Really, why are most FPS games with a cool single player story no longer have the coop mode?? Remember Doom II, Duke Nukem 3d and all the old middle 90' games, THEY ALL HAD A COOP MODE! And that was waayy cooler then all of today's Capture the flag, Swat vs Terrorsit, deathmatche modes that we find in every FPS games with online compatibility -_-

Timesplitters 2 has a co op mode. I don't think its coming to the PC, though.

The original did too. Not to forget halo either.

Perfect Dark, framerate was bad then though.

-_- I forgot to mention PC COOP MODE ... I know all the console have one or 2 coop mode titles, I don't give a dam about them, althought I found a few of them pretty cool, I'm just wondering why on earth did we let down that MODE in the PC FPS world????

Your right man, my favorite games are all co-op games, especially Mystical Ninja. I spent a whole friggen day online playing that with a guy over the internet with an emulator. Very fun and we beat it!

Even though I'm not a pc user I understand your frustrations. I think more games should have a co-op mode other than just FPS. That mode IS the only thing that made Halo worthwhile.

Hey, when you think about it, even tho PSO ain't a FPS, the coop mode is what made it worthwile ... how would PSO be if it was only, a "battle mode" kind of game when played online? ... I don't even want to think about it.

I think one reason co-op modes seemed to have died out on the pc is that fps' have become more story based with. If you made the game so it could be played with 2 or more people you would have to re-record voice over so they would acknowledge more then one player, and this would take time. You also have cut scenes being added and some people may get a bit fed up waiting online for a cutscene to play out.

I know alot of modders seem to make co-op mods now (The Deus Ex co-op mod was recentaly released) so maybe thats one way the pc fps population can enjoy co-op once again.

It's multiplayer co-op, but TRIBES is based on cooperation. Some must attack, some most defend, all must work together...

I was in a Tribes squad way back "in the day", then ran out and pre-ordered Tribes 2 when it was released, and my old comp could'nt handle it. Bought a new comp and haven't played it since =O

This new game I've got, Morrowind, would be absolutely fantastic if it had a co-op mode!!

If anyone here's seen or played it you'll understand why...

Yeah, Morrowind would own if it were co-op multiplayer. And I say co-op multiplayer, as in, X-box LIVE multiplayer, not split screen.

And co-op, because it would'nt be too fun playing and suddenly having your new sword that you busted your ass to find or buy be stolen by some little thug with a crossbow. I mainly used long swords and spears in that game, but I jacked my marksmanship skill up since I found some Dwemar crossbows and decided to use them. 20 damage a pop is pretty damn good at a distance.

It really would have been nice to have a co-op mode. A sworder and distance marksman or wizard(too many classes to list) would have been great.

I loved Halo co-op. I myself also like team based combat games. Counter-Strike expecially. Nothing is funner than playing back-up in that game, because they never suspect you hiding in the spawn location with a sniper rifle or desert eagle =O

*pop pop goes your teams mates head*

I seriously need a team-play game for the X-box. Turok is going to fill my bloodlust, and it's multiplayer, but I doubt it's going to be co-op like Halo =(

Hey, I think, seriously, that ANYONE that has played Morrowind started praying for a mod to come out to enjoy this game online in coop mode ... ok maybe NOT everyone; assuming SOME OF US actually work on modding the game, not pray for it to be modded http://www.pso-world.com/psoworld/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/anime1.gif

Back to the FPS thing, I think players could enjoy Halo in coop mode, I mean, the Xbox handled it right, it was fitting to see the 2 soldiers in the scene of action and well, it made sence since even in single player, you're a bunch of soldier to fight your way trough the levels.
