What If Movie Battles 2 had a CO-OP Mode ?

Published 2024-06-17
Hey guys, I recently came up with the idea of trying co-op KOTOR maps with friends, and our very first test was fun, so I decided to try it on Onderon. Most NPCs are super buggy, but it's still a real challenge to complete the mission in less than 5 minutes.
I made this video to gauge interest in further developing this concept. It might be boring to watch, but at least you'll understand the idea. Feel free to comment your thoughts and opinions.

    Tbagging on the non sentient AI is crazy
  • Tbh, a co-op mode would be fun. I've always wanted Jedi Academy co-op to be a thing because of the funny potential. This is close enough. In MB2's case you could have co-op missions based on events from the series like how the maps are usually based on important things from the movies and games. Definitely has potential as a concept.

    Bro outdueled 2 Sith Masters and died to AoE on the floor, wiping the raid lol. But cool to see new tech being added to the game.

    damn I've wanted something like this for YEARS, amazing idea!
  • We need to make Omlette Prince into NPC bossfight, but instead of fighting, he constantly runs away

    I love the concept. Time to rebuild Kotor in a MB2 co-op campaign, looting footlockers get you more MB2 points for your build. That said might be easier to start with a horde mode on a more closed in map. Though it depends on how NPCs work in JKA. Been a long time since I looked at it but I seem to recall bot routes needing to be setup which would complicate NPC's going on the offense or moving around in general other then mindless charging. For a test map, maybe something like Mygeeto, long linear, might be best. Maybe Leviathan or Star Forge could work if you want to stick with the Kotor theme?

    gogo cocker here, I loved this style of play, it was the most creative so far in movie battles 2, and there is a great expanded universe in this medium, so much so that we could do a version of CO-OP with the Jedi temple, against the clones of 501st and Anakin himself alongside the Grand Inquisitor (there would also be Jedis who fell to the dark side when starting the Knightfall operation).
  • I opened a thread in 2018 on the Movie Battle's official forum some people liked the idea of making it possible but we haven't the knowledge to make it true, I expect you can make it now. I keep playing from time to time and i'm still wanting to prove that co-op you have here.
  • We appreciate that you made this experiment in MB2, co-op mode would be more fun It felt like playing SWTOR in MB2 style, maybe adding ahealer role to a player to help other player would make it more fun If it was possible to make movies in MB2, I would certainly do it But there are not enough actors to do it sadly 😂 I wish this was possible

    it's a dream come true to play with friends.. BOB PLEASE MAKE IT HAPPEN
  • I think it's a cool idea, I'd probably play this! I was talking to some players recently about an idea like this. People seem to like the idea of adding bots, not just in coop, but in normal multiplayer matches if possible. Like in Battlefront, it could be a lower stress way to play and practice the game at times and would help with lower pop servers.
  • @Eyes0nmyPalms
    Amazing idea!! It seems like more small battles going on room-to-room makes the map feel bigger too.
  • @goosh1338
    love the idea, have always wanted player vs ai in mb2, really glad to see you dabbling in it billy.
  • Ice Crown Citadel 25 man raid in MB2 now doesn't seem as far of a stretch! Love the concept btw
  • Very interesting idea. I've always enjoyed a good co-op experience and MMOs besides. Could be a lot of fun as a sort of FA-adjacent mode
  • @storm3733
    Always wanted a COOP mode, this is awesome!
  • @klahklahh3408
    Seems great even in its testing/buggy state ^^ can't imagine what it could look like after more polishing
  • @bluespy4
    This is fun! Would like to play these Kotor maps again in MB2 style
