"In other news, we had a press junket this week at work where I was FINALLY able to unveil some of the reasons why Gears will be oh-so-fun to play. It's not anyone's surprise that co-op is going to be a big feature and being able to show it off in full glory with good ol' Rod next to me was a heck of a milestone. It makes quite a bit of difference when both of us are actual characters in the story and not just clones of one another."

So co-op has been designed where each player is a different character? I wonder if they'll have different weapons and/or specialities?

GoW = God of War

pdz co-op does this... not anything new

 

[jetjevons]

Yeah in PDZ both characters ARE identical gameplay wise. I'm curious if Gears of War co-op is going to have team specialities in co-op.

Booooring. Very underwhelming. I hope there are tangible gameplay reasons why it'll be "oh-so-fun"

It could have been better in PDZ. Some maps you're the same character. Other maps player two will be another character involved in the story, but their objectives/route/etc will be exactly the same as player one. I thought it worked really well on the rooftop level for instance, but as a whole they could have made the experience more original and intergrated into the story for the second player in co-op.

I guess their co-op mode must be revolutionary and/or very different from the single-player game.
