Relaying a question from a friend of mine:

Since this thing is co-op, are servers going to be needed or will it all be hosted locally on a players machine?

While I personally don't think 2 player-only servers would work out, I still think it's a fair question. Perhaps if servers are needed - PC-wise, at least - they could be like TF2 MGE Mod servers: Allowing more than 2 players max, but hosting multiple Co-Op games at the same time? It certainly would be interesting - and fun - for gaming communities.

Watch this video.
...If you dare find the answer.

It's somewhere in there.

If it is peer to peer then I damn well hope you don't have to forward your ports to be able to host with eachother.

You'll be able to create local servers like in Alien Swarm.

this interviewer should be at some festival interviewing really bad alternative bands.
Not finding more information about portal 2.
although the questions he asked were informative.

Anyone know more about this? I too am really hoping it's not peer to peer. I never have problems with lobbies on Alien Swarm or Left 4 Dead (even local lobbies), but with a game like MW2, it's nigh-impossible to play co-op games, and multiplayer takes forever to find a lobby.

So bump for info, it is greatly wanted
