Hrmm. I do love me some horde/firefight/last stand kind of stuff, so this may work just fine. Here's hoping there's a split-screen couch co-op mode though. They've set that expectation for me anyway with Kill Team...

Sounds like an incentive mode for people buying the game new. Perhaps will be given to everyone try and stop trade ins for at least 30 days? I think this would be a better tactic as people won't feel robbed and the publishers can limit the 2nd hand market.

I knew there wouldn´t be co-op campaign. They were holding too much that info. I wish so much there was a co-op campaign. I can´t believe we are goingto play yet another single-player shooter

So apparently co-op was an afterthought on this one. I was going to Gamefly it til I saw THQ on the cover, meaning some bulls*** $10 online pass crap. Oh well, getting Dead Island on 9/6 so no big deal.

they should switch it up... include the co-op mode on-disk, then release the VS multiplayer 30 days later.

Argh, this is going to make finding co-op matches even harder.

I hope that at the very least everyone can play in their customized armor. I don't want to get dressed up for nothing.

I would have seriously thought MAYBE this title would have had a co-op Campaign, instead you'll probably have worthless AI squad members where co-op buddies could have been.

Doing some researching and a menber of the 40k forums seems to be convinced, after playing a beta release at an event in london, that co-op campaign IS in there /

"Yes, co-op campaign is available. It wasn't available in our version, but you are due to be able to play a co-op campaign in a group of up to five players."

Can anyone shed some light on this as it seems a little... scetchy to say the least lol (5 players??? how random o.O)

Apparently GameSpot.com has been allowed to test the multiplayer to an extent and its a crappy Horde mode : / called exterminatus mode.
Way to keep the bar at EXACTLY the same level THQ! I mean this game screams Co-op Campaign and all we get is the same wash rinse repeat of last stand and kill team, can they do nothing new?
