We need this! Make it happen guys!!!!
(I see the dev's putting out a DLC... i'd pay just to add 1 more friend)

Why tho?

[MasterBlaster]

To have numbers more akin to a true squad, & more help on intense & extreme (hardcore incoming) difficulty settings. Besides, more players = more fun.

[V0lcanF1re]

yes yes yes, the game is good already, is just can be better!

The synergies and balance work was aimed at three. I wonder what happens with 4? The corridors are a bit tight too.

You don't speak for me. I'm happy with three-man squads.

The game is called Aliens Fireteam, A colonial marine fireteam is 4.......

And they're usually deployed with a second fireteam as backup and for tactical flexibility (flanking, ambush etc.).^^

On the other hand they may have adopted a different doctrine after both fireteams at Hadley's Hope were basically wasted with no gain.

There's a "cheat" - or used to be - that allows a 4th player in. Watched it on YT months back. Not sure if it's still possible, but it hardly sabotaged the game play from what I saw.

yeah in deep rock there a bug that could play with 5 dwarfs and not 4
6 never seen someone but still +1 player to a run is so cool stuff to have.
they had it when 2 players joining at the same mission by the same time, somehow the game carried both in to the same mission when already 3 other dwarfs fighting.
I liked in this game that we found the other fireteam deep in they was (3) too xD was funny, why not (4)..... real life fireteam have more than 4 no?

Why 3 or 4 how about 6? 2 squads of 3.. start on different areas of a mission.. link up. I mean it's bad enough with 3 on extreme friendly fire especially with randoms!!! people always strafe and fire or just get in the damn way all the time. Like characters levels 600 and below don't know how to play!!! Sometimes if they fire at me i let them get tore up by a xeno that pounces on them like haha keep going.

So you can run around with 3 other synthetic bots.. and still die cause they just stand there? No one is online..

This would require a lot of work, including map modifications. You can barely fit 3 people in those small corridors. Also it would get to easy with 4, the fix would be even more HP to aliens, it would feel like shooting a wall.

[Oddball]

The arguments that the game is balanced towards three fall flat when you consider that there was a bug with early matchmaking that allowed four, and no one complained about any sort of degradation of their gameplay experience. Further, no one who ever makes this argument can ever give a legitimate example of any aspect of the game that would be ruined by an extra person.

[DoCZero]

4 player coop was traditionally because a screen had 4 quadrants and 4 player split-screen was a thing. For all those who say "why 4"... for pure selfish reasons - I have 3 other friends I game with.. one person misses out lol.. simple right ;)

[Oddball]

Wow, look at this guy. Having friends? Absurd.
