What sort of MP CO-OP game is it?

[the_moog]

I've read a bunch of reviews but they didn't really cover the CO-OP side except to say "it's buggy" and "Players work together to accomplish assigned tasks", which doesn't tell me much.

So... as you guys have played CO-OP, what exactly does it entail and am I going to need to play online with 10/20/30 other people to enjoy co-op games or can a small 5/6 player lan get anything out of it?

Multiplayer co-op is such a rare find but I don't want to invest in a lemon :)

MTIA!

dont worry about co-op that much u really want to get into multiplayer maps which where the fun really is...
although you do need at least 20 to start having fun the maps are huge

@ i21 im hoping at least 50 will have it installed for some serious lannage :)

It's an easy co-op game. Unlimited respawns (or so it appears), enemies are pretty static and don't take sensible fighting positions, only real challenge is to come top of the scoreboard.

If you're looking for opflash's son, it ain't here.

i thought it was 150 max...

this game has only just come out so i think a 25vs25 would be easy, anything more might be a bit of a struggle like 50vs50 gaming...

if you change the connection rate up to 44M/s (i.e. LAN play) it increases to 250 when i looked. i hate to think what it would do to server and clients though. smaller games with commanders and organised squads would probably be better fun though

Now ordered from www.sendit.com (used to be Blackstar) as Play didn't have it in stock and it was the same price (£17.99) :)
