Does anyone have any legitimate information/news about Co-op for the single player campaign?

Yes, I understand they have stated NO MULTIPLAYER, SINGLE PLAYER only, but coop is a distinct version of multiplayer, that if used will still maintain the Singleplayer element of the game. You would just be replacing your AI lance mates with your friends.

I've spent a fair amount of time looking online & watching videos on this. I still have no answers, just the usual, no multiplayer tag line.

You've answered your own question. Co-op is multiplayer, so when they say "no multiplayer, single player only" it is highly likely that that includes any and all kinds of co-op being off the table. They don't really need to specify beyond that first qualifying statement if it's pretty much 100% "nope."

All I got to play was a super pre-pre-pre alpha build today.... tyatvside of the game was not even being talked about.....

But I can say this, if you are your shot right you can hit something at 1200m with an AC/20 and do damage.

A co-op campaign would get quite a lot of love. It's something BT fans have been wanting since MW1 I expect. Even the Total War franchise managed to get it working and it's really improved their games. If PGI could manage some kind of co-op, even as a later update if the base game sells well enough, then I expect their sales would get a pretty solid boost.

I don't think they want to risk taking away anymore players from MWO than necessary. Adding a coop function would definitely draw more people away.

Well apparently you're getting 4 player co-op, according to Russ.

People custom made coop capability for MW4. So it is not entirely out of the question. Just have to wait for it.

Makes sense, that's one of the most popular types of single player FPS. Now what would really sell it is a console port with split screen multiplayer, but that's probably not on the table right at this moment.

Okay, so I was wrong. This is good, though. Maybe I can convince my buddies to big stompy robots with me.

Not funny dude.

Had a dev at my table when the announcement came out. Yes, co-op will be replacing your AI lancemates with a person for a mission. They need to work on the AI scaling to adjust accordingly. With the way the campaign works with picking your own spot in the universe to start and going from there, it sounded like the co-op was a drop in replacement of an AI, and not an entirely separate campaign.

It would be likely be X-box exclusive if it did port to console due to the Microsoft licencing of mechwarrior to PGI.

[Radbane]

4 player Coop MW5? Oh my!! That's the best thing I've heard since PGI restarted the MW franchise. I've been patient and lojal to MWO since closed beta though I really do not like PvP games, but when MW5 hits Steam I'm so out of here.

I just hope it's a little bit more advanced than just being able to replace a friendly AI with a Friend. I want my teammates to chose their own mechs from my stable, and have the ability to tweak them to their likening with the unused things laying around in my inventory.

Yeah, man. Anime mods is srs bsns!

Singleplayer with co-op if you wish for it. teah no true multiplayer. MWO takes care of that.
MW5Mercs will have 4 player PVE co-op as the closest to multiplayer. And I hope it stays that way. No reason to spread their focus on other things regarding multiplayer. The game needs all the attention it can get without also forgetting to take care of MWO.
