Xbox Doom3 to have co-op

[Grave]

Doom 1 and 2 both had co-op. Shit, they were my first PC co-op games, and they fucking rocked. Split screen can eat my ass.

And if Doom 3 PC has no co-op, then it can, too.

You know, after growing up on Doom, I just realized something that made me really uncomfortable.

I have never played Doom 2 co-op. Hours and hours of deathmatch, yes, but... never co-op.

I need to do something about this immediately.

And still, when I finally do build another x86 machine, it'll probably run Doom 3 well, but I have no desire to keep upgrading this machine with new video cards every few years just to keep playing high poly count games at high resolutions with framerates higher than the human eye can detect. I'd much rather play the console version that I know (or, well, hope) is going to work right every time. Computer games don't really interest me that much anymore.

... I bet there'll be a co-op mod for the PC version within months...

[edit] whoops, just read Lhadatt's post...

Hurray! now the fact that I will only be able to paly this game on XBOX doesn't seem so bad anymore...

I now prefer to play FPS games in the same room as people I'm up against or playing co-op with. [...] XBL compatibility would be too awesome to exclude.

Um, huh?

[...] at high resolutions with framerates higher than the human eye can detect.

And yet the game you said spoiled you has a framerate low enough that anyone can tell it's slow. Besides, higher resolution and higher framerates do improve the actual gameplay, but if the cost-to-quality ratio isn't worth it to you, then whatever.

No, it's really not. And yeah, Halo's framerate was nothing to write home about, but it didn't bother me that much.

And just because I prefer to play with the people there doesn't mean I don't want to play online, too. These things are not mutually exclusive.

They could remove death match and give that to the Xbox version as well and the PC would still be the only way to go.

I'm sure id Software appreciates the damage control, but the PC version will sell just fine regardless of co-op support. Keeping wishing upon a star, though, and don't forget to get a custom paintjob on your PC for the next LAN party.

Why the hell would they exclude co-op play from the PC version? It seems companies have been neglecting how much better a game can benefit from co-op on the PC these days, hardly anybody incorporates it anymore. No One Lives Forever 2 had it and it was a hell of a lot of fun.
