Why only 3 player co-op?

[Just Terrible Gameplay]

Why not 4 ffs... or 5? or 6? What an absolutely stupid decision...

Now we getting some interesting thoughts. I am now thinking it would be cool if a future dlc (since there is no news what will be in season pass) did a large number vs small number Tyranid vs Space Marine versus set up. For example with 32 players, 29 vs 3, where the 29 tryanids (starting as mere drones), try to eliminate the 3 heavily armed badasses.

Just a thought since the future of the season pass is unsure. Same idea can work on smaller scale of 16 or 8 (simply increase how quickly, and how large the tyranid players can evolve into other types for balance). It all about trying to achieve a player versus player controlled horde mode, that is somewhat balanced and fun for both sides.

Honestly, l wish the campaign didn't have co-op. No I have to worry about singleplayer being ♥♥♥♥ because it won't be balanced properly.

3 player co-op is a big disappointment after Space Marine 1 had 4 player co-op.

Space Marine 1 is 4 player co-op
Darktide is 4 player co-op
Helldivers 2 is 4 player co-op

And I regularly play these games with 3 others. . . guess I have to decide which friend I like the least. : /

LoL imagine being so self entitled that you instantly start being personal and rude while also totally failing in your high horse tantrum.
OP is right. 3player coop. "if you opened your eyes youd see they announced 6 player modes" are only pvp and not coop modes.

imagine having a issue with a single digit. 3 or 4 why would it matter? im sure ANY situation doesnt require 4 SPACE MARINES player controlled. unless maybe the void is exploding and all planets are just suddenly being evaporated

It did not have campaign co-op or narrative co-op. It only had a survival mode 4 player "co-op" where the only goal was to kill everything and capture points together.

Exactly, so the expectation is Space Marine 2 would have pairity with this. If it's only 3 player co-op for the story that's okay. But downgrading the dedicated co-op mode from 4 players to 3 players is a dissapointment. : (

Honestly, Dow 2 was like that. This is not a new thing. 3v3 PvP and 2v2v2 PvP. For co-op, you did The Last Stand with 3 players. Campaign was only 2 players. If anything, the developers stuck with what worked in the past. It could have been any number of reasons they made it only 3 players. To be honest, it would be a good thing for less lag. Unless you all play locally.

.......I have 2 friends. So that works out with the 3 player co-op.

[TrueWOPR]

Because it's what they did in Space Marine 1 (and DoW2:R's Last Stand)
So it means less work since they can just recycle the game mode.

If you opened your eyes you'd see OP said "Co-op" as in Cooperative PVE (Campaign). He's clearly not talking anout the Competitive PVP Multiplayer.
