Am I understanding co-op correctly? Disappointed. : Othor Games

Yeah and neither have you so how would you know?

Because they stated it has having 8 'LEVELS". L E V E L S.... You don't say, yes, its sandbox with 8 levels. LOL! THat doesn't make sense!!!

Go watch an interview

He's clearly stating it as something completely separated from the main game. What don't you get ? lol Seriously?

Bump. They go to all the length to create a separate co-op campaign (which will inevitably be lame), and don't simply have a second player in the main campaign? The mind boggles. I don't care how difficult it is to do, having a friend to just drop in and out while you're doing the campaign is priceless (even Molyneux with all his broken promises crowbarred it into Fable 3!), while starting a dedicated co-op offering will just be a chore where I will say "pfft, may as well...". Sincerely, I would rather full co-op, or no co-op at all. Please, id, do your stuff - this is a dealbreaker for me.

As I understand it, the co-op is going to be completely separated from the campaign, which is solo. This is highly disappointing news.

I thought all the quests, and side quests were part of the same large world and you could just team up like borderlands sorta speak, but that isn't how it works at all. I think it works more like, for example, call of duty having its single player campaign, with co-op zombies on the side. As I understand it, rage will work the same way with co-op. I Also understand that they only have 8 levels, or something like that. How big are they? Is the co-op even sandbox?

Highly disappointed by this news. I was greatly looking forward to this game but now I don't know, it seems like a borderlands/fallout mix but with cheap co-op as a side option instead of it being the main focus without any collectable loot or rpg elements. I don't like that at all. So much for the hype on this game, this might be the biggest disappointment in 2011 for me. Was really looking forward to the next "BIG" borderlands-structured game in a post-apocalyptic theme. Sadly this game doesn't seem like its going to offer that at all. Way to cheap out on us bethesda//id. I hate when I get disappointed on this kind of scale.

Game won't come out for another few months. If at all possible, it should be delayed and the co-op should be re-worked into a borderlands type structure, not this on-the-side co-op gimmick feature. Probably wishful thinking, but I had to say something about this.

Also from what I understand its only 2 player? Wow, I haven't been this disappointed in a long, LONG time.

WTF? Co-op isn't meant to be a big part of RAGE. It was always just a side option. Why put all of your focus of the greatest looking videogame ever into co-op. They said it was made for singleplayer use, and that's exactly what I see. I would imagine the co-op more like Portal 2, having a different, shorter campaign along with the main story.

That's correct. In a way, it's similar to what you'd see in Spec Ops mode in MW2. That's the best comparison I can draw.

thats how coop is in portal 2 as well

i simply do not understand the complaing???

there are other fps that do the same thing
cod was one, hmm... think it was cod modern warfare 2, which
had sp, multiplayer and a coop that was not the same as the sp

CoDMW2 has a really weak SP experiance, it was like 6 hours of play. This is the anit CodMW2 for me.
Everyonehas gotten way to into online TDM and CTF for my likings.
Theres nothing to making some maps and icons for people to use for those games.

This is garbage. Go back to your evil overlords and tell them we want co-op through the whole single player experience. You know, like all the games that you built your company on.

Wait I just want to make this clear for myself, so its a FPS game, but also has an open-world element in it?

thats what has been said. though there are places that it will be said it is directed, and so on. so i wouldnt expect a full open world like F3 was.. at least not for the locations that you encounter your differnt factions.
