Coop idea

[Vth_F_Smith_]

Wouldn't it be nice if you'd to control the jet and your partner - directly sitting behind you - would control the weapon systems? http://forums.ubi.com/groupee_common/emoticons/icon_smile.gif

[Mr.Hanky2005]

That would be an extremely cool idea. They could also control radar and such http://forums.ubi.com/images/smilies/winky.gif

I'd love to see that in a bomber or chopper game. My favorite part of FoW is running the choppers as or with a gunner.

Speaking of which, sure would be nice if this game had some choppers in it. http://forums.ubi.com/groupee_common/emoticons/icon_wink.gif

Yeah, that would be cool, especially with a B1-B lancer.

Same here, especially when it comes to the RAH-66 Commanche aka MOHAWK - it's simply a blast hovering with folded weapons behind / over an object and then suddenly pop up, unfold the weapons and unleash hell on everything that moves! http://forums.ubi.com/groupee_common/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif

I would love that! I am so happy that they are including 4 player co-op and not just 2 "co-op missions"

Yeah that would kickass. Especially if they had an arena mode like singleplayer in OGF, only with friends joining you.

[Beccera]

+1 for copilots. And I'd say a voice command system similar to the one in EndWar. That really seems kickass!

Imagine you and you microphone... "Firehawk Two-Oh, cover my six" or "Jester, attack ground targets sector Alpha. I'm covering you". Or even better: "Firehawks (the whole squadron http://forums.ubi.com/groupee_common/emoticons/icon_razz.gif), attack on your own" http://forums.ubi.com/groupee_common/emoticons/icon_smile.gif

That would be cool, unless of course your pilot buddy really sucked at flying or did a lot of stupid things and got you both killed all the time.

"Flying strate up an stalling you're jet fightar is the ubermost greatest excape plans to get away from missals an rockats an an enemys!"

Your idea is good, but wouldn't it be better if you could play co-op as a wingman? That way, if your partner really does suck, at least you'll have the advantage of laughing as he dies while you fly your own jet safely a hundred feet away.

I don't think choppers would stand a chance against jets.

I would like to see a AC-130H Spectre with Coop mode up to 4 Player (1 Pilot, 3 Gunners) http://forums.ubi.com/images/smilies/11.gif

Great idea...but I would prefer it if you had this idea in an old-school Biplane. Pilot at the front and your partner manning the guns at the back!

"Bandits at 3 O'clock!"
"Roger!"

What would the pilot and partner actually do if they shared a Jet together? Would the second player be a bit bored checking radars, maps etc?

Or how about that:

One is managing the radar / maps / satellite imaging onboard an AWACS while the rest of the players are in their Jet's. http://forums.ubi.com/groupee_common/emoticons/icon_smile.gif That would actually be comparable to a gameplay experience like the General's tactical map in EndWar and perfectly fit into the "integrated Warfighter system" experience. http://forums.ubi.com/groupee_common/emoticons/icon_smile.gif

If you were in a B1-B Lancer, (which can carry the same airtoair loadout as an F-15) you could have the pilot flying in low, dodging Sams and AAA, and the 2nd guy trying to lock onto ground targets, (said SAMs and triple A) all the while having other friends covering the sky and ready to move in once SAMs are finished.

We always wished we had a working AWACs in OverG, instead they were just decoration, no need to protect them from other human players... now if someone could take control of it....wow

That's what I got to thinking after I said that. They're both good ideas, why not use both then?

There could be up to 4 players in co-op, having the options of 4 wingmen flying solo jets, 2 wingmen with 2 pilots in each jet, or 3 jets with 1 having 2 pilots.

That way, it's left entirely up to the players whether or not they want to watch each others' backs or fly their own jets, or both.

A jet with two pilots could have a higher guaranteed survivability rate due to your buddy watching your back the whole time, and wingmen would have lower survivability but more network maneuverability and the ability to group together to take down foes or have one play decoy while the other picks off the pursuers. ^.^

[ghostrider84]

well ,

there should be coop mode for 4 player just like in USAF ... if they place 2 coop mode option dat would be kickass !

1 thing more ... if the control of da aircraft is just like BATTLEFIELD 2 ... it will SUCKS :S http://forums.ubi.com/images/smilies/16x16_smiley-mad.gif

[sturm0vik]

I think its a good idea, and the second player (or first if he wants to) should get the option to backseat the pilot, if the pilot chooses a 2 seat plane, lake an F-14.
