You are thinking right.  It is true co-op.  You can play thru the whole
single player campaign cooperatively with a buddy.  You can save the game
and pick up later just like doom also.   One thing is better though, if you
die on a level, you will start back up with everything you had when you
started the level,  so you don't have to start up with no weapons or armor.
It wasn't in the original release, it was added in one of the first patches
for the game.  As long as you are running 3.20, which you should be anyway,
the coop option is right there in the start multiplayer game menu..
