No co-op for Call of Duty: Black Ops' campaign

There doing what MW2 is doing - Single Player Campaign, Spec Ops (4 player co-op) and Multiplayer. I'd speculate that they have some Horde Mode type game but not zombies which will be part of Spec-Ops. I think they should have kept 4 player campaign.

I heard they're making a seperate campaign for co-op, kinda like in SC Conviction. If that's the case, i'm not gonna complain.

I'm not here to comment on this particular post ... but SCREW THE HUGE DAMN MW2 RESURGENCE MAP PACK AD THAT'S TAKING OVER THE WHOLE FRONT PAGE!

Well, there's always Halo Reach, that'll have cooperative campaign, you can bet on it.

co-op (at least split screen) didn't work very well for W@W

If they can come up with something that's on-line co-op, like Resistance 2's idea, then that might be something really cool. But yeah, otherwise, no big deal.

Why do they choose to follow IW's example now, of all times??

I enjoyed W@W's co-op campaign (and zombie mode), and is what helped differentiate them from IW's titles and finally have a viable CoD of their own. Why they'd take half of that away is beyond me.

Let's hope they don't borrow too heavily from MW2's multiplayer...

Just more evidence that they are using an outdated engine, outdated netcode, and are simply trying to cash in on all the sheep that will buy this game.

Call of Duty is lagging behind the times, every Halo game has had co-op, even Perfect Dark on the N64 had co-op.

I too share strong feelings about this. Eh not really I couldn't give less of a rat's ass about this game or Treyarch.

I was excited about this when they mentioned vietnam...
now I realize that it'll probably only be a level maybe two.

I'm not that interested in it anymore. (might pick it up as a pre-owned)

GIVE US A FULL BLOWN VIETNAM GAME YOU TOOLS!!

/end caps rant :D

No campaign co-op but it has a seperate co-op mode. Cool, because there's no need to be so needy and picky and bitchy. I haven't played a CoD online since CoD 2. The single player experience is worth it enough for me. The environment and set pieces and action are awesome. I don't care about the engine needing updated and what not. I still play Elevator Action on the NES so nothing is outdated to me.

Also, with the co-op being seperate, this could be a great thing for those hungry for some zombies. Maybe since it's seperate, they can include zombies without having to include them in the single player experience. The co-op part can be as crazy and outlandish as they want without worrying about tarnishing the single player campaign.

Popular or not, I always have and always will enjoy these games. They're great and I have a such a great gaming experience with them. I can't wait for E3.

Another game that did coop great was splinter cell conviction.

Didn't the co-op experience in W@W feel watered down for anyone else? I mean, it didn't even include all the levels, just select ones. If there was ANY level I wanted to play in that game cooperatively it was the Black Cats level. I just don't see why you would get so sour over an experience that is/can be potentially marred by tacking on co-op just for the hell of it. I would personally enjoy a fully fledged, separate co-op campaign much more than just having the option to play the single player with friends. Splinter Cell: Conviction anyone? That is how you integrate a co-op experience into a game like that... you make it a different experience.
Don't get me wrong, I enjoyed playing the campaign with friends, but as soon as I/we discovered Nazi Zombies, that co-op option collected the proverbial dust. Besides, who can HONESTLY say that they dumped more hours into the co-op campaign of W@W when there was the brilliance that is Nazi Zombies? You lie.
Gears of War is a completely different beast. That campaign was DESIGNED to have co-op, there is a difference. Those are deeper characters with a story and plenty of rich backgrounds. Much better and more fun to play as Dom than as "Player 2" or "Soldier 2", dontchya think?

COMMIE ZOMBIES.

Eugh, MW2's co-op 'feature' sucked massive testicles. I want a game I can play with someone sitting next to me that doesn't consist of a bunch of quickly conceived, poorly implemented 'missions'; is that too much to ask?

Treyarch even copies the responses of IW now? IW said the same thing about MW2's lack of co-op.

I was really hoping for co-op but without it I don't know what the point is to actually buying this one. World at War was COD 4 with WWII skins and this one will more than likely be the same using MW2 as it's base.

without cod and halo, what is left?? so keep feeding me both,, for multiplayer, there is really nothing else

If there's no dedicated servers I'm not buying...

What is with these devs removing co-op from games in lieu of a story or "cinematic experience"? I had a great cinematic experience playing through Halo 3 with my pals. At the end, I was at the wheel of the Warthog and I literally felt like their lives depended on me! And when we made that final jump, the cheers into the mics marked one of the best gaming experiences of my life! Treyarch, I'm gonna shoot you straight: trash your story that's going to be pointless anyway and stick co-op back in or your're going to miss out on profit.

I never really played CoD:WaW's coop, mainly because I was busy with Nazi Zombies. Only reason I bought the game. As long as Black Ops has some sort of Zombie mode ('Nam Zams!) I will be happy. Oh, and Treyarch, if you're listening, release more Zombie maps for Black Ops in a SEPERATE map pack! I hated paying $10 for only one zombie map I would play.

So, imma take a guess at how this is going to go down. The game is going to be 8 hours long and incomplete, but will come with zero day DLC for the "complete" (bullshit) experience. Then every three months release some other DLC, which is not total bullshit because its not like its day zero and had content purposefully withheld from us to get out our every last dime despite the fact that I just bought an incomplete game for $60. Amidonrite?

of course there going to zombies half there sales will go down if they dont put zombies
