From what I've read and been told, Halo was a hit. My friends and I typically only play multiplayer cooperative games on Xbox Live. Imagine as we eagerly waited for Halo 2 to come out. Half of us ran out and bought it only to discover that Live+Coop was not a feature.

Such a basic game-design premise when you tailor a game from scratch for online play is to offer such a basic feature. I wonder if Microsoft will garner this concept or will it be 2010 before it happens.
