The lack of co-op is heinous, and the expansion is not nearly as polished as MoW. New units seem tacked in, there are strange changes made to old units (like HE having tiny splash damage for some guns), the Marine’s AI is a little messed up, the sounds are not as good as MoW. Some of the missions are totally mind numbing and un-fun: the wave defense missions, the human wave attack missions.

BUT. Some of the missions are an absolute blast! It’s such a shame there isn’t co-op, they’re still fun in single player. My favorite missions are the ones where they give you a small team of bad dudes and an insurmountable objective. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bk2TVEeGCpg

Man, looks like they don’t read this forum. They just lost what looks like all of their sales.

I’m a kind of fan or appreciator of these series of games. Red Tide offers more of the same which is both fortunate and unfortunate. An uber-polished Dynamic Campaign Generator is what i’m truly yearning for.

I’m on level 5 of the original and I didn’t even know it *had* coop! D:

I’ll definitely have to try that, though!

I bought the game on release with no idea it didn’t contain co-op. So I was very disappointed. I still would have bought the game, just not on the day of release for quite so much money…

However, the single-player campaign is a vast improvement in every way over MoW’s.

I got 2 levels in and realised either I was shockingly awful at it, or it was soul crushingly hard. either way, never played it again :(

Heheh – I managed to get a whopping 2 levels into the original MoW before getting distracted by shinier things. Any word of whether this demo lets you save your game? MoW’s didn’t, and therefore made it all but useless as a gauge of the game’s quality.

No co-op? Meh.

The obvious reason to dismiss co-op is probably because they didn’t have enough time to implement the feature.

No problem for friendless gamers like me though.

I guess we’ll have to wait until someone mods co-op into this, then.
