jenkins' helmet in [[343 Guilty Spark (Level)|343 Guilty Spark]]. The two effects are very much different in that one is animated and the other is an overlay, although both play a sound clip and slow the player down.

Because of this, the best levels to use this glitch on are:

*[[Sierra 117 (Level)|Sierra 117]] Rally Point Alpha

*[[The Ark (Level)|The Ark]] Mission Start

*[[Halo (Halo 3 Level)|Halo]] Mission Start.
