C&C3 Tiberium Wars - Can you have 4-5 player co-op vs computer?

NeilF · 10 Mar 2010 at 15:19

On my quest to find a new game for 4-5 of us to play in co-op mode, can you play C&C3 as 5 humans vs X AIs?

From the top of my head I'm pretty sure the player limit is 4 vs 4 so you couldn't have the 5 of you in one team.

For goodness sake! What is it about this magic number of 4???

I was sort of hoping with L4D2, the NPC model they found in the game data files, would mean that infact you could play (as standard) with 5 humans on a side if you wanted to... But no, lagical four again, just seemingly like every other game ever (Borderlands, Rainbox Six etc etc)

On the plus side, C&C4 is designed around 5v5 games and releases next week if that tickles your fancy

Can you not just use the deadtown extension to increase the coop/survival/etc playercount to 5? 8v8 works in L4D2 so I see no reason why you can't do 5 player coop too.

I think being killed is more fun than C&C4

He means the "downtown." extension, which I use along with other mods to allow Insanity Versus 8v8 on OcUK 6 (l4d2).

You should google it as it does indeed allow more players to play coop, but at the very least play it on expert mode as with more than 5 players the coop mode becomes far too easy...

So if I host my own L4D2 server (on a spare PC), and look into "downtown" extension, I we can play 5 survivors on a campaign?

Yes. I recommend you use a server at a data centre, but the spare pc idea should work, provided your internet connection can cope.

play wow if u like groups of 5

The last RTS I recall allowing 10 players/sides in a match was...Total Annihilation. (with a "cheat" command)

VaderDSL · 10 Mar 2010 at 23:22

Sins of a Solar Empire supports up to 10 players? you could have 2 teams of 5 for example.

Just want to be able to play co-op with 4-6 of us on a side, vs computer...

I'm a big C&C fan, I have all the major games including renegade :eek:

but not Kanes Wraith come to think of it :confused:

.

In regards to C&C 4 i'd wait for reviews first, the community seems to be split on whether the changes to C&C 4 over its predecessor are welcome.

If you want other suggestions, Serious Sam has up to 8 player co-op through the SP maps, if I'm not mistaken.

What's with the duplicate threads by the way?

From playing the beta its a fun enough game, takes a while to get over how different from traditional C&C.

Then again, i seem to be one of the few people on here that liked Red Alert 3 >.>
