Friday Games: Halo 4 Couch Co-op
This Friday, we’ll try the new combo co-op mode of Halo 4, which allows four players to play through the campaign on two screens and two Xbox 360s. When the Quick Time Events (also new to the series) come up, we’ll take it a step further and put two players on one controller! Can our thumbs handle it? Will our stream choke? We’ll see!
In addition, Visiting Associate Professor Mikael Jakobsson will also give a short talk about couch play in videogames. Please join us at 26-153 or watch our live stream this Friday at 4pm!
