4 player coop campaign

[Louie04k]

3 or 4 player coop campaign would be an amazing addition to the game!

It has 2 player Co-op.

Edit: Ok then, as the OP has been edited - maybe. Maybe not. Who knows.

i know, i mean the option to have 3 or 4 player

The issue always lies with battles. If someone has a battle to fight then in coop there is the choice to spectate or play as AI. Obviously there could be the option to have several spectators and gift them units or have several people given AI units but there lies the issue of the original choice of to play as spec or AI. To have 3 or four people they obviously will have differing opinions,

Not only this but the effort CA would have to go through to implement this in even one game would be immense. Add it into one game and you need to add it into all the rest, as well as changing the campaign to suit 4 players at the time as well as to balance factions and objectives.

Overall it would be very cool to have 4 player COOP but I dont beleive it would work as well in the current state total war games are in and the interest CA has in developing the mutiplayer systems of them.

well yea they would have to change some things for sure, but think how massive wh3 would be, if they added that as a feature it would instantly sell more copies because of that alone. im more thinking of having this as something for wh3, im in no way expecting that for 2

I just set a stringent timer and lower the difficulty. Keeps things moving but you don't feel like the world will end if you make a somewhat sloppy turn.

I dont see this as a big undertaking since 2 player coop is already a thing, should be relatively simple. I don't know why it has never been done because I feel like there is suitable demand for this feature.

Doesnt help you have idiots b!tching and complaining why it shouldnt be in the game

Yes let CA spend millions of dollards of development time on a feature 0.0000001% of the player base would use.

Plus turns would take ridiculously long with 4 people unless they let players do a lot more things when its not their turn.

[Elitewrecker PT]

You'd assume people wanting to do a 4 player campaign would be aware of how long turns would take and it wouldn't matter to them.

Assuming people won't find a reason to complain?

I do not share your faith in humanity.

Agreed. I only play SP but that's because none of my friends are interested.
Doesn't the competitive multiplayer allow for more than 2 people in a campaign? If so, it can't be too difficult to adapt that to coop. If they are worried about what people think they could add a disclaimer to it, like the Lab.

how do you know it would take millions to develope it? are you a developer? and a major selling point of the game is coop campaign, get the stick out of your a$$
