"add 2p Co-Op" :: Metro: Last Light Redux General Discussions

Zombrex’s mod doesn’t rewrite the netcode entirely. Instead, it uses a Halo: Reach style "firefight" approach combined with screen-sharing exploits.

Metro 2033 uses a checkpoint-based save system. Co-op requires a persistent game state. Modders would have to invent a new save/load system from scratch.

You might ask: "Modders added co-op to Skyrim and Fallout, so why not Metro?"
