Dont know if Ravensoft Developer people read these forums (only been here a minutes now :P) but i'll post anyway.

I have complete confidence in you making Quake 4, i've loved your past games, but i do not want you to make the one error that certain John Carmack has made with Doom 3. Please make sure you put in cooperative play for the single player missions! When i found out doom3 wouldn't have any form of coop play it was like being punched in the gut. I haven't played a good coop game for years now. Playing Doom with 4 mates running through (yes i'm aware not a raven game but its an example), heretic 2 with a couple of mates (great fun). For one reason or another developers keep leaving it out, personally i'd make the single player missions (or more correctly story driven missions) with multiple players in mind but what do i know. But please allow the option.


If Ravensoft has already announced that they're putting in coop just reply now, otherwise please make as much noise as possible if you want this. I know i do .


Hmmm i see theres a wishlist but i'll leave this here for now , i live in hope for an official reply.

I agree, nuff said.

Thats what I like in Games, Co-Op, the Delta Force games had it and it rawked, but was missing from their newer games which I thought let them down.

Q4 Co-Op, i'll buy that one.

coop would be awesome.  it's a shame more games don't have coop now that gaming is bigger than it ever has been in history.

Yeah, I just hope that if there is Coop that you can make it hard enough to really encourage teamwork and maybe have some coop only puzzles implemented somehow, for example the players have to split up to push two different switches at the same time or one player covers the other one as they hack a door, rescue prisoners, etc.

yea i agree...i love playing coop in quake 1. back when i didnt use a mouse..and it was hard to turn cuz the keyboard turn was slow...it was nice to have someone to cover my back =). heh. well anyways...co-op! a must.. as well as rocket jumping, plasma climbing etc. we dont need any extra trickjumping like air jumps etc....those suck. just normal stuff like in q3. there were no special things... just cool stretchable physics.

Co-op is an awesome multiplayer gamemode.

Considering the limitations that are rumoured about D3 / Q4's player count for MP, co-op would be a really smart way of maximizing the MP fun for small numbers of active players.

Four players on a dark and moody map... creepy and engaging.

yay for coop. I expect we will see coop mods for doom but I want coop strait out of the box inQ4

Playing singler player missions with friends would be fun - for awhile. But if you mean just playing against AI in a normal MP style, well, bots are generally horrible AI. It'd be no different than playing bots in Q3 CTF - boring.

What do you mean by 'coop'? Do you mean actual SP missions played with many people? Otherwise I don't see the point.

coop is missions in the single player style. (objectives, enemies that act like they do in sp as opposed to mp bots) played by multiple people over the web or a lan. (Examples are in halo on xbox, R6 series, ghost recon, and a bunch of other games whose names elude me now) It is really fun and tends to be much more immersive than mp.
