Like the subject says, Far Cry 2 would have been so much better with coop, Fallout 3 would have been better with coop, Fable 2 coop sucks because of the crumy camera angles, Mass Effect needed coop, Thats just a few I could think of off the top of my head. I like Versus mode but their is nothing like playing a good coop game with freinds.

Try Left 4 Dead, Halo 3, or Army of Two. I agree, there aren't enough splitscreen co-op games. GTA4 would have been alot better with it, Saints Row 2 aswell.

Yeah, COD5 is good co-op. But it could have been so much better if it was co-op splitscreen online, like Halo 3. You know? Left 4 Dead is definitely a game that, if you have Live, you should not miss out on.

I don't think that Fallout 3 would have been good with coop, just for the fact that when someone enters VATS, it would have to affect the other player due to the time slowing down, and would get pretty annoying when one person is too slow to enter VATS than the other player, etc, etc.

developers don't focus on co-op, as they figure your sole purpose for the game is to play campaign and get your achievements through online, so they don't design it/dictate many items around the co-op, and merely work it in later to fit..which sucks, but 3rd-party developers especially are trying to pick up buzz by making a different, amazing co-op

I don't see much of a future for splitscreen coop. Game companies are more into using online services (like XBL) for all its multiplayer. Most coop these days feels tacked on.

Mass Effect didn't need co-op. You know what happens when you put co-op in a game like Mass Effect? Fable II. Seriously though, not every game NEEDS multiplayer features. Fable II is the perfect example of a game that didn't, and because they tried to put it in, it was a horrible attempt at multiplayer.

Seriously. Some games are just better as single-player experiences. It lets the developer tell a specific story. Fallout 3, Mass Effect, Oblivion and HL are all classic examples. You couldn't have all of the big story elements if you had to factor in two players being in the same place at the same time. Don't get me wrong, some games are great with co-op, but there are some that should simply be played in solitude.

most of the online gmaes have co-op. look at left 4 dead, halo 3, army of 2, rainbow 6 vegas 2, crackdown, call of duty: world at war, amped 3 has a little but not enough. it's a snowboarding game.

Fallout 3 and Mass Effect would be terrible co-op, they are single-player RPGs, just like they should be. Not every game, especially RPGs, should have a co-op mode included on them, Fable 2 is a good example of that. Some games would work well with co-op though, off the top of my head I can think how fun GTA4 could've been co-op if you another player could've played as someone like Jacob or Packie and went on missions with you.

And there are good co-op games out there. Left 4 Dead, Army of Two (both built around co-op), COD WAW, Gears, and Halo 3 are pretty good, and I can see RE5 being pretty good too.

There are quite a few games with good co-op. Left 4 Dead espescially, co-op is the way its meant to be played. Call Of Duty: WAW also has good campaing co-op, and Nazi zombies is a blast. Halo and Gears both have solid co-op too. I wish Fable's co-op would have been better, that was a major draw for me, was really dissapointed by that fact.

I agree with most of these examples. But some studios see there games as single player, but now there are a growing number of games with co-op. Of course COD as great co-op, as does Halo 3 and Gears. Though it would be cool to see Fallout 3 with co-op that would have been awesome.

Here's a few good co-op games:

Halo 3

Gears of War 2 (the best on this list imo)

CoD: World at War

Rainbow Six: Vegas 2

GRAW 2

Left 4 Dead

Army of Two (not that great though)

Gears of War

Halo 2

There are plenty of great co-op games out there.

some people are listing the QUANTITY these multiplayers have, but this person is asking for QUALITY..practically all of these games have the same co-op as campaign, so if both friends have beat the game, kinda boring..that's why some companies are making distinct, differently plotted co-ops

Here are some good co-op games:

Gears of War 1 and 2 (both are a blast)

Rainbow Six Vegas 1 and 2 (its pretty hard, but still loads of fun)

Left 4 Dead (who doesn't like shooting a bunch of zombies?)

Call of Duty 5 (kind of dumb that you can't save the campaign while playing co-op though...)

Army of Two (a really cool game built entirely around co-op)

Halo 3 (I really enjoyed this one)

Kane and Lynch (it isn't to fun at first, but it gets better as it goes)

Sry I have ignored this but my internet was out and I do play L4D allot online, Im a big RSV fan and Army of Two was awesome and had great potential but failed with the online versus and coop was to restrictive. I would like to see good coop games like Fallout and Far Cry
