It's his thing. Kinda like pedophiles and playgrounds. See.

...Or like giving a chronic masturbator access to the internet. He just can't help myself, I MEAN himself, HIMSELF!

[Gemini-Phoenix]

It must be some kind of viral disease going around this forum - Nobody can stay on topic! Than you for spamming this rather interesting thread and letting us know about your peadophile / masturbation tendencies...

This thread was actually aimed at people who can actually afford the game, and not scratchers who can barely afford a pre-owned GameCube...

So, any people out there who actually do have this game, please offer your constructive opinions.

[atomicthumbs]

Well... I do own the game. Well... No, I haven't heard of the two player mode. Well... I do like the taste of Spam. Well... I have a rare disease called poseronboyhumoridus, that keeps me from staying on topic. Well... You hurt my feelings.

Well... What the hell is that supposed to mean? Daddy own a car dealership?

If there is a two-player mode, you would be the LAST person, aside from PoserOnBoy, that I would want to play it with.

Since this thread has already gone to hell in a handbasket, let me add just one more tidbit.

Who cares its not nintendo!

Why do you care about Nintendo so much, if you think it's "teh suck", as evidenced by your signature? Methinks something's screwed with your logic.

Excuse me, Neonsolid... why are you using this alternate ID?

[sisko]

Is this even possible?

The tech manual states that you shouldn't have more than one SB controller plugged in at a time.......

[Gemini-Phoenix]

Ah, I think you should read the manual again... It actually says more than TWO which is a huge clue for a start...

You kinda get thinking to yourself "Now why would they say that? Why would one want to connect more than one for that matter..." and then it hits you - A two player mode!


Now up till now I have only given you half of the story... I actually own two Steel Battalions, so I gave this theory a go, and sure enough, there is indeed a secret two player mode which only becomes apparent after connecting up two controllers!

Now Capcom probably wanted to keep this a secret for as long as possible (For reasons I don't know) but is probably one of the best kept secrets since the cheat codes to Goldeneye! (You know, they said for years that there weren't any, and then suddenly they appeared after the N64 was announced dead!)

But anyway, that's as much info i'm going to give you for now... If you want to know more then I suggest you all go and buy a second controller and figure it out for yourself...

BUSTED! You sneaky little Hobbit!

Anyway, about the Steel Battalion, I don't even know anyone else who has one near me so there's no way to try it out (and my daddy isn't rich). I do remember somebody else here having two sets (from his/her Room of Doom pics / Tips and Tricks highlight). THAT would be someone to ask (unless they too are an assclown). I would, but I don't really exist.

If you already know about it, why not explain it us uninitiated folks who don't? The whole point of this website is about sharing videogame knowledge, after all.

Or do you just like thinking you're special and 1337 because you've spent a shitload of money buying 2 sets of expensive controllers for a not-particularly-great game?

Secret = undocumented?

(You know, they said for years that there weren't any, and then suddenly they appeared after the N64 was announced dead!)

Huh? I found cheat codes - button codes, not the page of cheats - on the Internet quite a while before Majora's Mask came out for the system. Wasn't really quite "dead" then.

You work for Capcom?

[SegaAges]

i still haven't even found a 2-player icon on gta:sa and i play that game constantly.

is this 2-player mode supposed to support 2 of those super big joysticks, or is it 1 joystick and a regular controller?

now thats an ignorant comment

this forum is all about sharing info and you refuse to tell us

why bother bringing this up at all

all this post was is a braging post that you "supposedly" own two copies of a $200 game......if i really wanted to i could easily go out and buy 3 copies of this game right now...i dont want to though

but, i am interested in more info / screenshots about this "2 player mode"

if you have info, share it and back it up....or dont bother

Seriously.

While I am intrigued about the concept, I'm not going to go shell out another $200 because you're too righteous to explain something you clearly know quite a bit about.

Alright...

I have a second controller...Though I've never opened it and I'm not looking to..


Where do you see the in the Manual ((((It actually says more than TWO))
In the big Controllers Manual or the Games manual..?
I can't find nothing..Please direct me to a certain page where to look and I'll scan it..Post it here..


So...... the secret two player mode is it Co-op or.....????

How does this look on screen..?

[Gemini-Phoenix]

Ok, firstly I am not some twat 14 year old kid who's daddy is a rich car dealership owner... I am 23 and make my own money.

Yes, I do think I am special because I have discovered something which, to my knowledge, I am the first to discover (Outside of Capcom that is)

I have searched all over the internet, and no where have I ever seen anyone else who has discovered this, so I do believe I am that special person!

I won't tell you anymore, as I have told you far too much as it is. I am still in the process of contacting Capcom to find out if I am indeed the first person to have discovered this! Obviously if Nintendo come up with some new technology, they ain't gonna blab about it before they patent it are they!



As for where in the manual it says not to connect two controllers...

It doesn't say in the booklet which actually comes inside the game case, so you have to refer to the huge booklet which is in the box with the controller...

It clearly says at the very top of page 2:

"Do not plug more than 2 Steel Battalion controllers into the same Xbox unit"

They are the exact words printed as they appear. They are at the very top of page 2 and can't be missed!


And you want me to share something with you? Ok then, how's this - A custom three colour Steel Battalion controller for your gaming pleasure! This baby sure is impressive in the dark!

[Six Switch]

Has anyone else tried this out?Next time my friend is over I guess I will try.

So you just plug into two controllers...and then what?
