Please, list all your favourite cooperative multiplayer games. Preferably internet multiplayer. No MMO games or any other pay per play games, please.

Bogotron · 29-Mar-2003, 16:04

Ghost Recon is my favourite. I've only played it on LAN though, so I don't know how good it handles higer latencies than what a gig-lan gives you.

BRiT · 29-Mar-2003, 17:17

In the beginning there was always Doom/Heretic/Hexen. The Serious-Sam series is a blast on a local lan. Even after all this time, I'm still partial to Diablo I/II and Starcraft. Most of my friends are partial to WarCraft 3.

pcchen · 29-Mar-2003, 18:46

Neverwinter Nights is my favorite.

Saem · 29-Mar-2003, 19:20

Thanks for the suggestions so far.

The group that I play with have played Diablo 1 and 2, NWN, starcraft and WCIII and Serious Same to death.

I played Ghost recon on a 10mb lan, it was lots of fun, but that's due to the fact that we were all there and talking to each other me thinks. I guess voice comm would help.

Anything else?

PS. I did SS2 cooperatively as well, until DX9 screwed up the multiplayer.

Crusher · 29-Mar-2003, 19:20

Icewind Dale was fun over a LAN, but the network code wasn't impressive even at that speed, so I have doubts about it's internet abilities. I think System Shock 2 had co-op patched into it, but I haven't tried it. Would be an excellent game for it, though.

Saem · 29-Mar-2003, 19:22

I'm trying to pitch darkstone too the group as well, but the graphics, sound and game play seem rather dated in that game.

BRiT · 29-Mar-2003, 20:31

Darkstone was a fun game for co-op multiplayer in it's time. The graphics may seem a bit dated, but just crank the resolution and up the quality settings in the control panel.

Saem · 29-Mar-2003, 20:42

How does one crank the resolution? There is no setting for that in game.

BRiT · 29-Mar-2003, 20:48

Hrm. I thought there was a choice between two resolutions. Memory must be failing on me. If there isn't resolution choice then only option is to crank the AA/AF/MIP to maximum.

bystander · 29-Mar-2003, 23:18

Codename : Outbreak is a good candidate for some multiplayer coop action.

Saem · 29-Mar-2003, 23:21

I truned up AF/AA/MIP on my 8500 retail. It looks really clean now.

Funny thing is that the text more readable thanks to the AA, LoL!

Ozymandis · 30-Mar-2003, 00:04

Diablo/DII were awesome in co-op.

Nappe1 · 09-Apr-2003, 00:16

from my list:
Settlers III and Settlers IV

hopefully Settlers V (or Settlers 3D) whenever it's finished.

Saem · 09-Apr-2003, 00:37

I'll have to look into the settlers series, I hear it's pretty good, but I've never had a chance to see it in action.

Snyder · 09-Apr-2003, 14:19

System Shock 2!!! Real fun in coop...

Rodéric · 09-Apr-2003, 15:27

I heard Battlefield 1942 is a great multiplayer game.

Investigating the case, looks like it's really cool

3dcgi · 09-Apr-2003, 16:36

Baldur's Gate : Dark Alliance for consoles.

Saem · 09-Apr-2003, 17:37

We're spread apart, it would take many moons to get to any one person's place. Besides, we're not down with consoles.

McElvis · 09-Apr-2003, 18:53

My friends and I now mostly play Homeworld / Cataclysm, Diablo 2, Age of Mythology. But our favorite at the moment is Operation Flashpoint. A superb multi-player game, especially with 3 players all in one tank (driver, gunner, commander)!

'Back in the days', we were addicted to Starcraft. I could not even begin to count the amount of hours we played on this!

BoddoZerg · 09-Apr-2003, 20:29

No fun unless you have a big big group. (Most of the maps are made for 30 people on a side)

Randell · 14-Apr-2003, 10:35

Op Flash - most SP missions can be played co-operativley in MP, and a ton are available for download specifically.

BF:1942 desert combat mod, but again best online than a LAN due to the scale.

kars · 22-Apr-2003, 11:43

NOLF2 has a separate mini-campaign for cooperative play.
