Co-Op too easy?

[Credge]

the battlefield series is the new Coop on a bigger scale. creating a squad with a few buddies and taking on a flank is much a coop as a Kane and Lynch or GoW. BF2 is scrimage as K&L is campaign.

COOP stops once you begin fighting other people, although if the AI in BF2 was worth anything then that would most certainly be a game I still played with my friends.

I don't know how much easier it is. In come cases it's actually harder, depending on who you're playing with.

"Alright, before we move onto the next area I'd like to take a few seconds to teach you the basics of left and right."

Most the time I'm not looking for challenge when I play co-op, just fun. I usually only play co-op once I've finished the solo campaign. It's just an excuse to hang out with a friend and laugh at each other. A degree of challenge gets added when you're laughing at each other so much and goofing off that you're making mistakes.

Yeah, I went from dufus to king of the hill while you were taking a break for something (The first part of The Ark in Halo 3 when the Hunters arrived for everyone else). What made it worse was we had to finish for the night and do it all over again the next day.

I think what best summed it up was what I said on the last night upon finishing Halo, the final Warthog Run as the ring explodes round us: "Oh crap, this is on Legendary isn't it?". We'd had so much fun beating into the levels it hadn't occurred to us (well me at least).

I would also say that sometimes it depends on the game as well. Halo 3 has a lot of checkpoints and unless you're playing with the gold skull that forces restarting the level you're pretty safe for respawning. All co-op means is that you get an extra chance to avoid going through the whole process.

Thinking about it a bit more though and why shouldn't co-op be easier? You might be facing the same opponents but there's two minds facing them. The human element plays a big factor.

Halo 3 four player co-op needs a mention. I burned through the campaign on legendary to help 3 of my friends (who are less than amazing at campaign mode) but it was so simple, we never checkpointed back once (even on the Cortana level) and I wasn't even playing at my best.

Even though it wasnt difficult I'll be damned if it wasn't more fun than solo.

If you think COOP is easy i think you will like Left4Dead.

I have heard alot about this Left4Dead game around here but have no idea what it is. Anyone fill me in?

Sure thing.

It's an up to 4 player (hence the 4 in the title) coop game run by the Source engine. It will also support more than 4 players, depending on the mode. Some modes will pit four players against both human and AI controlled zombies... with the zombies being AI controlled and the more difficult monsters being player controlled (with each player controlling a different type of monster, all with their own unique abilities and attributes).
