Co-Optimus

Today, High Moon studios announced Transformers: Fall of Cybertron would be bringing back War for Cybertron's cooperative Escalation mode. This is awesome news, because that means we can start covering it again! I was able to speak with Activision's JD Livergood, the associate producer for the latest Transformers game. We discussed the revamped Escalation mode while I got some hands-on time with a few single player missions.

I was able to confirm that Escalation mode would support four player online co-op, which is one more player than the title's predecessor. Each faction has their own Escalation mode - that's right, players can take control of either the Autobots or Decepticons. A team will be made up of four preset characters. The Autobots will feature Optimus Prime, Bumble Bee, and two more characters he didn't want to mention. The Decepticons will field Megatron, Starscream, and once again, two more characters JD may or may not have forgotten.

But still no campaign co-op by the look of things. That's what I really want from this game.

@Mugsy That's right, the main story mode will not have a cooperative campaign.

I think survival modes are fun, but a co-op campaign would have been awesome. I like having different classes/characters for the survival mode, I'm all about team work and support.
