Would it be possible to have 2 players on the same side (with 3 AI allies) against 5 AI? Or is it strictly PvP?

So you could do 2 vs. 1, 1 vs. 1, 4 vs. 3, etc. but it does not allow a mix of players and AIs as far as I'm aware. Andrew from CSO Simtek can confirm this, but I'm pretty sure that's the case.

Status: offline 		MP fighting against AI doesn't strike me as being particularly desirable. In all the time that I spent playing BAG's WNLB and ANGV at Gamespy, I can only remember seeing folks playing the AI twice, and I honestly believe that the only reason that we did so was because that was the only way that we could play the largest scenarios (which required 3-4 players per side). The truth be known, we would have preferred to play those same scenarios against humans, but the game simply wasn't stable with 6-8 players.

I have to agree playing against the AI solo is easy enough and one person wants Coop? hahahahaha Better to play against one another than playing coop. These are PC games not console kiddy games. ;)

I know this is a PC game, I know AI is no match for a veteran player, but I review such games from years and coop play is still a good feature for a lot of players. I can use a very tough handicap in terms of difficulty level and play coop with a friend against AI, and I find this very funny. I want underline that the gaming experience is very different in coop play: you must coordinate with the other player. If you can't play with 3 or 4 persons, and you want experiment with a single friend coop, you simply need coop play against AI.

I always vote for a choice. So if people want co-op against the A.I. and Matrix wants tor provide it, then all the better. It would be fun.

Yep, not a console kiddy game. That's why it should allow co-op against the AI. Very much like real life. It's a blast to have to coordinate your efforts against the enemy. It also allows me to focus my attention on a lot fewer units.

Absolutely, my buddy and I play a few games head to head but always play co-op whenever we can. Much more fun to plan tactics and discuss strategy while we play.

On top of that, the battlefield is so lethal that you can use an extra hand

Also Unless you play Halo 1 on legendary or COD4 on veteran and bet the prologue mission on the plan in 60 seconds DON'T EVER rag on freaking console gamers...please.
