No worries people. CO-OP will receive some love on Monday. As for Hard and Nightmare, we want your feedback.

We are definitely considering adding new difficulties "Insane", "Suicide", to provide the real challenge to REAL Generals, but this is something that we don't want to do now. We want to concentrate on the implementation and finalization of GW 2 first.

Its been an immensly fun weekend with the new "insane" & "suicidal" challenges!!! --- please keep them for the future.

Does 'a little love' mean ... 7 cannons?



NOTE: The 7th cannon is off to the left, could not screen capture it ...

(My two calvary are on minimap, in the center, ready to take out the 7 cannons)

Victory -- though poor teammates, got Friendly fired on while I was taking pictures *blushes in shame*



My two calvary gave up their lives to take out the 7 cannons.

990 is my new highest FF, I’ve been able to keep it under 600 before now *hides*

Also this is my standard cooperative team (two calvary, one HI & 3 archers), which can win the new “insane/suicide” cooperatives, by sending the two calvary up top, to wipe out all the cannons & archer. The Heavy can tank, and the 3 archers can then take out all the specials.

Win rate is ~80% even with randoms with this team … [Though a lot of wins, are by running the lone remaining calvary around the screen until timer runs out]

Anyway the new tactics required for the new cooperatives are a blast.  Thanks for a fun weekend.

lol You encountered an enemy Artillery detachment!

We are nerfing all difficulties, but still trying to make them a bit (tiny bit) more challenging than they were before.

However, we WILL add more difficulties which will be similar to the ones you are experiencing right now.
