Halo 3 campaign to feature 4 player coop over LIVE!

Maxconsole.net is reporting on a piece of Halo 3 news that has leaked regarding the single player campaign.  It appears that Bungie is planning on adding 4 player coop to the campaign.

You are probably wondering how this news got out right?:

So what’s the big news? Well, scrolling through the list of onscreen text for party menus one sentence in particular stands out:
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…

That’s right, 4 player Co-operative play will be included in in Halo 3. Available both online over Xbox Live and also locally via System link. We begged for it’s inclusion, we got it.

Bungie look all set to live up to their promises delivering all they can with this final entry in the Halo trilogy. This is gonna be sweet.

I have to admit, this is great news but I am a little concerned because I can barely force myself to put the controller down while playing the beta, I can't imagine the demons I will have to face when I get my hands on the final version.
