well raven explained this tons of times....

The Q3 engine mp can't hold as many textures as SP maknig a co-op mode very very hard to make. Anyone remember the co-op mod team? they had to give up because of that.. they even had raven helping them, chances are this is gonna be very unlikely.

Serious Sam could do 2 player coop (4 player was pushing it framerate wise) with TONS of enemies on the screen at once.

 

Of course I'm not sure the Q3 engine could handle it as well, so maybe not... the developers would know better than any of us.

Coop doesnt need to put enemies into the same level per player. Delta Force LandWarrior simply made them thougher and harder... and i can say.. it was harder to pass the missions in Coop than it was in SP. I liked it alot.

 

Think of those elite nazi females on RTCW... man that AI kicked serious but...some of the best i've seen. It has nothing to do with the lame Lightning spamming bots on JO for MP. In RTCW they were hardly human opponents but definetly better than most bots i've seen in games. It woudl be cool to actually fight in SP with one or two friends with bots that really took cover...

 

But where doesn coop really make a big diference over standard SP? For me... take Delta Force BlackHawk Down for instance... I liked the fact that a bit like MOHAA we add a squad... but it's still a bit of one man army since my team fires and fires and fires but it's mostly the player that gets the job done.. damn.. if i was to rely on my squad to get things done i'd be still in the first level or so. Of course that the whole point of a SP... to make the player finish it and not the bots... but one can only get away from that with harder enemies and with a real squad to back you up making the player not the one man army but dependant on the team in order to survive... that's the goal for a good Coop gam mode.

 

Cheers.

ive always thought leading a bunch of bots a poor excuse for co-op.

 

i agree, jk3 should have co-op, at least if raven wants me to buy it. doesnt have to be the sp campaign, mp mode is fine, but there should be co-op.

 

i think devs find co-op a can of worms in general, maybe the way around that is to keep the sp as sp, but put lots of attention into co-op mp.

Even something along the lines of the recently introduced Invasion mode in UT2K3 would be welcome in MP, in my book. Although there are much better ideas kicking around for co-op modes of play. I doubt we'll see it this time around, but we can hope for next time...
