Free weekends for Co-op Shooters = whiping on the third wave because the medic wants to melee with a katana and no armor...
Play wisely my friends :D #killingfloor

There are people who are or will never be as good as those playing the competition. Therefore, those people wouldn't have to experience the grind. I think everyone wins in this case.

I greatly appreciate MGO after the UC2 beta. If it weren't for the STUPID Konami ID system...

Their 3 player co-op missions are probably going to be great, along the lines of co-op in Resistance 2 and similar to the spec ops co-op in modern warfare 2. However that's not the type of co-op we generally get excited about. That being said yes I would have loved a co-op campaign to be in Uncharted 2. Whether P1 was Drake through the whole game I don't think would matter, as long as you always had 2 characters to pair up elena and chloe, drake and chloe, drake and elena, drake and sully and what have you. I'm just looking at here I've got 2 great games in Uncharted 2 and Brutal Legend coming in a week and neither have the co-op campaign we're looking for.
We've pretty much exhausted the good co-op games out there and we've basically been just playing multiplayer when we hang out. The hardest thing though is find split screen co-op because most games that do co-op now are only doing online co-op, not local co-op. That sucks even more because right now I have both the 360 and PS3 and he doesn't have anything but PC(he wants to get a PS3 soonish after he gets an HD monitor with HDMI.)
So yeah not earth shattering, but split screen co-op campaigns are appreciated.

And I get that people prefer to have their own screen to play on, and even that it's easier to keep performance up when you have 2 machines to work with instead of 1.
BUT, I feel like the option should always be there. People enjoy playing games with each other in the same room. I honestly wouldn't mind a performance hit for split screen co-op if it meant the option was still there. Turn down the AA, lower the resolution, user slightly smaller textures, whatever. Just make it so I don't have to have 2 TV's and 2 systems setup so I can play a co-op game with my friend.

I used to have a blast playing SKIRMISH mode online with friends in Aliens VS Predator for the PC like 8 years ago. GoW wasn't the first game to do it, not even close.

It's a combination of a generational gap and console gamers not knowing about PC developments.

I feel ya man. Probably the best co-op I've ever seen integrated into a game. It wasn't just slapped on like all the Halo games or CoD:WaW.
I really wish the Splinter cell's after Chaos Theory kept expanding the great co-op.
It was there for Chaos Theory then it just went away. :(

Oh yeah, we'll just give you 7 maps, but you'll have to download the other 3 maps we already have ready, but won't release until a future date unspecified.
Greedy bastards...

Also bear in mind that most DLC is only started on within the final month or so, so most likely not within shipping of the game, but close enough not to be releasing it long after the popularity of the game has dwindled.

Sometimes it is purely a greed thing, but some of it is just to get the game out the door. Things like extra MP maps are not strictly necessary at release, so it is a good way to shorten your list of things to test/validate prior to release.

The developer may want to give out tons of free content, but the publishers and platform holders (like Microsoft and Sony) say otherwise.

I couldn't disagree more considering that Uncharted is an a Summer Blockbuster Movie type title. Which means Drake sometimes has to go off on his own. One point in particular the end of Uncharted 1 would have not been the same if we had to lug anyone along for the ride.

Sometimes Co-op is tacked on for the sake of it. e.g with ODST my housemates were playing and I asked where the back story for guy no 2 being there's as I was sure the story was about a lone ODST, turns out theres no backstory at all, player 2 just happens to be there. Which for such a story driven game as Uncharted it wouldn't be acceptable, and if their was co-op it would mean when not using co-op your gonna be dragging AI around with you.
I quite like the way Uncharted 2 works out with the bite size chunks of Co-op so it's only parts where it suits.
