“Halo Wars” and “Starcraft 2” in co-op |
The opponent knows much better, the chat goes wild and somewhere along the way the fun falls by the wayside …
Are multiplayer duels against other players also too exhausting for you? Fortunately, many games offer a co-op mode (short for cooperation), in which you can compete in duets against computer opponents.
Going into battle with a buddy side by side. Choosing tactics together to defeat the seemingly overpowering enemy. For many, that sounds more like fun.
BILD presents the duet options in the real-time strategy games “Halo Wars 1 & 2” and “Starcraft 2”.
“Halo Wars” with co-op campaign
Both “Halo Wars” parts offer a co-op mode. The complete story campaign can be tackled together with a buddy.
Both players start with a predefined number of units, which are distinguished from each other by different armor colors. If necessary, troops can be transferred, for example if one of the players should control all special units.
The colors provide information about the affiliation to a particular player
When it comes to tactics and the construction of bases, consultation is the order of the day, so that too many buildings of the same type are not accidentally erected. Both players draw on the same pool of resources, so not all supplies should be spent by one person. Who controls a new unit depends on who gave the build order.
“Halo Wars” and “Halo Wars 2” are a lot of fun in co-op mode, but the difficulty of the missions should be turned up a notch right at launch.
“Starcraft 2”: Special missions and leaders
In “Starcraft 2”, the story campaigns cannot be played as a duet. Instead, developer Blizzard provides a separate co-op mode. The selectable heroes all have special skills and an individual composition of units.
Each mission can be tackled at different difficulty levels, and new challenges are also available every week.
There is a lot of variety. For example, enemies get up again after they die or change into a different form after they die. The players must therefore think of completely new tactics to win battles.
The heroes in the co-op mode of “Starcraft 2” level up, thus unlocking more skills and units. Higher difficulty levels can also only be mastered with high-level characters. Blizzard thus creates long-term motivation for the co-op mode. Each hero also has his or her own strengths and weaknesses, so the combination of different heroes and armies allows for completely new tactics.
Each commander has unique skills and a special set of units
In addition to a set of free commanders, Blizzard also offers the purchase of additional leaders. However, these are quite expensive at 4.99 euros. New maps, on the other hand, do not cost any money. At the beginning of March, the last new map ” Night of Horror” was added. In this mission, players have to fight against infested people during the day, because as soon as the night falls, huge numbers of the undead start streaming towards their own base.
Team tactics
Whether it’s the story mode in “Halo Wars” or the special co-op mode in “Starcraft 2”. The coordination via voice chat provides completely new tactical possibilities in the genre.
► Strategists can only achieve success here with a team. Time pressure and optional bonus objectives provide additional challenge and tactical demand.
In the co-op missions, team play is required as the enemies often approach from multiple directions at the same time
