The incentive towards co-op play got thinner as we extracted the target and headed back outside to our transport. As we rolled down the road to our next objective, gunfire broke out and enemies dotted verandas, hunkered down behind cover, and took fire from all angles. While harrowing, and quite technically impressive, the concept of cooperative play seemed lost in the mix. Sure, we were fighting together towards our next objective, but other than that, where was the mutual dependency?

Given the demo’s difficulty, we didn’t make it much further than halfway through, with a gunfight continuing as we lurched through the streets of a Middle Eastern city (not for lack of trying, I assure you). It’s possible that the mission becomes more focused on cooperative play as it progresses, but what we played could’ve been ripped from any part of the game’s single-player campaign. Was it fun? Sure! It’s still Battlefield, right? While running between destructible cover, spotting enemies (now available in some of the campaign, apparently), and sniping from afar, I was having a great time.

But I wasn’t having an experience based in co-op. The closest we came was alerting each other to various snipers in the balconies above the street, or when one of us was downed, the other had to help revive that person. Perhaps I’d be more forgiving had I not played the direct competition’s parallel mode just a day prior, but for me — a fan of both series — it was clear which game’s co-op was built around co-op and which wasn’t. I have no doubt that Battlefield 3 will be a great game when it arrives this October, just don’t expect its co-op to rattle Spec Ops from the leader’s chair just yet.

Gamasutra yesterday got the publisher to confirm and clarify an earlier report of limited availability. “We are limiting launch quantities of Star Wars: The Old Republic to ensure players have a smooth and high quality game experience and service at launch,” an EA spokesperson told Gamasutra. “All versions of the game — physical and digital — are available for pre-order on a limited basis only. Once they are gone, they are gone.”

What this will mean, effectively, is that digital downloads over EA’s Origin service will be shut off. Physical copies, if you can get your hands on one, are still good after the digital shutoff.

Last month we heard rumors that pre-orders of the MMO would be capped at 500,000, with only the first 50,000 of them guaranteed, the rest queued in a prioritized waiting list.

MMOs can be victims of their own success, as past experiences have shown. In 2009, a “head start” program promising early access to Aion was overwhelmed by more than 400,000 preorders, leading to queue times stretching past seven hours. In February, Rift saw a similar situation, scrambling to add capacity after early-access users battled wait times of three hours before launch.

Star Wars: The Old Republic is due for a holiday 2011 launch.
