It is a skill, but not a new skill -- it just meant you needed to talk to 6 teams instead of 3.

John:

"co-op" was short for "co-op bridge" in my last post. The GDC-intended interaction with opposing teams added a unique new challenge this season to the pre-existing "art of the co-op" with alliance partners. If I was unclear, my apologies.

I believe this is the first time where such communication and interaction with opponents was so heavily promoted by the game designers and so successfully facilitated by a game dynamic.

I think a drive team interacting with 5 teams per match instead of 2 is a positive thing.
