I seem to get overly excited about 4 player co-op. But truth is it's hard for me to get the same 4 ppl to beat it from begining to end. But we'll see. I'm pretty sure when this game is released, 90 percent of my friendslist will be playing so it won't be hard to find someone.

You're right, I haven't. But it's regular co-op with two extra players. How unbelievable cn it be?:?

Did you see the gameplay vid? Gears of War is actually tactical now! Four player co-op will give you so many badass options in terms of getting through levels. Picture a friend and a locust being in a chainsaw battle and you come up and slice the locust up, while your other 2 friends are flanking.

Go play Halo 3 with 4 player co-op then you will understand. With 4 each charging in at different directions and working together its really fun, even more so than 2 player co-op.

I personally wasnt extremly excited when I heard about Halo 3's 4 player co-op, but once I played it I found it very fun.

I'd be happy with any online co-op at all, but 4 players is awesome. My best memory of Halo 3 was going through the campaign on legendary with three of my friends. Gears co-op will probably even be better since there will be blood everywhere and strategy added to it. I can't wait.

Exactly we're in this gen, not last. 4 player co-op is nice, but its not revolutionary. I mean look at Resistance 2, a game to follow up a (As some people would like to say, but I personally had a blast with) mediocre game will have 8 player co-op with its own co-op campaign... So if a "mediocre" game can pull of 8 player co-op what's so special about 4?

4 is a reasonable number. You still tear up the map even on the hardest setting and it's still some what challenging.

I'm glad Epic isn't trying to boast bigger kahunas.

8 is going be easy mode and people fighting over weapons and health packs. Oh yay the fun.

I noticed it, but that was right after I was ok with the 5v5 and the noticable graphics bump.

Well, you had 2 players and 2 AI in the last game and 4 players this time. What's the difference?

hopefully they adjust the difficulty of the game to compensate.

That's like comparing polygons... If one game has more than another, it doesn't mean it's better.

Right on! Gears of War is an awesome game whether it was played on Single player or 2 player co-op. 4 player co-op is just going to rule, especially when you are fighting LARGE swarms of locusts. This game is so going to rock! :D

How about we all thank Halo 3 for raising the bar on this one. Sure it was not the first, but I'm sure it was a big motivator.

4 player co-op is a good thing and I think should be standard on all shooters from here on out, but it's not a big deal because after Insomniac announced Resistance 2 is going to have 8 and a separate campaign for the co-op mode, this isn't as big a deal. Still is great news though. I hope they pull off the 4 player co-op in Haze well or else it's gonna be totally worthless.
