Multiplayer/Co-Op & Frictional Games? NO!!!

[quote='hollowleviathan' pid='73563' dateline='1306955244']Looking this up, the MafiaIIMultiplayer is not yet out after 9 months, will use a professional networking middleware somehow integrated into the code, and is being developed by a team of people out of Holland, and as an aside making in-game models is also not trivial.

It takes a hell of a lot more time and resources to make a competitive (and balanced) multiplayer game with a dozen or more players simultaneously than it does for a simple 2 person locally hosted game.

Exactly! And as far as atmosphere, that's why true fans of it would still probably prefer single player...however, changing it up every now and then does no harm. You can dabble in things that are not your favorite but you still enjoy.
