    DOOM 3 Co-Op Mode

    http://xbox.ign.com/articles/497/497581p1.html


    March 09, 2004 - In an interview with GamePro, Vicarious Visions' CEO, Karthik Bala, confirmed that the Xbox version of Doom 3 will include a co-op mode. The mode will allow gamers to go through the entire single-player campaign with a buddy.

    There was no mention if this feature would be split-screen or through Xbox Live (or both), but with Doom 3 scheduled to be one of the premier Xbox Live titles, we wouldn't be surprised to see some online co-op action.

    Unfortunately, the PC version of Doom 3 will not contain this feature. We'll have more on this highly anticipated (and gorgeous!) game in the near future.

      to Co-Op mode or to id Software not making it on the PC?

      Co-Op mode is what makes games like this even more enjoyable. It was the best part in Halo by far.

        To the anti-PC stance, obviously. I used to play coop mode with my brother in the original Doom and it was quite fun.

          It's not anti-PC.

          The Xbox version is being ported by Vicarious Visions, with Xbox-specific features thrown in like Live support. They are adding co-op.

          id Software does the PC version. It's up to them to include it.

            Still, at the end of the day the PC version is without coop mode, which sucks if you happen to want the PC version.

              I'm with Mr Burns.

              Anything XBox is

              Anything where the game is ported onto PC from a console is normally double

                  I assumed you didn't need it explaining.

                  Ok...

                  Blah, blah, blah, blah... games designed on one platform... blah, blah... don't port as well... original better... blah... PC because of keyboard and mouse... blah, blah... better patches etc... look at KOTOR... blah... PC is clearly better.... blah, blah... consoles rot your brain... no they don't... yes they do, look at "x", oh yeah, he IS a dumb nut... blah, blah... great gaming companies killed by drive to produce console games for quick profit... blah... no depth to console games... blah, blah, blah... not 14 years old any more, not for a long time... blah.

                  You know the arguements, I'm just saving you the time of having to read them and either refute them or agree

                  But bascially Xbox is and that's it

                    Jamski you are almost reaching troll territory lately.

                    I'm guessing co-op mode makes more sense on the console, since you can easily have 2 players around a console with 2 controllers. For online co-op SP I'd also like to see that on the PC.

                      Coop mode in the original was great. Especially when you deliberately tried to get your partner killed by triggering traps or shoving them into the path of enemy fire.

                      Or playing properly, as I sometimes did.

                        I don't like this trend of prioritising consoles over the PC..

                        Short-term vision, that's what it is !!!!

                        One should be minimal 18 before playing Console/PC games, they are way too bad for kids' health and too influencial for them.

                              i think this says more about how much id has changed than anything else. you can compare id to metallica in their transformation imo. discounting multiplayer id hasn't released a great single player game since doom 2. even in multiplayer id hasn't done much since quakeworld(last qw version came out in dec 1998) which has practically all the functionality of quake 3.
