Is Splash Damage doing a Doom 3 Expansion?
A lot of us just beg for COOP gameplay. And if possible, some kind of random mission generator - i.e. you take say multiple goals (out of 30 or more) and mix them together, with random monster spawns, and such, for unlimited replay value.
Please say, yes. 
escapedturkey, what do you mean by coop? Cooperative missions, like “team A has to build a vehicle and and move that vehicle into team B’s base, to destroy a Steel Door - to steal a secret device.” When team A steals the device and brings it back to their home base, the game is over.
I haven’t mapped for Doom3 yet, but I always thought these kinds of multiplayer missions where possible to create (by the map maker), for multiplayer games? Just create a multiplayer map with the entities that I described, and set winner team A when device is brought to team A’s base. Then end game. Or?

Cooperative is like single player yet you can have people with you. Instead of only one person playing, multiple people can join, trying to accomplish the same missions, etc. So it’s not necessarily where one person has one task, another person has another (though that would be interesting), it’s also where a friend and yourself can play multiple compaigns against enemy AI together. s
You are afraid all multiplayer games are going to be corridors and rooms, and deathmatch?
There will be custom single players missions, I guess, too. But those will be time-consuming projects. I wish I had unlimited free-time. I want to make single-players-mayhem-missions. “It’s 2043, and Swedes run the world. You mission is to run around the base, where all robots and personel speak english with a swedish accent, and survive the challenges found on that crackpot base. Rumours say, there is a secret/evil IKEA furniture somewhere deep, deep inside the base. Find it, and maybe the world can rest at peace again…”

$$$ = motivation.
I’d rather see it in an expansion pack by a dev like SplashDamage. Most people I’ve talked to said they would purchase an expansion pack if COOP was included. There’s a lot of supposed free projects being tossed around (by mod makers and mappers), but we all know most will never come to light.
Hi again!
I did a little web-surfing. Apparently there is an an established concept in gaming called coop mode. I short, all joining multiplaying players team up - they join the same side, playing against AI entities. I did not know that there was such a thing as coop mode in games. Thanks escapedturkey.
I learn somehting new every day I guess

Hm, coop shouldn’t be that hard to create, in theory.
EDIT: I started a new thread here:

In reply to the topic: No, we’re making a full game based on the Doom 3 engine (as it says on our news page :)).
I did not know that there was such a thing as coop mode in games.
It’s such a shame that co-op mode has been pushed aside for almost every major PC title nowdays, we’ve now reached the point where some newer gamers don’t even know what it is. In the days of 2D gaming you could always plug in a joypad or insert some coins and join your buddy and complete the game together. It’s being phased out completely in PC games.
By the way, just to rub salt into the wound, Doom3 on Xbox (yes, the technically inferior system) has co-op mode in it.
Didn’t Perfect Dark, for N64, have a similar mode? Two players could play thru a level together, shooting the bad guys in stereo

I was absolutely gutted that Halo PC didn’t have co-op. And im equally gutted Doom 3 doesn’t have co-op. Please, for the love god… if on the off chance you are making RTCW, PLEASE add co-op to it. Something RTCW was lacking.
I there’s no official co-op release I sure someone will make a mod that adds it.
Can you tell us who is making a Doom 3 expansion so we can beg them for COOP?
Please, please, please.
