Not a good sign. Usually games that are to have multiplayer in the first place then during development have it removed end up not having much of a mp at any point in time. I remember this happened to T-72. I will buy the game if they can guarantee Multiplayer addon, me and bunch of my friends been waiting for this game forever but our main reason was coop multiplayer that we read about in old previews.
I remember since 2004, multiplayer was promised to be in the game with coop modes available. Now I find out its not even part of the game anymore? What's up?
