Question about 4 player vs 8 player
Does the difficulty scale when it is set to 8 player co-op compared to 4 player?

If there's more than 4 players, spawnrate of drones increase

You get twice the basic enemies if you start the mission with 5 or more marines present. This will last for the remainder of the mission. No matter whether they're bots or players, or how many die during the mission.

And it's much worse when you don't know about it. The weapons beginners usually magnet to - the basic rifles - are already underperforming with normal enemy count in many cases, and since new players aren't yet used to altfire's crowd-clearing capabilities, the enemy doubler seems to result in 8-player nooblobbies failing more often than 4-player ones.
Or, imagine someone thinking "this seems a bit too hard, let's add bots", and pushing the marine count over 4 with the bots, ironically making the game much harder.

Loli is forgetting the most important aspect. More players means you need better coordination, like not shooting your teammates in the back.

he tries to trashtalk again

no,more people does not mean more coordination needed. u r 100% wrong.
sad you only write here to try troll and think you do it.

the coordination think is offtopic its nothing added from 4 or 8 player lobbies.
also its wrong that it changes with the amount of players.
also its wrong that coordination has something todo with shooting people in the back.
pls use google translator next time. it does not make alot of sense what you try to tell.


or atleast stop going offtopic in every thread from a real player and stop these trolling tries.
thanks.

So in your math coordinating with 3 or 7 others requires no more effort.
Quite interesting. Should mention that at work. Maybe I can get a bonus for saving money.

You lovingly mention trolling, but so far you give no arguments for anything and just state people are wrong while desperately trying to insult while you clearly have no sense of grammar yourself.

Explain where I need a translator or how I would not be a real player. For once give some argument instead of talking trash. I am almost starting to feel sorry for your complete lack substance.

my post was full of facts.
i list them.for you if they were not clear:
- coordination does not change from 4 to 8. 3 and less is something completly different and also needs more coordination
- alien spawns change for each marine over 4: adds 25% more drone spawns
- on higher difficulty with onslaughts it even gets easier cause only more drones and less prespawns (alienlimit from higher spawnrate and hordes prevents more spawns of special aliens and prespawns)

all facts.
and two more that are out off topic cause u insist for more facts. more players change the alien HP and 1 to 2 players also have more prespawns on highest difficulty.

so pls stop posting nonsense and derailling threads. thx

So far you do not mention much arguments. You just repeat a statement and keep adding things that are not of the debate.

Constantly ending every single post you make with requests to stop trolling and derailing does not make you right either. It is a discussion board and it you that keeps adding things that have nothing to do with the topic at hand, like what translator I may need to use according you.

So, please stop posting nonsense in a vain effort to come off as the self-righteous troll. Thanks!
