Am I the only one who likes playing Co-op with mates against the CPU? I see that console games still get co-op in a lot of the new games but when it comes to the PC format, a lot of the time you just have the multiplayer mode and thats it. I've enjoyed some good times playing Operation flashpoint (despite its flaws) and No one lives forever in the past, but I can't remember the last good co-op game I played on the PC after that.

What do you think? May be I'm wrong and i've missed a bundle of great co-op games on the PC?
 
Wikipedia (sorry):

Multiplayer Gameplay
  • PC will feature 32 player (16 vs 16) in addition to the 256 squad members (8 per squad per player)
  • PC will have 8 player Co-op
  • Consoles will have 8 player (4 vs 4) in addition to squad members
  • Consoles will have 2 player Co-op
Please note: Campaign co-op is available along with single mission co-op for both PC and consoles


Armed Assault 2 looks quite good too actually. I saw a developer walkthrough on that Playr game show on Bravo. The graphics look very polished and very up to date. The gameplay looks similar along with animations which is both good and bad for me. Looking forward to playing both games though :D

Nothing wrong with that :)
I think it can have a different atmosphere to deathmatch/competitive play, which in some ways feel a bit 'scary'. You can't chat to each other and share strategies/ideas etc. When I went round a mate's house to play Doom2 over serial cable, we spent maybe 2hrs playing deathmatch but then like 8hrs playing co-op.

I played doom as well but with 2 PS1s haha. My mate brought his over and we'd hook up another TV from downstairs. We had a tactic on co-op where i would shoot the enemies from behind while my mate knuckle dusted them from the front.

I've also mentioned past experiences playing Sven Co-op in other HL related threads. That mod was very good but I'm annoyed the developers didn't bring it to source.
 
Anyone play Starfleet Command? Played a few of those games with and against my mates. 3 or 4 of you against a huge borg cube was good fun. Wish they'd make an updated game with amazing graphics. I mean you could just focus on the models of the ships considering the background is just black space.

Speaking of games they should bring up to date; how about Mechwarrior?
