Co Op mode?

[StoneCold1664]

Hello,

Just bought this for my son and I to play co op. How do we go about this please? Can't find an invite button anywhere!

Thanks

Hold F on the person you want to invite, there'll be an invite option. Have fun!

Right now there is no option to create a "local server" i think, and i'm not sure that it will happen.

The only way to play with your son is to play on multiplayer, or to rent a server(quite expensive), and put a password to it.

The last option(the best for you i guess) is to find an official server that is not overpopulated, i suggest you server #1714.

Thanks for the responses.

Marvellous. So not co op then as stated on steam!!!!

Any idea how much the servers cost to rent?

[Mark Marlowe]

Around 22€ for a month from what it looks.

Online coop is sadly a bit misleading at the moment, because there is no coop. What they mean with coop right now is the option, that you can invite ppl into a squad in multiplayer mode. I though coop is something else too, hope they will add that later (invite other to your sp game or host a dedicated server for friends).

Wrong. You can do this on any server

It is indeed co-op as stated.

You can co-op on the server and as soon as you find each other on the map. But there is still friendly fire ;-)

Yeah, for me coop means together against ai opponents. With ppl inviting into a squad the new battlefield would be a coop game too :D

yeahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh the games definition of " co op " is kina sketchy at best

Nope. Co op means you co-operate with other players if you so choose. Which you can. Nothing sketchy about it. Your interpretation of what co-op means is wrong, that is all.

That's not what co-op means. It means you co-operate with players/friends against other players and/or AI. Which you can. Nothing ambiguous about the term co op. Only people having the wrong idea of what co-op ACTUALLY means.

[Tomfaysal]

If that's the case, then every Multiyplayer game is a co-op game what's not the case. I think co-op means playing together what you normaly play sp too, like missions or story games.

That's what wikipedia says too btw:
"Cooperative gameplay (often abbreviated as co-op) is a feature in video games that allows players to work together as teammates, usually against one or more AI opponents."

Then mine and 97% of modern gamers is also wrong.

How does it feel to be the only person that " right " and the rest of the world is wrong ?!

all you want is to lurk and try to start/compete/win battles and i dont have time for that type of nonesense goodye

Perhaps, but then that is a number you pulled out of yer arse.
Also everything I said was valid. You're actually arguing with yourself here.

Yes you are spot on. The moment you introduce enemies which are not A.I, it becomes multiplayer.

Incorrect

cooperation
noun
the action or process of working together to the same end.
"they worked in close cooperation with the British Tourist Authority"
synonyms: collaboration, working together, joint action, combined effort, teamwork, mutual support, partnership, coopetition, coordination, liaison, association, synergy, unity, concurrence, concord, accord, understanding, give and take

Co-op multiplayer games have existed for a long time. Recent ones you may be familiar with are Escape From Tarkov, PubG, Fortnite...heard of those? From casual to hardcore, with SCUM being somewhere inbetween.

Regardless of your interpretation, the fact is that the game was advertised correctly and all one had to do was check out a few videos or streams to understand the game's premise. You didn't do that now you're whining about your own mistake and attacking those pointing out your mistake? Ok then, if that's how you want to go about it, feel free to whinge away. Nobody is stopping you. You could also refund the game and find something more up your alley like perhaps State of Decay 2. @op
