Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2 Dev rules add 3 player cooperation restrictions, although Modders get jobs from 12 player co-ops

Warhammer 40,000: Space Navy 2 Developer Saber Interactive said that although Modders recently launched a 12-player co-op, it has no plans to add the largest party size of the three players.
Space Marine 2 limits the squad to three players for PVE operations, but hopefully this may add to the upcoming tribal mode, known as Siege.
That's not the case, Tim Willits, chief creative officer of developer Saber Interactive, Telling IGN in an exclusive Space Marine 2 interview Discuss the siege model. Willits said it would be too easy to increase the number of players to complete the operational tasks of cooperation.
“As we mentioned in past interviews, sticking with the PVE mode of the three players (including siege mode) has something to do with the challenges we are able to offer, especially the enemies, we are able to throw at you and your friends,” Wilt said.
“It's too easy to have four Space Marines perform PVE missions together, and it's too easy to expand the enemy's attacks to justify bringing a fourth player.”
Earlier this month, Tom, also known as Warhammer Workshopthe simulator behind it Excellent Astates overhaul of Space Navy 2released a 12 player co-op with a great look for the game. The game video below shows that in a battle that reminds the MMO boss battle, multiple players played the prime number of Tyrannosaurus Rex Trigon in the battle.
This is something players think is impossible, but the modification team not only broke the three-player barrier, but therefore the co-op of 12 players, but aims to improve it, not only with the support of developer Saber Interactive itself.
“Honestly, I'm in awe of Saber's support for the modification community,” Tom told IGN. “No one of us expects these 12 players to do that soon — but somehow, we're here. Thanks to their generosity and trust, this huge leap has finally come, which completely changes what we can do.”
As you would expect, the 12 player co-op is ridiculed by the PVE balance of Space Navy 2, but at least works on PC. This raises the inevitable next question for Tim Willits: Can Saber expand the siege mode to include more than three players in the future?
Alas, no. He replied: “We don't have such plans yet.”
Therefore, the modifications have been improved in the siege mode and the cooperatives of the 12 player cooperatives they have released. Tom told the IGN team that is developing patterns such as Prop Hunt, PVP internal operations, “massive” tribal model updates, and perhaps most exciting, the raid-style mission “hit the boss like a truck, do the proper teamwork, do the proper teamwork, and some other brand new mechanics.”
Siege arrives as part of Patch 8 on June 26, and comes alongside two new DLCs for Ultra Edition, Gold Edition, and Season Pass holders: the White Scars Chapter Pack (a new Champion skin for the Assault class, three exclusive White Scars-inspired weapon skins for the Occulus Bolt Carbine, Stalker Bolt Rifle, and Combat Knife, and a host of cosmetic options and heraldry markings for their Successor Chapters), and the Blood Angels Cosmetic Pack (in addition to celebrating the succession chapters of the eight Blood Angels, there are many new armor pieces available in any playable class in the game).
