Halo 3 Co-Op Guesstimate

In the Halo 3 video for E3 here, I saw Arbiter fighting right beside MC in a lot of scenes, Does that mean a real co-op? By real co-op i meant two different characters, not just two Master Chiefs running around, you are this MC and I'm that MC, its fun but not "true" because in theory there is just one MC, so having Arbiter the co-op guy, and the whole game built around the concept that Arbiter will be controlled by a real player or the AI, makes it real co-op.

Marcus and Dom!

Remember co-op has always been an integral part of Halo since Halo 1 and if Halo 3 doesn't have online co-op, i think the game would be seriously lacking.
Anycase, here is the list of scenes with Arbiter:

1. MC and Arbiter running out with chainguns(detachable turrets), we see from behind, arbiter on right of MC, both firing at a common target.
2. MC and Arbiter coming out of a structure with chainguns, we see from front, Arbiter on left of MC.
3. Both standing infront of what looks like a scarab, they look behind up in the sky as two fighter jets fly by.
4. The man cannon sniper shot fingers look longer to me, might be arbiter.
5. Cortana scene, Arbiter standing right of MC, right next to Guilty Spark.
6. Arbiter and MC standing at an edge of rock/mountain looking at something, Arbiter makes like a war cry expression, MC looks at him.
7. MC shooting with pistol scene, we see from front, arbiter is behind the pistol to the right of MC, we just see the legs mostly.
8. MC holding gun to Arbiters neck, looks like a cut scene.
9. MC shooting rockets at a scarab, while arbiter is fighting on it, he jumps off the scarab just before the scarab exploded.

There might be more, i just don't have good video enhancing tools to check some of the dark segments.
