So yeah. Kind of an important question that PGI seems hellbent on ignoring. Will people who buy from Steam and people who buy from Epic be able to play co-op? It's not the hard, simple yes or no. I have my suspicions, but PGi is dancing around it like a high-impact ballerina.

If they use the same servers or local hosting? Probably.

If not(more likely) no. Because that would require effort.

I wouldn;'t be surprised if PGI pulls Coop play.

This all because they used the unreal engine. This was their hail mary. MWO survival maybe riding on its success. Likely the game will need its own player base. I dont trust Epic.

MWO has stopped making money,Russ has even admitted to this. I wouldn't be surprised if PGI is ready to put MWO on maintenance mode.

MW5 is PGI's hail mary to even survive. They backed themselves into a corner with Mechpacks,and again with preorders only.

The foolish never learn.

Pulls coop play cuz their stupid decision to put it on epic declines the player numbers to the point where its not longer feasible to support the servers. Then that further alienates those who wanted to play the game for Coop....

Its almost like they want the game to die before its even born.....Video Game Full term abortion?

Shooooooot, had MWO had PVE, I woulda gone broke buying all the new mechs to play in that lol. Even if it was as bad as Armored Warfare. Blood Asp, Warhammer, Zeus, Awesome, Warhawk, Mad Dog, Timberwolf, Summoner, Hellbringer, Marauder, Uziel, Shadowcat, ****, there are so many mechs in MWO that are friggin awesome, and would be fun as hell to play in some rompy stompy PVE action....

To bad MW5 isnt even going to deliver.....

When has PGI cared about what they do? They always have delivered a minimally viable product. Russ never knew what direction to take MWO,how do we know he even has a clue where to take MW5?

The PVE is what keeps Armored Warfare alive against it's peers. It has a story mode,it has missions that make good money etc. But that requires effort,and we all know PGI simply is unable to perform hard effort like that. Remember Escort modes braindead VIP?

MW5 coop is peer to peer. As such before it's been out 48 hours someone will have a client you can use to play with anyone.

You're not playing on Epic or Steam or whoever servers. The only thing it's using Epic for is direction to IP.

I just want to see how embedded the Epic client is. If it's just to download and then never open again, I'm good.
