So it can' t just be coop, it has to be players on different sides...but then the objectives will have to be super simplified so that people dont just go off and do their own thing and spoil the story for everyone else.

Hmm, should be interesting. Tbh I still dont quite get how it' d work. Maybe a half sp half mmo like Huxley..or someone was saying you' d be playing sp, and then human players could jump in and out of random bad guys, and you' d never know which...



Valve' s also sponsoring that ' Left 4 Dead' game by Turtle Rock - which is basically coop resi evil 4 with human players jumping in and out of the game on both sides...heh, ok maybe it won' t quite live up to that, but the concept is awesome!

(Actually the focus was mainly coop 4 v endless AI zombies, but the above was one of the ideas thrown around...)

There was an exclusive in the last PC Gamer, which I would scan.. if I had a scanner.

Looks kind of like a gta FPS but could be like cops vs. robbers vs. gangs vs. assassins vs. that dude on the corner

Maybe a cross console/PC FPS. A game where every match is PS3 vs. 360 vs. PC. An FPS where each platform represents a race in which you fight on the same team as your race, each with very different abilities and control. Every fanboys wet dream.


Or simply multiplayer with three or more teams instead of two.

...hadn' t thought of that and it' d definitely rock, but it doesn' t seem like that much of a big deal compared to what the trailer makes it out to be...

" Fusing Singleplayer with Multiplayer" .....that' s got to be some sort of pre-scripted linear storytelling were levels or objectives are executed by a team of networked players....


...freakin AWESOME....
