First off, great news. Close Combat is very nice.

Now, the question at hand. Essentially, it sounds like the mp will be pretty much 1v1. Is there any possibility for coop to be implemented? It could just be two players tackling the AI. In terms of splitting things, it could simply be that the squads are divided amongst the players.

I imagine this would be quite a feat to implement, but I think - ultimately - this could potentially lead to many more sales, especially from old CC gamers. After all, coop would be a completely new feature and make the experience quite difference. I know coop would turn this from something I'd keep an eye on to an must-buy on day1.

Thanks!

Each person could have goals (wait until the 3 minute mark, then go for the crossroad, I'll push from the west at the same time, etc...), that may need to be changed when the plans come under enemy fire.

Good luck with the game!

We are working on 6 and 8 player mode but I do not think it will make it in this version.

Status: offline 		That's good to hear. (That you are working on it that is...). I think 6 player version would be ideal, unless therer are plans to increase the number of units on map.

Status: offline 		There are 2 directions that coop can go.  One is to have massively multiplayer (more than 1x1).  This already exists in 2 of the Military derivatives (CCM and CCRAFRegt) which support 5x5.  We could make it more, but there is no specific mandate to do that atm.

The other is to have coop AI.  This would allow the ability to manage more Teams without the need to micromanage everything, which would become exceedingly tiresome with a large battle group imo.

I find the prospect of coop AI hugely interesting, but not a little challange to be sure!

Status: offline 		I've been waiting for coop mode for ages, it would really be something extraordinary :)
Players could share units in the pool and if AI is bad, then let there be option for AI to have more troops so the challenge won't be that much of a problem.

I really, really hope cooperative campaign mode makes it into Close Combat series, I like coop very much in strategy games like Hearts of Iron 2 which is also realtime game. I also had great fun with CC IV and CC V where I used to share control of battlegroups which each of us having certain section of front to take care of.
I know also a dozen other guys who are mostly coop players so this can't just be a phenomenon among a niche audience.

That is our intention (and not just in Strategic mode either), though it will not happen with the re-releases.

Status: offline 		I'm curious whether the number of units and the size of the maps will be increased? For me that's the biggest issue. I did love the old CC-series, but I would have prefered more units.
