Co-Op Fortress Mode
« on: August 25, 2011, 11:27:15 PM »
My friend and I love defense scenarios like in the new fortress mode, but it would be really cool if we could both defend together. Could you consider adding two or more players to the defending side in the future?

Defending 1v1 PvsP is not good idea. Better is make 2v2 co-op map.

I watched my friend play it and it reminded me of the final mission on Tales of Valor, where you are the Germans and have to defend your base and a bit of territory while German AI retreat.

That was my favorite mission and I think it would be cool if Fortress mode was co-op and maybe had an infinite wave option, so you and your friend could see how long you last.

Even in its current state Fortress Mode is better than Stonewall. The new AT guns are awesome, and its cool being able to build building and all the units you use in skirmish.

Red Tide/Blitzkrieg, including fortress mode, will be supplied with a custom map very soon.  ;)

Sweet. And I haven't been on the forums in a while but what happened with the Ostheer? I thought they were supposed to be on this patch?

I knew it didn't add them, it just seemed like it would since what I had read before I stopped checking was that they were done except a few skins and animations.

The Fortress Mode makes up for it though. And if there are over 200 balance changes and bug fixes that's fantastic.

Most of Ostheer stuff needs to be animated, otherwise we wouldn't delay the last ostheer video/sneaky peaky :P.
