Multiplayer Multi crewed u-boats?

oscar19681 · 08-18-09, 06:01 PM

How about allowing the players to crew postions on the same boat in multiplayer? I mean not 50 players on the same boat but about 10 positions with the most importent tasks.

If you believe IGN the current multiplayer plan for the number of players is:
Local Play: 8 Versus / 8 Co-Op
Online Play: 4 Versus / 4 Co-Op

Sound's great, but I wouldn't want to be part of the deck gun crew and have to just sit in my bunk all the time when underwater.

It could indeed be really fun playing like that

BUT...what about those interuptions

You are the captain and give the order to fire the torp. but the torp.office has left the game.

So you give the helm order to turn right full rudder....but helm has left the game.

Been suggested in detail before (by me, anyway, probably others).

Allow people to join online in mid game. Players can switch between useful positions—plotting, sonar, radar, deck gun/aa on surface, etc.

Why have dedicated positions for multi-user subs? If you're playing a coop submarine game presumably you're intelligent and communicative enough to be spotter/plotter, sonar/radar, or whatever combination you need at any given moment.
