Idk, I kinda liked the 2 player co-op. I really hope that one person can't skip all the cutscenes. Or you have the option to play the game with one other person. It just felt right having one person being marcus and one playing dom, like army of two. I also hope the 4 player-ness doesnt make it more laggy...are you happy about 4 player co-op?

I did my happy dance when I heard it was 4 player coop

Have they said if it's offline, online or a combination of the above?

Would have preferred the 5 player rumored co-op, but 4 is fine. I guess I expect too much in a world where most games don't even have full campaign co-op let alone 4 player.

I imagine if it's like Gears 1 & 2 it'll be 2x Player split-screen max and 4 player System Link/Live, presumebly this will include a split-screen option too.

I was kinda hoping for 4 player split screen, but I guess I should keep my expectations down and maybe be happily surprised.

we have a winner here...people must just like to complain for the sake of complaining.

Very sad. I hate co op missions. They spend years developing the main storyline then allow people to run through it in a few hours. I havent been able to finish Resident Evil 5 because the AI sucks so badly. However there is a solution to this and that is to enable you to take over any AI co op player at anytime.

Who said you couldnt played it with 2-player?? xD, i think is really awesome gears with 4 players, still i think it will be a maximum of 2 players per console.

Still play with only 1 friend if u want it 2 player campaign

This is awesome news. Coop makes a game worth owning to me. So Gears 3 is an instant buy now. Games without replayability I usually just rent.
