Re: New World at War Co-Op Trailer Released

Developers of games do know that players want coop support for certain games but they don't make it because it takes too much time and effort. That's probably why there wasn't coop for CoD4.
Also, Call of Duty 4 never came for the Wii.

Thats too bad about the CoOp thing. Since there is a single player campaign, I would think it wouldnt be that hard to allow the AI in a multiplay environment. Battlefield had Single player co op, on the exact same maps in multiplayer, so I never understood that either. Of course, I dont make games so I have no clue.

As for the Wii, Im glad you said something because I would have put money on me seeing it in Gamestop with the zapper. Of course, I have been seeing things lately

But that, imo, isn't true co-op what BF does. It simple takes mp and then places bots in with/against people. The traditional co-op, or what I think most people believe, is the sp campaign, but you get to play through it with your buddies. Slight differences, I know, but that slight difference is a big difference when it comes to some of the coding. Making the entire sp campaign work with more than one human character is different than mp which is already planned for multiple human characters.

Plus the BF series never really had great AI. That's why Coop/Singleplayer in BF2 is non existent... The BF series will always be a multiplayer experience, save for Bad Company.

Re: New World at War Co-Op Trailer Released

You both are correct. What I was meaning by my posts is that developers say its "too hard" yet they have it in single player. I mean, so what if its not playing against HAL? The idea is to have something to do waiting for servers to fill up. Look at the CS:S bots. They suck, but are pretty fun to beat up.

So, yes, BF did not have coop, except 1942, they dropped it. I think Vietnam may have had it, but I dont recall. Yet, BF2 and 2142 both have single player bots. So set those bots to HARD and allow them to be in multiplayer.

Anyway, I digress and AI is never great. Never has been, never will be and everyone will complain no matter what. It IS in the games, just not implemented.

Re: New World at War Co-Op Trailer Released

Anyone know how this Co-OP works? Is this something on a server? Is it on your PC that people join?

This was posted today on an IGN blog: http://blogs.ign.com/Actvsn_CallOfDuty/

Finding a Co-Op game will work as you'd expect. On the 360 and PS3, you'll be able to create private Co-Op games, or find public Co-Op games with anyone else around the world.

For PC players, we created Co-Op game lobbies, so when you join a Co-Op server in-game – instead of immediately connecting to a server – you join that server's lobby. The host will then choose the settings, and start the game.

Huh, co-op lobbies. Thats a bit different. It makes sense though. Kinda like how consoles have their "togetherness".

Thanks Whiskey

EDIT: I just read the entire article. I cant believe the thought they put into the CoOp stuff. Heck, playing Co-Op may be better than the rest of the game, LOL. OK, probably not, but still.

Game Trailers has "exclusive" videos of Co-Op play from the xbox console (I think).

The Raid one shows a lot more. Also, I like to thank {ESC}Trippin who found these
