It's not. Single player only.

Still need to check out the raytracing on Xbox

Why is it so hard to do campaign coop for these games?

Seems like its the feature everyone wants but it never happens.

In this case it could be hard to implement the enemy AI correctly or so that it is fun for two or more players.

Or maybe it is because of the slayer powers are designed to be used in a specific way and the use of the powers don't scale up properly for more than one player.

Game is not designed to be co op. Forcing a co op mode wouldn't be good.

Doom coop?

Doom coop?

Doom and Doom II had co-op.

Unreal tournament had this feature since ages, it's no excuse.

Honestly as much as I loved Doom Eternal, I think that's something it really suffers from.

A lot of people asked for a lot, and it never happened.

DOOM thrived because of mods, online multiplayer, and coop. It's weird to have a DOOM game that has none of those things. Battle Mode doesn't count, lol.

 

[John Bilbo]

Doom 1 & 2 on PS3 with coop was a blast!

It's really weird especially considered the first two doom games had it.

Doom Eternal's 6.66 update is available today, bringing the new arcade-style Horde Mode, a refined Battlemode 2.0 experience, two new Master Levels, and more.

Prove your mettle and compete against other players to climb seasonal leaderboards in the Horde Mode, where you start off with all perks, runes, and upgrades and arm yourself with only a mastered Combat Shotgun. Defeat waves of demons to unlock additional guns and fight through three challenge-packed levels, and more

The refined Battlemode, the 2v1 competitive multiplayer mode that pits two player-controlled demons against one fully-kitted DOOM Slayer, features an all-new streak-based Ranking System with rewards and matchmaking, leaderboards, a new Arena: Stronghold, and the new Dread Knight playable demon.

Doom Eternal's Update 6.66 is available today for PC, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, PlayStation 4, and PlayStation 5.

Horde is ok, I did hope they would add a full blown Arcade mode like 2016 Doom.

 

[G-DannY]

Coop Horde = would be glorious
no Coop Horde = gloriously boring

 

[John Bilbo]

I just finished my first run on the horde mode on the easiest difficulty. I got a silver medal and a score of 215150.

Time to up the difficulty for the next run!

 

[TintoConCasera]

Just finished Part II of the DLC, which was fine but not as great as the rest of the game imo, so this update comes just at the right time for me.

I also have to beat the master levels, both old and new...

I enjoyed the classic mode challenge on Super Gore Nest. There were some nice throwbacks to the old Doom games.

 

[Xbudz]

No co-op is a bummer.

 

[MiguelItUp]

A part of me feels bad that this is what id was working on this whole time, and I feel like, "That's it?"

I mean, they definitely did a great number of things, but to me it just doesn't feel that.... great?

I'll still give it a shot soon regardless.

I appreciate them revising Battle Mode, but its still Battle Mode. Nothing is gonna change that, it's going to continue to not have many players, etc.

I'd LOVE to unlock some of those new skins and stuff, the Doom 2 art marine is SICK! But, I don't see a point in getting it really when all you really see it is in the campaign, and in Battle Mode, which I really don't care for, lol.
