Re: Rumor: 1.3 Patch To Include Co-Op
Got news for all of you. You can play Co-Op RIGHT NOW!!! Here is how:
1. Find out what your external IP is.
2. If your using a firewall router make sure you allow port 16567 to be forwarded to your internal IP address.
3. If your using firewall software, make sure you allow BF2.exe to act as a server on port 16567.
4. Start up BF2 and launch single player (karkand is a good test map)
5. Wait for it to load completly and then join game.
Important: Do not tell others to join untill you have joined.
6. Other players can now join in by selecting multi-player and entering your IP address.
Using the Single Player Bot Changer, we have had 24 to 32 bots set at 100% skill (expert) and 8 to 10 humans join in on my PC and play co-op (8 humans+8 bots vs 16 bots)
Drawbacks:
1. Not Ranked
2. No unlocks
3. Only the 16 player sized maps available (unless everyone uses the SP64 mod)
4. Bots can be stupid as they always follow the pre-defined paths on the maps.
5. You need a pretty fast PC and internet connection. (Mine is a AMD Athlon 64 with 2gb and a 15mbs / 2mbs RoadRunner Cable connection, 3x faster than standard cable modem)
Advantages:
1. Bots set at 100% (expert) amost never miss and provide a good training opponent. (Bots in tank know exactly where to shoot your tank or apc for that rare 1 shot kill! Keeps you on your toes!)
2. Bot medics will try and revive you if your killed and give you ammo and med packs if asked.
3. Bot commanders will drop supplies, arty or a UAV EXACTLY where you want them.
4. Bots under your command follow orders!
5. EVen though the computer tries to autobalance it will move bots to the other team before humans and lets you join either side.
We have used this as a training tool and found it worked good!
Try it out, any questions can be e-mailed to me at korg@tampabay.rr.com

Re: Rumor: 1.3 Patch To Include Co-Op
i agree with what you say i run a dedicated server myself on lan,with difernt mods.Originally posted by Korg
but if you havnt got a router/hub then you can share the net for pc 2 this is where the problem lies.conect to ip only works if both pc are online.
1.3 coop will be adressing this hopfuly,and i like the sound of the custom options for the bots,and not to forget the 1.3 server manger should make setting up a dedicated server a breze.
i hope they allow all thge unlocks to be avalible in coop mode this would be fun.Comment

Re: Rumor: 1.3 Patch To Include Co-Op
Yes, PC's on the local LAN can use the multi-player "connect to ip" to connect to the internal IP of the PC that's running the single player game. Other PC's out in the internet can connect through the external IP of the router (at the same time too)Originally posted by blade.verzilli TF
What I have heard about the up-coming patch 1.3 is that there will be more options on the bot behavior besides just skill level. What those options are I don't know.

Re: Rumor: 1.3 Patch To Include Co-Op
I agree with Blade, who needs a story line. I mean you shoot at me I shoot back, isnt that a simplified version of how most games are? I really would like to see a death match mode where you get limited amount of respawns. Maybe a selectable amount from 9 to zero.
I also would like to see one of the map mods added to the game. Maybe run a contest and let the top 5 run on unranked servers with one vote cast for every server log on. The winning map gets added permantly to the game and oh yes prize money for the guys (or gals) who made it.
Just a couple of thoughts, Im not really expecting to see either one added to the game. Wish the next patch and Armored Fury would hurry up and get here. . . . . . .RedComment

Re: Rumor: 1.3 Patch To Include Co-Op
Senarios when playing BF2 is very good. If you are that sad to enjoy just clicking a mouse key at someone over and over again then that is ok, but as I have experienced in the BF2:RC senarios are cool, are RPing on BF2 works well when playing with people who are not absolute jerkoffs.
Just saying.

Why don't they introduce a deathmatch mode? Now that would be pretty fun for a change.Comment
