[NobleHunter]

Sorry if somebodies already posted this but is the co-op still gona be in the game.I mean theres always Marcus and Dom so why not?And if so is it online?

[Darth Leto]

as far as i have heard it is still gunna have co-op online co-op to

[seph]

There is going to be Co-op in Gears of War. Online too, yes.

[cUnNiNg_StUnTs]

Not only is it going to be in the game CliffyB has said more than once that "It's all about that sofa experience", and that the focus is on co-op play.

I'm pretty sure split screen and on-line both CO-OPs are confirmed, as well as multi player.

And yea there's been about 15 threads about CO-OP.

[elite94]

you mean 15,000 threads about co-op,

[Uday23]

yep co-op live and offline..........

[LilTwan24]

yea i think there gonna do it cuz there doin it to all the next gen games.So it would be a shame to leave it out of gears cuz if they got it me n my boys thats the first thing we doin then we goin to live n play.

[Cover is a friend]

Epic has thought of everything.

[Death Dream]

yep co-op live and offline..........

Sweeeeeeeeeeet!

~Death Dream~

[LilTwan24]

yea its the same on n off

[Chainsaw Guardian]

There will be both offline and online Co-Op. It will be 2 players.

The neat thing is that if you are playing single player and you are stuck on a certain part, your buddy can sign in and start playing right where you left off by yourself. He can also sign off and the computer will take over.

Pretty sweet.

thats one of the many great things about this game!

But if your buddy online signs off will you get a notice? And what if you you dont want someone to join you but just be able to talk online while your playing.

[Uday23]

well he will be playing right next to u as Dom so if he signe off u will probably figure it out soon but i bet the game will give u a notice if he quits playin Co-op, about ur other question, u can send ppl private chat invites and u can talk to them no matter what game u or they are playing, i talk to my friends on BF2 all the time and we are sometimes in completely different levels, or sometimes they are even playing a different game, and btw i think getting into a co-op game with ur buddy will be an invite thing only, or else ppl will just jump in with u any time they please(join in progress), so i think u Have to invite ur friend to play co-op

[elite94]

i was wondering when your playing SP splitscreen with some1 over XBL or some1 on the same console, if they get in the down or out mode do you have to go revive them or will they not go into a down but no out mode and just straight die. I like the idea if, say i was playing CO-OP online with Zoso Fan for example, and i went into the down but not out mode i'd start yelling, " Zoso, I'm dying, come help me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" lol, i hope i get to play CO-OP online with you Zoso!
P.S: Zoso, are you gonna get another mic before Gears comes out, because it would suck not being able to talk to you while playing, plus you pretty much need a mic if you want to play gears on MP to yell cuss words at the annoying kids!

lol, ya im pretty sure that u can revive eachother, i saw cliffy revivew AI Dom, so i bet u can revive in co-op too

[MacheteMan7]

I think that is a part that will make co-op much more fun because you won't die instantly and it will be more intense knowing that you have like 20 seconds to revive your teammate.

yeah, not sure if the time limit(i say that b/c we are not sure if its 15-30 seconds long, but 20 is good) will be in SP, but it probably will, i wonder if there will be a countdown thing on ur screen when u go into DBNO mode(SP and MP), and will there be one on ur partners screen too(SP only), o well they can just scream for help, and i bet the point of interest thing will pop up when someone goes into DBNO mode(SP), that reminds me, will the point of interest thing be apart of MP? idk, btw do u think when a locust sees u in SP and notices that u are DBNO they will rush u and try to finish u, maybe even curbstomp u(not sure if they can do that in SP, not even sure if We the players can do that in SP).........

That would be awesome if it said for example Uday killed elite or something and you held y if it looked in that direction. It would kinda be like a kill cam but for other people to see as well.

yeah!, i was gonna say it would only work in close range, but i thought that it could be like BF2 MC where when u die, the camera point in the direction of the killer, so maybe if ur teammate gets killed and u press "Y" u get pointed in that direction, which could help alot since GoW has no radar system,

but i dont think it will happen..............

[Cover is a friend]

I think the point of intrest thing on a dead teammate would be awesome, theres nothing more intresting happenening anyway.

it will, i was watching the 1st lvl (can't remember which video) and when Dom was in DBNO mode on his hands and knees, Marcus was kinda close to him but wasn't looking at him so he didn't notice Dom in DBNO mode but since he was close the "Y, Point of interest" option poped up at the bottom of the screen and wen cliffy held it, the camera looked over at dom and it show'd him on the ground. so i answered sumthing......

yeah i remeber that now, then he went and picked dom up(revived), i forgot about that.......wonder if it does that in MP....

[elite94]

i hope, it wuld add even more tatic to the ****-loaded tatical game,

[Crazy Danix]

It was my understanding that there will be co-op in all aspects of the game, this is strategy, tactic, and team driven.

[Xecuter83]

There is an interview out there with cliffy B saying that there is going to be co-op online!

[rEDChief55]

to any new members or guest readers reading this, co-op will be in the game, it will be onlin, and it will be 2 ppl

[yoyo209]

Only 2? They should've made it like 4 atleast huh?

[rEDChief55]

Only 2? They should've made it like 4 atleast huh?

4 would be good, but in the campaign, you dont always have 4 people playing, it could just be you and Dom, ane Epic doesnt want to make a different campaign for co-op they want it to be where a friend can jump in any time while your playing the single player campaign (if you invite them of course )

[yoyo209]

True, perhaps they could've done something where if you have more people they add more locust and they them a bit tougher so that 4 people would have a greater challange and that would even it out.

[rEDChief55]

but there isnt always 4 ppl playing, sometimes its just you and DOm

[yoyo209]

Thats why I said if there are more people that you're playing with than add much more locust.

[thephantom13]

I know we've established that there is co-op via XBL and split screen, but is there also gonna be co-op via system link? Cuz that would be sweet, being able to each have your own tv full screen but still be in the same room kicking locusts ass!

[yoyo209]

There probably will be. I've only played system link a couple times.

[HELLFIRE V1]

Dont see why not as this will kick ass but as far as MOST people know it is just online and split screen.

[rEDChief55]

ok so u play co-op with 4 ppl but what if the next mission only has 2 COG fighting, what are they gonna do, boot two people?

[Gameplay]

I think this debate is a common problem amoung developers, and though I believe this game will only support 2ppl co-op, the possibilities for more is available as the developers become more familiar with next gen tech. Games like Gauntlet ps2 support 4player co-op why not gears.

[KhaoZ/Se7n]

I think adding more locusts to counter more people with you would kill the storyline of the game. Remember that the story has a lot to do with finding these new team members and hooking up with them, etc. If you started with them, then wth? lol.

[Gameplay]

well there so many opportunities to take advantage of that. Standard coop is for 2players, as you progress through the game and reach levels or when you secure a new member to the team he becomes available to choose as a player by the 1st or 2nd player or if the stage allows more than two squad members a third or forth player can plunge and play....my bad this is 360 we go wireless in next gen, but you get the picture.

[SmugDarkLoser]

i think they said 2 player co-op for sure and possibly 4 player.
