Poll: Co-Op

[Random Argument Man]

Ah co-op; it can make an average game great and a great game spectacular.

Yes, it can do that. However, it can also turn a great game into frustration.

I don't know why, but I hate playing anything online, unless it's with my mates.

Actually I do know why, 90% of the Xbox live community is yank 13 year olds who use every second breath to pronounce 'douche'.

That is why local co-op will always be the best.

left 4 dead style, "your fucked without em" style coop is fun.

Can you think of a game that does this without leaving every player horribly gimped?

Ah co-op; it can make an average game great and a great game spectacular, but what is your favorite style of co-op?
Note: I have space for another poll option so if you can think of a type I missed shout out.

I think i always prefer it when each character or player has something different to offer, that's not necessarily to say that they need to have different abilities etc, but when i work in a team i like to distribute tasks, ie: having a person covering you while you're defusing a bomb just makes sense. (btw this is just the most generic and easy example i could come up with.)

Counter-Strike!!!!!!!!!

I'm not into multiplayer

If everyone contributes it's more fun to work like a giant machine, instead of those selfish people that just run and take everything good.

I prefer, coop needed to win. Thus forcing people to make a bond and work together in order to accomplish a task.

I kinda like games to have the co-op with stronger enemies that make it more enjoyable to play co-op then the actual single player (Single player being good in the first place) which would require to use more teamwork to overcome obstacles and enemies

Games where Co-op forces players to work together extensively to survive or achieve a common goal provides the best experience between players, however it can also provide the worst experience when the mistakes of a single individual drags the entire team along with him.

 

[Necrofudge]

I hate most CO-OP. I tolerate most MMOs and online strategies (mostly things cooked up by Blizzard) but I hate online shooters, CO-OP shooters, etc.

If I can't beat halo on my own, why would I want to include a buddy?

As long as everyone plays nice (more along the lines of "come to where I am, there's a medpac and your health is lower than mine" than "you stole my kill, prick"), then it's all good.
If co-op makes things too easy, my mates and I will level the playing field by getting drunk.
