The previous thread on this subject was locked for reasons beyond the MP topic. So I should like to proceed the disccussion and let's hope this time no one will mention the "forbidden" words
Now this is a quote from the previous thread. I am trying to be as polite as possible, but iit is amazing how some people post just for the sake of posting without even knowing what they are talking about. Obviously M&B is not a action game and obvioulsy the action MP options are not quite suitable for it. And obviously some people don't even know what cooperative mode is.
So - even the first Baldur's Gate, which has great SP and which was bought because of the SP, offered and great cooperative MP too. You can finish the whole game playing together with your friends without even going in SP mode. Not to mention the later similar games...
Everyone who is curious how it was made can browse the official bioware forums or the tremendous number of dedicated fan sites and clans seats.
No way can this be Co-Op, what looking at the map together, oh what fun getting from A to B....
And for warring sides, it wont work because it'll be Real Time Chess waiting for the right moment to strike, my guess is that they will either look for each other to fight (Arena Battle Anyone?) to waiting for them to fight a company of CPU soldiers before joining in (Arena Battle with Gank).
I dont think this game can be MP at all, only thing it can provide is DM, Team DM, maybe also racing for the horses, CTF, Assault and Defense (but wont prolly work anyway since it wont be implemented I heard).
EDIT: Also consider how one would do the resting part, as when one rest he will need to wait for the other player to rest or to waste the time required (usually long) to counter the other players rest, of course the obvious solution is to disable it prolly but still be bad as the player's units needs to rest as well.
