Looking for a COOP game in a similar vein to Rainbow six ravenshield/Hidden & dangerous

Divinious · 19 Nov 2012 at 11:40

The header says it all really, I miss the good old days of lugging my machine round a mates house for some COOP/MP tactical action, games like Rainbow six RS, The original Ghost Recon's, Swat & Hidden & dangerous were all great games I never tired of playing, FPS games have lost their way IMO ditching tense but slower paced tactics for run & gun all action shooters.
Any ideas?

Sven Co-op, it's a Half Life mod and it's awesome.

ghost recon advanced warfighter 1+2

the coop in these games is great, proper hard difficulty, I remember playing graw 1 coop with mates and we really struggled and we're all dab hands at fps.

Agreed both still grace my hard drive though not played for ages, how we got from those classics to the *** poor showing the last GR game boogles my mind!

I take it you've played Rainbow Six Vegas?

Kosmiche · 19 Nov 2012 at 12:54

Swat 4 was good but you mentioned swat in your op so I'm guessing you will have played it.

Yeah I loved that game! I may have to check for some mods that update the graphics

Splinter Cell: Conviction has some fun co-op... you can do the whole campaign plus some mini games.

... if you can get it working.

Is that two player COOP only?

Yeah, the separate story campaign follows two agents (Kessler and Archer or something along those lines) - it's short but well worth it. If you can co-ordinate well with your partner it's great

Thanks Nim may try & source a copy

Raven Shield was awesome in co-op, spent so much time on that with clan mates, same goes for swat 4, excellent.

Totally agree such great games, it's sad that what passes for a tactical shooter nowadays is either 3rd person cover shooters or run & gun blasters where the extent of the tactical gameplay seems to be picking a loadout, I swear some genre's of games are devolving.

They are certainly going down, you think what those games had, doors! yes doors, doors you could open, open a little, open all the way and everywhere between. underarm nades, realistic bullet damage, a slow thought out pace.

Room clearouts with 4+ people were great, nades/frashbangs and go, such teamwork and many attempts to succeed without any deaths.

RV was a close second to 5v5/6v6 mohaa/cod1-2-4 clan matches. Skill, tactics and teamwork.

Hopefully the big dev's will realise you don't need to be dragged around a film/game to have fun.

Sadly I doubt they will change anything while games like COD (not hating just an example) sell like hot cakes & games like Ground branch fail in the kickstarter appeals.

Just another vote for this. I played the campaign through on co-op with my girlfriend, and even she enjoyed it.

Divinious · 20 Nov 2012 at 11:33

I'll try this out it does sound quite interesting hopefully I can convince a mate to take the plunge as well.

Indeed.

Really do miss a good terrorist takedown coop map, just cant beat good team play. Arma 2 works to a point but just doesn't have that feel RV and swat4 had doing interior rooms clear outs.
