So you're saying untruths.

So the in the real war pilots all fired up their machines at the same exact second and met in the middle? haha

And IL2COD has COOPs. It has servers that rotate missions as well. It has objective based missions.

You know what is true about every single mode of play? It has to be made.

As DF server, you think there's some sort of GUI within this dos box that says "objective 1 click here to make" or "rotate mission by clicking this button"? No, of course not. All of that stuff that makes DF servers to their thing and COOP servers do their thing has to be programmed in the mission.

Why aren't people like me raising an uproar asking for a GUI to run a DF server? Oh wait, that's because we just figured out how to do it on our own. Guess what? COOPs use the same strategy.

A dog fight server is not a COOP in the way that nearly everyone else but you seems to understand.

I've said it before but I'll say it again. The COOP is to simulate a meeting engagement often (but not always) one that is historical.So this is something that HAS happened in real life.

Don't forget, coops also doesn't need a middleman, e.g. ATAG, to be played.

How well do IL2 Coops work without Hyperlobby?

Don't do it, David. All this 3rd party stuff that made things possible should obviously be in the game from the get go. Duh!

Just saying Dave, just saying....

P.S With regards to the subject of the thread, go ahead! keep alienating players for CoD and future installments. I'm sure new people will start streaming to the online servers aaaany day now, lol! As soon as they realize the errors of their ways, playing traditional coops in this case.

You just said that coops don't need a middle man. Well, it appears that that is not true. They need Hyperlobby.

By the way, no one is saying that dogfight servers are just like coop servers. What has been said is that most of the functionality of coop servers can be done with the current mission editor.

Well, they're certainly not streaming to the RoF coop servers. Those are packed with crickets.
