Multiplayer/Co-Op & Frictional Games? NO!!! - Guest - 10-30-2006
What if there was a multiplayer version where one person was the human dude and everybody else was the creatures or 1 creature everybody else humans trying to kill it or like on Doom 3 there could be coop. So what do ya think.
RE: Multiplayer? - Dark - 10-30-2006
depends on the enviroment
we dont know if it is close quarters or have large open areas
if it is close quarters i would say no, cuz then 1 person is allways taking the lead and would get boring kinda fast then
would be cool with a manhunt type of game tough

Unlikely, coop and horror do not mix well. Also, there are numerus mods where you are a human and your enemies are player-controlloed monsters (Natural Selection just to name one). I also think that the HPL engine doesn't support netcode.

Multiplayer on a game like this, no, it won't work well, not when you don't can carry any weapon. Would be like Hidden Source / Vampire Slayer (Mod to HL1-2).

I am afraid there is no multiplayer planned. We are putting all effort in making a great single player experience.

at this time it probably needs a big recode if its going to have mp

Just to clear things up:
- The engine has no support for Networking
- It would be trivial to add network support.
- Networking will be added when we make a game that needs it.
There ya have it

Multiplayer sucks, no matter how good the game is. Why? Becuse you either play with idiots or assholes. Or a friend.
