Need to scratch the same itch with my friends, in oder of priority:

  1. Available on pc and has full coop campaign.
  2. Military shooter that has cod like difficulty.
  3. Decent graphics. Not a hard requirement but this is one of the reason that WAW isn’t working for us. It’s showing it’s age.
  4. Old guns.

Bonus points if the game environments are destructable.

Please no zombie game like L4D2 etc. Soldier on soldier combat is our jam.

Only if battlefield 1 had coop that’d been perfect.

Thanks!

Take a look at the Sniper Elite series. It’s third-person and plays a lot slower than a COD game, but it is full co-op and takes place in WW2. The newer entries also look pretty nice.

Thanks, we tried this earlier but me and my buddies can’t seem to do stealth no matter how much we try. Now if it can be a viable strategy to go guns blazing then that’d be a different story.

Well, it is somewhat viable. The game just becomes very difficult if you do that.

Halo and Gears of War are both pretty good if sci Fi is ok.

I got the impression they won’t like either of those based on the post. Which is a shame because they’re great. You can spend a night with a couple friends going through pretty much any of the Halo games, and with the Master Chief Collection you can turn on skulls and such and have access to all the great Halos in one.

Yeah, not what we’re looking for right now but we’ve played through halo games and it was a blast. GOW didn’t sit right with us, perhaps due to the third person view, but we are going to give it an another try in the future. Just now, we got the COD itch. We’ve completed world at war campaigns so many times that now we just blaze through it on full autopilot now…

Try Warhammer Space Marine 2

Hmmm, this game looks sweet, maybe a good option for future once military fever is down a notch.

Call of Duty Black Ops 3 has a full co-op campaign and the alternate co-op zombies campaign as well. It’s a good time.

Thanks, we haven’t played through other cod coop campaigns as much as WAW so it’s definitely a viable option if nothing else comes up.

Does it have to specifically be semi-realistic, have old guns, be military themed and in first person? Cuz I know some fine twin-stick sci-fi co-op shooters that can fill the same “shoot everything that moves with minimal effort” itch but they aren’t realistic, military themed or first person.

Like Synthetic 1 and 2 or The Ascent. I know of a couple WW2 games also similar but they completely lack co-op (or any kind of multiplayer for that matter) except for Jagged Alliance. And those games are old (except for the F2P thing that might not even be around anymore).

Yeah unfortunately. We’ve tried so many things at this point but for some reason only FPS games stick with us
