how does co-op work?

Hoping to play this with a friend but i've heard it's not very good as co-op, that only 1 person can progress etc, could anyone give me some insight? they don't want to buy the game for just singleplayer.

Thanks :)

Only the host's campaign progresses - that is correct.
The person joining, does level and get ressources and such, just fine. The missions goes on, for that person as well, as long as they are in the same game - but as soon as they leave; it goes back to what they got to when they played solo or when they hosted a game themselves.

.. they have to go through the quests themselves, if they ever want to host the game or just play themselves. Can't pick up where the they left off, from multiplayer - only the host can.

If you only play together; then that won't be a problem at all though :)

You heard right, there are no way to trade items whatsoever, game is far too easy two players even on insane. Believe it or not that is not actually the worst part, the gameplay is simply put a dull and simple affair, i won't spoil the little details there is.
