alanschu Posted July 20, 2005 Posted July 20, 2005 My roommate and a few of my friends love playing coop games. I was wondering what ones you guys know of. They don't have to be more than two people, but if I can play somehow through some sort of campaign mode with a friend, it usually makes the many times more enjoyable. Recent games that I have played coop are: Serious Sam (honestly one of the most enjoyable coop experiences ever) Splinter Cell 3 (an excellent take on coop mode, with the players controlling a pair of ninjas spies) Duke Nukem 3D (yes....I'll still play this one coop simply because it's coop :D) NWN IWD NOLF2 (an excellent coop mode, where you play UNITY agents that do missions parallel to what Cate has done). If something was given to Cate in a mission, it's your job to plant it there for when she comes by. If Cate has exfiltrated, then you guys go in and clean up the mess). Games on the Radar for coop are Full Spectrum Warrior, and Sven Coop 2 (not yet released) but that's about it. Any suggestions?
Llyranor Posted July 20, 2005 Posted July 20, 2005 I will recommend here my fav coop game. Soldiers: Heroes of WW2. Up to 4-player coop in a 'Commando' type of good. A good blend of 'RTS-like' gameplay mixed with a good dose of action. Kickbutt physics, an awesome cover system, very cool implementation of tanks. And very challenging. Definitely by far my fav coop game. There is a demo available, but it's pretty difficult (but gets easier once you figure out how everything works), and it's singleplayer only. But, it should give you somewhat of an idea what the full game feels like. EBgames sells it for 10 bucks US. A very good deal. I wrote a rant long ago about it last Xmas when I had just gotten the game. My impressions of it have since gone up, since I managed to get 3 buddies to buy the game. We still play coop regularly. The 3 levels of difficulty are VASTLY different - we're still stuck on medium, and we're still playing with no fog of war. We'll be playing this game for a long long time. http://community.codemasters.com/forum/sho...2101#post582101 (Approved by Fio, so feel free to use it)
LoneWolf16 Posted July 20, 2005 Posted July 20, 2005 Er...Diablo/Diablo II? I guess... I really only play cooperatively on consoles...

Jumjalum Posted July 20, 2005 Posted July 20, 2005 PCZone just did an article on the best co-op games, SWAT was definitely one of the front-runners. I'll type in the rest when I can be bothered. http://www.gamespot.com/pc/action/swat4/index.html?q=swat We now bring you live footage from the World Championship Staring Final.
alanschu Posted July 20, 2005 Author Posted July 20, 2005 I guess I should have clarified a bit. Multiplayer Coop (i.e. coop against other humans) was not something I was looking for. I'm well aware of both WoW and Guild Wars for fun team action
mkreku Posted July 20, 2005 Posted July 20, 2005 Sacred has co-op (up to 8 players I think it was). Delta Force has excellent co-op (used to play one as a sniper and one with close combat gear.. awesome). Actually, I think most of Novalogic's games have co-op: http://www.novalogic.com/gamecatalog.asp Swedes, go to: Spel2, for the latest game reviews in swedish!
alanschu Posted July 21, 2005 Author Posted July 21, 2005 Hahaha, I really enjoyed the coop in Delta Force. I played it with two friends, one was sniper, one had SAW, and one had M4 with M203. It was good fun! Another example of a medicore game becoming fun simply because coop exists.
Illunder Posted July 22, 2005 Posted July 22, 2005 This is going a bit Old Skool, but how 'bout Streets of Rage for the MegaDrive? A mate and I once spent a solid weekend playing that game back during our school days. Ahh the happy memories.
Illunder Posted July 22, 2005 Posted July 22, 2005 Sorry, wasn't being totally serious but it was a laugh at the time........back in the summer of 96 :D

metadigital Posted July 23, 2005 Posted July 23, 2005 Good question. Were there drivable vehicles in CounterStrike or the original Day of Defeat ? I suspect not, but it would be very cool if they were. OBSCVRVM PER OBSCVRIVS ET IGNOTVM PER IGNOTIVS OPVS ARTIFICEM PROBAT
alanschu Posted July 23, 2005 Author Posted July 23, 2005 I remember there being a jeepathon, but it was kind of crude. The engine didn't seem to support driving very well. But Half-Life 2 does support driving, as well as vehicles with weapons. So here's hoping!
metadigital Posted July 23, 2005 Posted July 23, 2005 "For all you Unreal Tournament fans out there, this is a must for you! Try it out right now!" (sic): Istagib: Source brings the fast-paced, adrenaline inducing and competitive game of instagib to the Half-Life 2 engine. It features not only graphical improvements, such as a shiny new weapon model and cool beam effects, but also the fun physics diversion of sending stray objects flying into the sky or at your enemies.

metadigital Posted July 28, 2005 Posted July 28, 2005 ...Duke Nukem 3D (yes....I'll still play this one coop simply because it's coop :D) ... Any suggestions? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Ooo, look what I found ... :cool: OBSCVRVM PER OBSCVRIVS ET IGNOTVM PER IGNOTIVS OPVS ARTIFICEM PROBAT
EnderAndrew Posted July 28, 2005 Posted July 28, 2005 Duke 3D's engine was released as open-source, and some people have made ports as well. I have it running on my XBox.
