Co-op?

[Nonagon]

What about this screenshot? See where it says "Play with a friend"? Doesn't that mean that BIS originally intended to have co-op mode in VB or does it mean something else?

According to the Van Buren F.A.Q, it was intended to include a coop mod ( done at Interplay's demand ).

Hmm, then I guess it couldn't hurt to show up in FO3, if you don't wanna play co-op then just don't, right?

What?
Because the Van Buren team had to do it (because of marketing), it must be good?
Dear god, what crappy reasoning.

Yeah, WTF? Just because Van Buren HAD to do so it doesnt mean they would make MP very nice or detailed. Jeez...

Dudes... you should expect DEATHMATCH and CTF since Fallout 3 is gonna be a FPRPG... aka a complicated FPS.

I didn't say it would be good dude, just that it couldn't hurt to be in FO3, and no I'm not ordering them to put it in I'm just saying it would a bonus. And btw, I wasn't reasoning, it was only a suggestion.

Ugh, what a ridiculous distinction.
Essentially, you're justifying co-op not on the merits of co-op but solely on the fact that the VB team was planning to put it in.
Why do you think that anything the VB team does could not be harmful to Fallout 3?

 

[Nonagon]

Alright, just forget it then

Haha, someone else is taking the heat for my idea.
