This is going back a long time but there used to be a game called Zombies ate my neighbors. Cooperative play where you and a friend took on hordes of the living dead (and giant babies)...haha. IMHO, cooperative play with friends, is the most fun. Player vs. player is cool too but there is always someone who just dominates out of your group of friends and after a while every one gets bored b/c they know that "Bob" or "Frank" is the best, they can't beat them and there is no point in playing if your just going to loose. No one likes to loose.
Cooperative play on the other hand does not suffer from the aforementioned draw back. Everyone, regardless of skill in your friend group is working together, instead of against each other. This results in more laughs and longer replay values as no one is getting POed at each other and quitting.
So my question is: Where are these types of cooperative style games for the pc? Off the top of my head I can think of L4D and KF. And if I was being specific, since KF doesn't have a cooperative story mode I guess I'm just down to L4D. Any games I'm missing...that have cooperative story modes that are really fun...let me know.
Relatedly I saw that Sega is doing another Aliens vs. Predator game. Personally I think that would be a really good concept for cooperative multiplayer story mode. I can see my buddies and I as 4 or 5 lone colonial marines (with team speak built in of course) taking down the alien colony or as a group of blood thirty aliens running down some ventilation shafts in search of our prey. Does anyone know if this game has cooperative story mode??
