Effectiveness of what? You do this all the time. Make a comment and never explain it.

There's no co-op option for making maps yet, they're adding it in a few months.

I don't believe you can design co-op maps with the editor yet. I suppose you could design them with Hammer and then upload them to the workshop but I don't think you'll be seeing co-op maps officially on the workshop until the built-in editor supports them.

Thanks for the info guys! I just assumed because I've seen co-op maps on thinkingwithportals.com that the Steamworkshop would have them on release...well you know, that and the fact that co-op was a pretty big part of Portal 2! Oh well, i shall wait :)

I am the ellipsis: personified!


I am sceptical to how decent this DLC will work out…
