Nice. Seemless join-in co-op with four different 4 player co-op modes.

Anyone else picking this up for the long weekend. Will be looking forward to some coop action over the weekend maybe.

tempted but then just realised no mp

[GiantDave7]

Yeah there is. It's listed as stand alone fire team engagements on the website just like Dragon Rising. (or am I confused and you arent referring to mp as multiplayer)

Feel a little burnt from the last one. Devs sort of dropped it like a hot potato with a lot of things either broken or partially working. May wait for a year when it's at a bargain price and re-evaluate. Not in a hurry to get this one.

Bugger your right. No competitive mp. Hope the drop it in later.

Doubtful. Competitive MP was very poor in Flashpoint - probably dropped because they just want to pump out another title. Co-op was ok, but unless it now allows others to download missions from the host, it'll just be frustrating.

Had a lot of fun in the co-op but the logistics of getting a game started with only 2 additional players was painful.

I agree. I'm a big fan of co-op but with Dragon Rising the lack of Host controls ruined it for me. I'll wait a while and check the feedback.

I am worried ... I was pump when I bought OFDR then spent hours looking for a game and people that really focused on team work, only to have no luck with anything local.

I sit on the fence and see how well its going in another few weeks.
