Command & Conquer Co-Op Gameplay

[Sonic 295]

Here's something interesting. Progress has been made on getting co-op gameplay working in the original Command & Conquer. Its still early days and there is much to be done before its 100% perfect but you have to start somewhere. Below is a short gameplay video showing one of the edited maps from the final mission of the GDI campaign.

 

This thread in the C&C Communications Center Forums explains what is currently being worked on.

There are some pretty weird side effects with it though; apparently the AI builds everything it has access to in its tech tree, and for some bizarre reason this also means it keeps building MCVs

Too bad the video does more demonstrating of scouting than actual co-op gameplay...

Its a great step in the right direction though! Get all the bugs and side effects worked out and id say you've got a great addon to a great classic! One id definitely pick up and play!

I'm constantly amazed by people still modding this old gem.

[Nyerguds 100]

This isn't modding though. It's purely mapping / mission making.

Perhaps not traditional modding, but I would still classify it as a form of modding...

[Nyerguds 100]

How so? All he did for this was rename a single player map (one of the three GDI #15 ones) to the multiplayer name format, and made sure the starting points were at the top.

Well he made the game do something it normally doesn't do, in my opinion, that's a form of modding.

Would you then call Warcraft 3 custom maps like Dota, Tower defense etc. modding as well?

[Nmenth 290]

I don't know what Tower Defense is, but yes, DotA is a mod as far as I'm concerned.

Best Tower Defense game for C&C Generals Zero Hour.

Difference is, those things actually change unit and function functionality.. this doesn't; it' s a co-op mission, but it's still pure C&C1.
