I am in full agreement. I was very disappointed to find out that Nox wopuld
not be co-op, and was equally disappointed to find that Revenant would only be
co-op if I or someone else wrote the scenarios, that only Deathmatch scenarios
were included. I really annoyed me that it is very hard to set up games like
Unreal to use monsters, as well. I have never been able to start a multiplayer
game with monsters included, even though the option is present.

I'm also very disapointed with this. Thief in Co-op would be cool...

Thief coop? That kinda goes against the whole nature of thieves...

Well, sure, but thieves and gangsters are two different kinds of 
criminals... 

also not sure if Gangsters has a coop mode or not...

Any strategy game that allows cooperative victory can be played
with team work.  E.g. Alpha Centauri.

The adventure game "Zork: Grand Inquisitor", or so i recall being told,
can be played cooperatively.

Agreed.  That's why my friends and I were so addicted to the arcade game
Gauntlet back in the 80s, and now Gauntlet Legends on the N64.  Nothing is
better than having 4 friends work together to beat the living tar out of
those hordes of monsters.  Of course there are sometimes problems with the
elf (aka archer) stealing everyone's food, but that can be dealt with!  ;)

Gotta agree.  A good game with co-op is pretty much a "must buy" for
me.

Tried System Shock2 co-op?  The first shooter I _really_ had fun with
in co-op mode, because of the differentiation allowed each player.

Apparently there was a memo distributed to the majority of developers
stating that players, in fact, do not need/want cooperative play in
games. I'm unsure who circulated this memo but it seems to have made its
way to every major development house with only a few minor exceptions.


Let me clarify for any developers which may read this:

Not all gamers are serial killing 13 year olds hopped up on coca-cola
and candy bars. Some gamers actually ENJOY cooperating with other humans
against AI opponents.

When you have only deathmatch you force a situation in which you may
have one side which is massively more skilled than the other side. That
is part of the reason so many people shy away from deathmatch type
games, especially the guy who only has a few hours to play a night. Why
go get raped by a 13 year old who has 8 hours a night to play Quake3,
where is the fun in that?  With an AI opponent you can *scale* the
difficulty to make it a challenge without being too easy or impossible.

Hopefully by some act of God developers will get this memo above,
becuase right now, coop play is looking real bleak...

I refer you to CTF and other mods which exist for practically every
shooter in existence. Sure, you don't HAVE to cooperate in those mods, but
if you do it's a LOT more fun!

However, I guess you mean cooperating vs. the computer, not in team
vs. team play... yeah, I agree, that's fun. More fun in a
"campaign" setting, though; the standard "skirmish w/coop" type game gets
old REALLY fast.

I agree. Some of the most fun I've had is with a couple of strategy games
played in co-op online. Myth and Rogue Spear. Almost any mission for Myth
and Diamond Edge for Rogue Spear are the best missions to complete in co-op.
