Title: Games with good cooperative mode ?
Post by: Col. Fishguts on August 11, 2004, 02:48:59 pm: A friend of mine and myself are searching for a good game that supports cooperative mode to play on LAN. Preferably some sort of FPS. I've heard Medal of Honor has coop-support, can someone confirm that ?

Any other (good) suggestions are welcome.

Post by: aldo_14 on August 11, 2004, 02:54:03 pm: Serious Sam was bloody good fun in coop. Not many online servers if you want to play outside of a Lan, though.

UT2004 also has co-op in a sense - both in a specific game mode (invasion - fight lots of beasties), and also simply by playing vs bots.

FS2 has a co-op main campaign lying about, IIRC.

Offhand, that's all I can think of. I never knew MoH had co-op, though.

EDIT; There's a co-op mod for Deus Ex, I think. Probably for a fair few other games, too.

Command & Conquer: Renegade

It's bloody awesome in multiplay with about 20 people(40 is even more fun, but games tend not to last long), so I don't see why it wouldn't be great in a LAN with about the same number:D

Post by: Sandwich on August 11, 2004, 05:03:31 pm: I second/third the Serious Sam First / Second Encounter recommendations - my brother and I play that co-op from time to time. Renegade's also fun in multi, but I don't know that it has co-op.

For that type of gameplay we use RtCW: Enemy Territory, but I'm not asking for good games with good multiplayer modes (have plenty of those), we're searching for something which let's you play the "campaign" in cooperative mode.

Thanks for all the suggestions so far.

Post by: .::Tin Can::. on August 11, 2004, 06:13:21 pm: Yes, Halo goes up in the list, but they have made a Beta version for a Doom III co-op MOD, and I would friggin love that.

Also, try Doom 2 on Nightmare with a buddy, and Marathon on the hardest difficulty mode together. A friend of mine did that with me, and Nightmare on Doom 2 is a real *****, but we got far before I had to leave. Cheers! (PS, we were using the enhanced Doom 2, with really neat graphical updates and new client for LAN play)

Serious Sam II is hella-fun on Serious mode with Extra enemies. Try that.

Lets see... I cant think of anything else.

Master of Orion III?

Heavens knows that multiplayer is more bugged than singleplayer, but my brother and I had a blast playing on LAN.

Not exactly co-op (unless you want to...), but it's always great madly shuffling your fleets to rescue your human ally from imminent embaressment.

On the up side, you could probably get the game ultra-cheaply.

Civ III can also get pretty crazy, in a good way.

WarCraft III is always a good choice to, again not always co-op, but great multiplayer all the same, especially on Battle.net. You can get the Battle Chest for less than $50 for sure.

Post by: Janos on August 12, 2004, 01:27:57 am: Empire Earth is pretty fun, though the games tend to last for hours. Soldat is also pretty nice.

And Phobia 2.

After reading some reviews, Serious Sam: The Second Encounter seems to be hellu'va a$$kicking fragfest...especially in coop. We'll have a try at that.

Thanks for all the other suggestions too guys. :yes:

It does if you know how to edit it... These aren't co-op, but they do show that you can do a LOT with halo... ;7 I'm sure if Reppy stopped by again, he'd have better pics, but there were taken spur of the moment:
