Apocalypse 31 Posted November 10, 2014 Share Posted November 10, 2014 Will we see COOP mp with CM:BS? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlackAlpha Posted November 10, 2014 Share Posted November 10, 2014 I'm also wondering about this. It would make a bunch of people I know interested in the game and personally I love everything coop. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Apocalypse 31 Posted November 10, 2014 Author Share Posted November 10, 2014 I'm also wondering about this. It would make a bunch of people I know interested in the game and personally I love everything coop. Matrix/Slitherine has started to add mp coop to their games. Tons of fun. Who doesn't enjoy playing with friends? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
purpheart23 Posted November 10, 2014 Share Posted November 10, 2014 doesn't appear to be happening anytime soon. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
db_zero Posted November 10, 2014 Share Posted November 10, 2014 Probably too much for a small company like BF to take on at this time. I like the wego system as I can review the action and play at my leisure. I can see the appeal of COOP, but its not for everyone. I have 14+ games going on at one time with all the modules and I wouldn't be able to handle it real time. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vanir Ausf B Posted November 10, 2014 Share Posted November 10, 2014 Last we heard from BFC on this they were not planing on doing it ever, unless they get a military contract that requires it and will pay for it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stagler Posted November 10, 2014 Share Posted November 10, 2014 Coop play would be good. Two companies with two player commanders. Would really help to introduce some of my mates to the game easily. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vinnart Posted November 10, 2014 Share Posted November 10, 2014 This is an idea I am passionate about as I think it is how the game would shine the most when played real time mode. I can also think of no other feature that would expand CM's market as much as coop multiplayer. I say this confidently from my experience with "Sudden Strike" game which sold over 2 million copies. There is not a SS player that would not gravitate to this, and I could also see players that are into games like ARMA that has a very team orientated multiplayer community wanting to play it too. It is not going to happen tomorrow, but I hope it does someday. Here is a CoOp multiplayer concept I put together that concentrates on teamwork in the real time environment. Each player gets a chance to role play as either a platoon, company, or battalion commander. It is based on 6v6 play, but the more players/observers (Yes, that is right you can just watch a battle live in real time if you don't want to actively play.) it could allow the better. http://www.battlefront.com/community/showthread.php?t=109832&highlight=multiplayer 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
poesel Posted November 10, 2014 Share Posted November 10, 2014 I can see the appeal of COOP, but its not for everyone. I have 14+ games going on at one time with all the modules and I wouldn't be able to handle it real time. Coop is not limited to real time. IMHO it would be easier to first implement Wego Coop because you leave out the hassle with synchronizing several players on the battle field. I guess CM wasn't designed with 'multiple friendlies on one side' in mind and such a thing would break a lot of basic assumptions. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SgtHatred Posted November 10, 2014 Share Posted November 10, 2014 Wasn't cooperative multiplayer listed as a future feature in the CMSF manual? Here we go. Something tells me that if they had the technical capability, it would already be in the game, since it was listed as a feature for future modules of the very first cmx2 game. Too bad, 2v2 multiplayer would be a lot of fun. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muzzleflash1990 Posted November 10, 2014 Share Posted November 10, 2014 I hope coop will be there some day. Some friends have expressed interest in CM, however, we almost exclusively play cooperatively with each other. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Boss Posted November 10, 2014 Share Posted November 10, 2014 I'd love to see a COOP mp function even if I think a potential AI side would face a real challenge. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Migo441 Posted November 10, 2014 Share Posted November 10, 2014 I think multiplayer co-op would be an amazing feature. I'm not sure why BF has stepped back from this after expressing interest in the past. It seems like co-op for human players could be achieved with just a couple changes: 1. Force a friendly unit to be selected at all times so that information on friendly units and spotting info is transmitted exclusively via C3 net. 2. Some mechanism to divide OOB into different commands with password protection for each. Now queue the laughter from the dev or anyone who fully knows what would be required. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
db_zero Posted November 10, 2014 Share Posted November 10, 2014 A WEGO co-op would be a lot of fun. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On that note i've still bought every title and module and upgrade and vehicle pack that's come out for all their titles now. So obviously my feelings weren't too hurt. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apocalypse 31 Posted November 11, 2014 Author Share Posted November 11, 2014 Great core feature for Engine 4! Not holding my breath, but I'm looking forward to the day we get an engine that was developer post-1990s 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
