Is this game finally a co-op?

[Nightbringer]

First wasn't. Second also had very limited co-op functionality. Does this one can be finally be played in co-op?

[Stripey]

Wasn't the second game entirely co-op capable?

[Halo]

No idea, but OMD is single player, if you want to play coop that is fine but I don't.

Ever.

I think UC showed us that alternate reality.

[Sovereign246]

uh, OMD 2 was full co-op. Hell the maps were even designed with two people in mind.

[Nightbringer]

Second game was only for 2 players, so it was just limited co-op. To hell with you if you had an audacity to have more than one friend.

What is this nonsence? Way too pushy for no reason.

[Nightbringer]

Why you got triggered by a simple question?

[Goro3D]

I wonder how many players can do coop in this game? I see 3 character but that's just a video and doesn't provide an answer to the question of how many can do coop 2?,3?,4?/ If it has 3-4 that would for sure be a step up from 2 for sure. The price seems pretty good.

So your real question isn't whether the game is co-op but whether it supports more than two players. The answer to the question you asked is yes, it has full co-op functionality. The answer to the question you intended to ask, whether it allows for more than two players, is no.

[Nightbringer]

Well, thank you for answering that question.

However, for me personally, you can't call a game co-op if it does not feature ability to play with your friends. Imagine scenario where we search for games to play, it is marketed as co-op, we purchase said game only to discover that we can't play this game as co-op. It happens way too often to me and my friends as we try to find games which we could play together. This is why a lot of games do put forwards a mention that they do not offer full co-op experience, but a limited one whatever it would be 2 or 3 player co-op game.

But to be fair, I'm too hard on this game. Most games in the market do not have the slightest clue of what co-op is and it is a chore to get through all the false advertisement. It is common place to see a nonsense like this "Multiplayer shooter is a co-op game", "Ability to play RTS on a same team vs bots is a co-op experience".

Only OMD 1 was singleplayer only OMD2, OMDU(was) and OMD3 is COOP.

[Kozzy]

What? 2nd Orcs had limited coop? Are you kidding? I did campaign coop and wonderful Endless mode, was a blast with a friend

[Arteezy<3]

I think he means if you can search a lobby or is it again just make a lobby and invite a friend

[Sighman]

OMD 2 was designed for coop from the ground up. Hell, most of the maps were next to impossible solo, given there were many entry and exit points to cover.

But it was also playable solo, which was some clever design work.

From the F.A.Q from the Website

Is there a Cooperative mode? How many players can play together?
There is two player cooperative. We currently have no plans to extend this past two players.

Same here. There are similar games around focusing on MP (and thus unbalanced/boring/unplayable solo) but what makes OMD unique is rich and well balanced solo experience, especially in OMD1. I am happy for the players interested in coop that they can enjoy the game that way too in OMD2 and OMD3 - just as long as including coop in OMD3 does not harm solo experience by having the levels designed too much with 2 players in mind. Myself, I am not interested in coop at all.
