Its funny how coop play works and how some new people have NO IDEA what they are doing.
SCREWED UP COOP GAMES
1) A bunch of medics on the team. For some reason they have decided healing people isn't their job. I've sat there dead (keeping them alive by the way) at their feet. Only after all enemies are killed do they try to heal or revive.
2) As a medic, I sit there depleting my entire health supply because some soldier or spec ops wants to be RAMBO. Then when I run out they die. Then I debate how to revive someone surrounded by 5 or 6 enemies.
3) As a soldier, I run out of ammo and shield power. A spec ops guy throws me a bone once in awhile. Basically, until things get really tough (as in unfairly tough) they don't want to use the shield provided by the soldier. They run right in front of my machine gun.
4) As a spec ops guy, I try to use the soldiers shield to keep safe and feed the guy ammo. For some unfathomable reason he doesn't feel the worry about anyone behind him and runs willy nilly around. He only stops when the gun is depleted. He gets me killed frequently by bolting around drawing fire (he has shields right) leaving me to absorb shots.
I really love the COOP gameplay but... man some people really aren't cut out for teamwork.
I've been in totally winnable situations which are completely lost due to 1-4 above every other game.

When's the official thread going to get made?
Yeah. I think I've only ever been on two matches that were wiped out. I do not hesitate to bolt into a safe corner when I see 6/8 are already dead, especially not as a medic. People have to learn that undue risks get you killed. A group that sticks together, advances slowly and fills all of their roles is essentially invincible, except maybe for the respawning waves going on at the two harmonic switches up in the sawmill.
Learn to pick your matches. When you see a room with five spec-ops, you can be certain they are all just there because they think that's the coolest class. When you see a room called "mics only", you know there'll just be a bunch of whiny bitches screaming for medics after getting mowed down over and over again.

To euro guys who want to import the CE:
I emailed videogamesplus.ca asking about the CE that they had up for pre-order but took down, and this is what they said:
So there. I'll be checking the site every day.
PS: other site suggestions accepted. play-asia/amazon don't ship it to europe.

You should try some 3 or 4 player games, or even a two player soldier/spec-ops game. It's pretty intense when your death can mean game over for the team in seconds, and mics are absolutely required, at least for the soldier / spec ops.bcn-ron said:

I have played coop about 5 times now, every time a majority of the people don't have headsets (me included) and only once have I been on a team where we aren't working together and that was because 2 spec ops didn't understand their role as a ammo feeder so there were no shields and thus everyone died.
TelemachusD said:
To be 100% honest, I think the ideal game is 3 players, one of each class. The difficulty is appropriate for the 3 people in general.
The other ideal is 1 player, just a medic. I've beaten a stage or two that way. It takes quite a while, but if you have a secondary weapon (carbine is best for its range) you can use it to speed up one or two of the bosses in the level...

That's what I usually create when I make a game, or sometimes four, to allow for one guy who doesn't know what's going on. If 3 player with mics interests anyone, feel free to add me, because that what I'll be mostly looking for when the game comes out. My PSN name is the same as my GAF name.

When does the beta end?
USA Today is giving out R2 beta codes like they did for LBP if anyone wants in for the last couple of days.

Hey SF bay area gaffers.
Highly recommend you come to the Metreon for the midnight event (swag, a good deal on the CE and more). If you're 21 or older and coming, you should definitely send me a PM with your first and last name.
More details on that to come.

How much did they have it listed for? With the current exchange rate I don't know if I could afford it :S
Looking over the new IGN screenshots, it looks like a portion of the game takes place near New Orleans out on the bayou! I always thought it was odd more game developers haven't used New Orleans or Southern Louisiana as a backdrop, its pretty rich in atmosphere/history and has unique architecture.

Good news! Well done.

And they made him a Lord of Cinder. Not for virtue, but for might. Such is a lord, I suppose. But here I ask. Do we have a sodding chance?
YES!!!!!FirewalkR said:To euro guys who want to import the CE:

The servers always seem to go down when I'm in the middle of a game. Of course, I'm almost always in the middle of a game.sk3tch said:
Has anyone ever been a soldier trying to revive someone with Triangle while behind your shield only to be not in exactly the right spot and so Triangle changed your weapon instead? Which lead to the shield being put away and you most likely dying on top of your comrade in a hail of bullets? It's happened to me a couple of times, and I've seen it happen more. The good news is revive is always mapped to Triangle so you can move weapon select to a different button, and the problem is gone.

I can tell you you'll save a decent chunk of change on the CE that you could then put towards the cab home.... ;-)
