I'm not saying this is true, I just found it (haven't even opened the link):
"This info comes from my annual store conference so there won't be any link.
Conference sucked this year. Not near as much free crap as years prior. I did get a handful of sweet things though. I'll get a free DS when they ship, free halo 2 when it ships, a few othere decent things.
The crystal Xbox will be coming to the US in October or November.
According to MS, HALO 2 WILL HAVE ONLINE CO-OP!

Online Coop was really one feature I was looking forward too...

This is why writing for a magazine or a newspaper makes being european a little less painful (points fingers at Ghost and Drexon and laughs

Maybe he's just referring to team DM.

I'm not referring to the poster. I'm referring to the quoted article. He mentions co-op with buddies. Co-op just means cooperation and people do cooperate in team DM. The following sentence just seems to strengthen that idea. He talks about clans... clans do team DM. Why would they utilize co-op for the main game for that?
I wouldn't take a random outside comment like that to heart when it can be read other ways... especially when Bungie has been saying no all this time.

That's the issue though. Bungie has not said no... they've really been hedging on this one. The rumor busting article talks about 4 player co-op not existing, and the OXM sidebar only mentioned coop is playable offline with 2 players, without discounting it would be online ... given how hard they have come down on the bots thing I imagine they would drop the hammer on online coop as well.

I remember them denying that... apparently I'm not the only one.
I'm reading this and I think a key word here is the "or". Co-op OR teams online. That can be a massive separation depending on how he said it.

My personal feeling on this is that they have been working on online coop but it hasn't been performing as well as they may have liked at this point in time... since they still have a (very) few weeks until the game is done maybe they are grinding on trying to get the performance up to a satisfactory level. Since they aren't hyping up the feature they can drop it if it becomes infeasible by the time final code comes around, possibly later adding it as downloadable content or something. But if they do get it cooking properly it will be in the game as it ships.
I can imagine the synching problems with coop online can be a bitch.
