Guest Jedi Master Xai-Qui Posted June 17, 2000 Share Posted June 17, 2000 A While ago there were rumours of a co-operative mode in Ob1. They were on this board. Were they all lies or will I be able to enjoy swinging my saber to cut peoples arms off with a friend by my side? ------------------ The truth?

Guest Saesee Tom Posted June 18, 2000 Share Posted June 18, 2000 Some of the screenshots I saw look like they might be co-op. I don't know. It would be great though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Darth_Simpson Posted June 19, 2000 Share Posted June 19, 2000 Nothing has been confirmed yet, but I don`t think it will be included. LEC has revealed a lot of the muliplayer modes, but said nothing about Co-op! Those screenshots you saw was most likely Qui-Gon as your AI buddy, not another human player!

Guest Darth Pie Posted June 19, 2000 Share Posted June 19, 2000 Hey I heard from IGN.com that there will be a multiplayer scenario that would be kinda like co-op. It said that you and some friends will have to escort the queen to safety and keep her from being killed by another group of players. It may not be technically co-op but that does sound kinda cool. ------------------ " If you only knew the POWER of pie! " Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Neumi Posted June 19, 2000 Share Posted June 19, 2000 Yeah, sounds cool, but I want to play the storyline with a friend. i haven't seen real coop modes since DN3D. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Kurgan Posted June 19, 2000 Share Posted June 19, 2000 Well technically, team-play is coop. When you say COOP you basically just mean single player, but with another person at your side, killing enemies together in the level. Kurgan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wilhuf Posted June 19, 2000 Share Posted June 19, 2000 In games that have actually implemented this feature, coop (cooperative) play refers to multiplayer completion of the single player campaign (e.g., Quake2, System Shock 2, Unreal, and Daikatana (hey stop laughing)). While teamplay is cooperative (hopefully), teamplay usually refers to human v. human or bot teams in deathmatch, CTF, or some gametype other than the 'single player campaign.' I wouldn't refer to team play humans versus a bot team as 'coop play,' despite the requirement for cooperation. Of course in cooperative play you should be playing as a team to complete the campaign as well. I'm not opitimistic that Ob1 will ship with coop play. It hasn't been mentioned yet as a gameplay type. The client-server network architecture for Ob1 is likely better suited for coop play than the JK/MotS peer-to-peer model... Who knows maybe there will be a surprise... doubtful however.

Guest Kurgan Posted June 21, 2000 Share Posted June 21, 2000 I don't recall Unreal having coop... It did have bots though. Kurgan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wilhuf Posted June 22, 2000 Share Posted June 22, 2000 Yes Unreal shipped with coop play. A lot of fun actually. Nowadays, I play Unreal Coop through Unreal Tournament. UT supports all Unreal maps. Basically this swaps out all of the original weapons with the (better IMO) UT weapons. System Shock 2 was patched for coop play, as was Quake2.

Guest Kurgan Posted June 22, 2000 Share Posted June 22, 2000 Huh, amazing, I knew Quake2 had it, and I've never played System Shock/2, but I played Unreal extensively, and had no idea it had coop! So (I'm not talking about using UT, I knew you could play Coop using that), in Unreal, you can play two player in the single player missions and help each other out? wow! Maybe I should reinstall it and try that.. Kurgan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wilhuf Posted June 22, 2000 Share Posted June 22, 2000 It's certainly worth reinstalling and giving it a shot. Of course be sure to run with latest patch 2.25x (network code is so much better). Yessiree, multiplayer completion of the Unreal single player campaign. Many hours of online fun. For those who do want to try Unreal1 coop in UT, there is a mutator for UT that is supposed to simplify the setup configuration for Unreal 1 coop play in UT. (I havent actually tested this mutator, and did the configuration manually, so I can't comment on quality). Mutator info at http://www.planetunreal.com/modcentral/index.asp?page=readme&part=UTCoop Personally I prefer Unreal Coop in UT. Weapon handling is much better IMO. But Unreal1 coop is good as well.

Guest Jedi Master Xai-Qui Posted June 24, 2000 Share Posted June 24, 2000 By coop I mean playing the single player missions with a friend. (Sorry I have been away for 4 days and so have not been able to reply) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Dave Maul Posted June 25, 2000 Share Posted June 25, 2000 In my opinion, co-op worked nicely with Jedi Power Battles, and I think it could be a worthy addition to Obi-Wan. ------------------ Dave Maul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Kurgan Posted June 25, 2000 Share Posted June 25, 2000 I'm amazed I missed that.. I'll have to try out Unreal coop sometime. ; ) Kurgan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
