Whats the point?

I bought this game after trying single player demo and loved it as did my friend. We try to play together but i find myself getting bored due to the lack of challenge. How come you can't die in multiplayer and since i can re-spawn infinite times, what's the point?

To put at the highest setting and overload the freaking % at 400% and enjoying the freaking hellfest!
The classic serious sam was like that ...



And BTW you can made custom setting and choose maximum life and other stuff like that! But watch-out! Sometime its getting too much serious! Just sayin'

I find it extremely fun at serious difficulty, infinite ammo and with a 10/20% increase of enemies at every player that joins.
The point of the coop mode is to have fun, not to win, but as Evanescence said, you can set a number of max lives.

Thanks for the awnsers, i felt like an idiot when you told me i could set lives, how did i miss that.

I guess its just preference i don't find games with infinite lives fun. I was just playing thinking why bother picking up health packs when i can't die anyway. Also when massive hordes turned up the fact i could just stand there if i wanted and shoot until they were dead, safe in the knowledge they couldn't hurt me so to speak. It just took the edge off a little for me, like i say its a preference thing and i guess i just don't get it, but im enjoying it now with lives turned on.

Thanks

Well there always be problems in coop modes on all games, because every player likes to play it in different ways. I personally hate when people just runs through maps (speedrun) without waiting their mates, but that's just because I like it that way, I can understand why they do that.

Anyway, Croteam added something to try and prevent that in the form of score. Whenever someone dies, you'll lose 10000 points from the total score, so lowering your chances to get higher up on leaderboards. I don't personally care about leaderboards but just to have fun, but that's something.

In TSE they have added a new coop mode, the coin-op mode, which gives players a limited amount of lives after then you'll only be able to spectate the game.
That should really limit players going on their own and increase teamplay, though you'll always find people who don't care about it and just waste all their lives by running ahead and spawning all enemies then leaving the game and leaving you with 300 kleers to kill :/

So I think that's why they added an infinite lives option, because you never know who you're playing with :)

Anyway don't feel like an idiot. Many of us didn't see that difficulty level customization option until heard about it on forums. I guess that most of us just don't look at the help text on the bottom of the screen lol.
