Painkiller Resurrection's Co-Op Mode Not Exactly Intuitive

If you picked up Painkiller: Resurrection on the PC last week with hopes of glorious cooperative stake gunning in your head, you may have been disappointed to find no menu option for co-op.  Rest assured though, the game does have co-op support, it's just a little ridiculous as to how you have to start it.

"To play a coop game you have to start a dedicated server with the tool provided together with your game. Pull in the campaign maps from C9L01 to C9L06, choose FFA and start the game. You can also add / remove bots accompanying you there.  We will add a more convenient ingame coop menu with the next update " 

That's from a JoWood representative on the official message boards.  Were you expecting a nice simple solution for co-op?  Sorry, none to be found here.  Thankfully JoWood confirms they are working on a "more convenient way of accessing co-op" in a future update.

Gee thanks.

idk... i haven't seen that in years. its nice when games provide a method for having dedicated servers but to omit an in-game listen server is a little ridiculous these days.

JoWood is an auto pass for me. They routinely print features on a game box and not actually have them in games. I wouldn't hold my breath about them fixing this issue.
