CO-OP

How many players is the co-op? Do the servers run well? Interested in getting this with friends

the 'server' is p2p connection and it runs smoothly even when playing from the other side of the globe.

How does the co-op differ from the regular game? From what I gather in youtube videos the players don't even need to work towards a goal together. Just exist in the same world with dumb gestures and hats,.

Good to hear that it’s p2p, but how many players is the co-op?

So basically it's just singleplayer experience but obviously with another(or 3 more) player involved. Each player can work towards their own goal but all of them do need to be present when it comes to engaging a scan to trigger some combat encounters. From what I remember(would have to check in-game), there's some settings that would affect multiplayer like enemy scaling and such. A perk like Adrenaline which slows down time when activated also affects other players. If your co op partner died, you'll need to kill X amount of enemies before they can be allowed to respawn back in.

It's more fun to play it in co op for me personally but I might be biased as I am playing with my fiance, even in the demo.

So I have to have a friend online to play it then or how does the co-op feature work? Can I join a random player? Sounds like I can't so I may pass on this one, haven't decided yet..

No, can't join random player. I don't know if they have random matchmaking planned out but yeah, you can only join friends or by invitation only(so still friends)

bummer... thanks for letting me know, might not be so bad perhaps, still looks good either way, and considering I really enjoyed severed steel which might be okay
