Topic: Ai through Coop?
Now to be honest I don't play coop. I don't know how it works, how many people can join, etc. But one thing I think I know, is that there is ai during a multiplayer game. Can this be exploited into making servers, maybe for 24 players, then having 8 ai players that can be used for special purposes?
If possible theres a whole bunch of nifty things you could do with it. Wild creatures that attack people (rancor), special commander assests (maybe on infantry only maps we might see some 'call in able' air strikes, where the fighters are actually ai run, or how about for the imps some dark trooper pods, that could fall down like supply boxes, and then ai run dark troopers (driod stormies) can spawn from it), auto turrets on some maps (deathstar), and some othre really nifty stuff. How many players can coop mode handle, and can it be exploited to achieve similar means to the stuff i described?
The dark troopers were first unleashed shortly after the Battle of Yavin, on the unsuspecting Alliance installation of Tak Base. The Empire launched the droids via hyperspace capsules, in a fashion similar to the distribution of deep space probe droids. The inhuman soldiers tore through all resistance, and devastated the Rebel outpost on the planet Talay. Investigating this disturbing new assault was Alliance mercenary Kyle Katarn. He uncovered the secret dark trooper project, and traced it back to its source, the immense production facility aboard the Arc Hammer, General Mohc's flagship.
