Does anyone know if the co-op in Hells Highway will be muliple players through the story? Or will it be through mission like the ones found in Earned In Blood?

If it's not got CO-OP Campaign then it's not worth buying in my opinion.

The games which offer a couple of standalone CO-OP missions are not worth it really, it's almost like a token CO-OP gesture, as opposed to incorporating CO-OP into the core gameplay.

Thankfully more and more developers are getting it through their heads that a Next-Gen platform should mean Next-Gen functionality and gameplay.

I like playing games with my mates so there's no way that I'll pay for a game that forces me to play through the whole Campaign on my own.
What a lonely way to enjoy a game.
Just like movies are better enjoyed with friends, so are games in my opinion.

I'm sick of hearing about 'great teammate AI' when the best AI you can get is a human next to you - the ultimate in team work!

I completely agree. Looking back on the best memories I've had in gaming, they've all been while playing with a buddy. I saw an interview a while back of Randy Pitchford talking about Earned In Blood, he said that the Gearbox team kind of half assed on Road To Hill 30 as far as multiplayer went. He then continued to say that he thought co-op was an extremely important addition to any game, and that's why they were including it in Earned In Blood. Here's to him sticking with his own opinion and actually pushing the bar foward with co-op in Hells Highway!

That's encouraging then.

If the main man thinks it's an important feature then hopefully he'll be a man of his word and give the CO-OP community what they want.

The game's storyline sounds perfect for incorporating CO-OP into the Campaign so they've got no excuses for not implementing CO-OP properly.....other than laziness of course.

YES!!! CO-OP is basically a nessesary when it comes to games. ask anyone. would you rather have a really cool weapons or co-op story so you can play with your buddies. i can say that 90% of people will take co-op. so i can only wish that they are working co-op into the game properly. and when i say "properly" i mean. do exactly what "Gears of War" and "Halo 3" did. full online story with at LEAST one friend. PLEASE!!! co-op puts the replay value up to almost twice as much. cuz who wouldn't like doing the campaign again with your best friend at your side. after all this is BROTHERS in arms right? fight with your friends, your comrades, your brothers. come on now!!


And i have to agree with oldmrt, games are ment to be played with your friends. not some computer controlled bot running around not doing anything. if you want to up the difficulty, great, with 2 people anything is possible.

What if you don't have friends?

Just kidding.

all i gotta say is if they are delaying the game because they are putting co-op in the game. then it will be worth the wait. but if they are just dragging their rear ends then this is ******ed.

It isn't necessary but it would greatly be appreciated. I'm sure if the whole campaign isn't co-op, you will still buy the game.
