    I was thinking, like, Blizzard could add multi-player campaigns in Starcraft 2. I mean, its always fun to play with another guy and stomping on the bots. Well, I hope they could make these missions after they release the single player campaigns or something.

    ?!? We already had a thread on this, but is has disappeared?!?

    Anyway, I like the idea, but only as the same missions you already had. It would be a shame if people missed out on certain parts of the game, while others still get to see it. -finding people to play a specific map can be a pain sometimes-

    Maybe this will be a feature added in the zerg or protoss release of the singleplayer? But make it kinda like red alert 3 where if you don't have any friends you get a computer to help you =P.
     
  4. Blizzard, like, already said that they weren't going to do this, like, for the main campaign, but, who knows, they might, like, do it for some side-campaigns released later like, like, the Enslavers missions.

    Sven coop is a half-life based co-op game. It was really popular before half-life 2 came out... Well, what I'm trying to say is that >1 players in a campaign is much more fun. Heck, players could even make their own co-op campaigns!
     
  6. This could work in side-campaigns and custom campaigns but probably wouldn't work in the main campaign where the overworld and branching missions play a large part and the terrain is designed around one person playing. Now, the missions themselves could probably be edited or recreated so even if Blizzard is against the idea it could be implemented if someone wanted to enough.

    But, a team melee-type option would be a great idea since it wouldn't require and editing of the terrain.

    When I first played team melee in Starcraft 1, I instantly thought "Why can't I do this in the campaign?"
     
  8. You and me both :D In fact, me and my friend were talking about that the other day. We wanted to co-op campaign so bad. But, unfortunately, we couldn't so we had to download some custom/side-campaign co-op missions.

    Yeah it would be funny to play against the cpu, actually with the improved AI we will have in SC2. I hope this will be a surprise in SC2 :) But anyway: it is not the most important.. I think many user created maps/campaigns will be made co-op.
