Indeed, the STALKER series would be great with co-op.
I recall Armored Core For Answer having co-op. Very few missions need it, and even then, with the proper build and decent evasive skill, one can do it alone and get the highest rank.mechjunky said:

I thought Dragon Age seemed like it was supposed to have some sort of coop element to it.
My favorite co op games this gen were probably Borderlands & Saints Row 2 but Portal 2 is sneaking up on them, I'll let you know when I'm done.
I'm not sure what platform you're talking about but L4D 2 has splitscreen online on the xbox, I play it all the timeEscapingReality said:
I wouldn't mind having co-op in ME either though not multiple Shepards.Mcmuffin said:
i would work it like this (click spoiler for long answer).
the MP would be dedicated servers (similar to Gears of war's layout for public games) you'd choose MP and then it asks you if you want to start a new game (and thus create a new shepard) or load a game. at this point you make your Shep and then enter the lobby screen, up to two people can join up, and when you've got your team you start the game.
Host will always be shepard while the other two can choose which crew member they want to take whenever shepard leaves the Normandy (while in the Normandy the other two player see what the hosts sees). and in conversations the host can either set the lobby to either "host makes choices" where host makes all the choices or "choice voting" where each player can vote on an option (result of a tie goes with a random player).
for the single character parts of the game depending on the length of the section it will either be like inside the normandy for the other players in the short sections while the long sections would be replaced with some extra cutscenes to explain how the players got from A to C without playing B.
for example in the begining of ME2 the players will play the destruction of the Normandy but will skip the tutorial section of the medical lab attack (part before joining Jacob) where player 2 will join in and then player three when they meet that guy they save (the miranda stand in).

Short Answer: Co-op only, no competitive.
I know the graphics are outdated, but Baldur's Gate 1 and 2 could have LAN multiplayer.kayisking said:
Seeing as any old laptop could play them these days, I'd recommend that to you
Up to six players then as well.
Might give you the experience your looking for ^_^
You know, thats not the first time someone recommended me that game but I tried to get in to it and it was just too hard. I know its suppossed to be a lot like Dragon Age but I have only been gaming for the last 7 years and games have changed a lot since 1998 (when Bauldurs gate was released). If someone would teach me I would happily try it again but I know nobody in real life who plays RPG's.Canadish said:I know the graphics are outdated, but Baldur's Gate 1 and 2 could have LAN multiplayer.kayisking said:

Ahh, I understand.

I could only make sense of it after I learned the rules for D&D a few years later.
It's a good game, but its not friendly to new players.

To all the people who would like to see co op in STALKER (I am one, dont worry):
Do NOT bring it up on the STALKER GSC game world forums. Too many people have suggested it, and the board isnt actually watched by them. Also, we/they (havent been on in a while) will say that its impossible due to the engine limitations... blah blah blah.

As some people have mentioned, Bulletstorm. The mechanics for Co-op play are there in the game for the Horde mode and as far as I remember you always have one person with you at least, it would maybe need altering in some way so that the second player could see what Ishi or Trishka are doing but I think it would work well.
Can't think of any other specific titles at the moment, but, if done right, I'm finding it hard to think of many games that Co-op wouldn't be a good addition to, I am currently playing System Shock 2 in Co-op and it hasn't really ruined the atmosphere, in fact, it is MORE scary! ...Because the low polycount models of the characters look just as monstrous as the enemies perhaps but that is besides the point.
