good for 2-player co-op?

[Kajuku]

What the title says, is this game good for 2-player online co-op play? Also, does the game has only campaign, or are there any other co-op game modes?

when you're playing campaign mode, you can have 3 other players with you same goes for survival and mutations. versus and scavenge is 4 v 4 people against each other.

OK, i just like to know if I can just play with one more player in campaign (im interested in 2-player co-op only), survival and mutations. In versus and scavenge, can I play 2v2, or is it strictly 4v4?

my bad. yes, you can play with strictly just one person if you'd like assuming you don't have any other friends that'll be able to hop in your game. you have to make your lobby friends-only so your game isn't an option for other people to quickmatch and join.

One more question: Lets say I play the game with my friend online. Will the game add 2 bots to make a 4 man team, or will it let us play it through as a 2 man team? I mean, are the bots optional, or the game only works with 4 man teams (human players and the rest AI bots)?

The game will fill in bots if the server isn't filled up. Some modded servers alowe you to play without bots.

for the record: 2-person co-op does not work well in survival. you can do it, sure, but you just won't have the DPS or teammate support required to get very far. the bots are too inept to be any real help in this mode.

campaign though is comparatively quite doable with bots.

if you are really dead-set on a 2-person campaign you can also just kill the bot players at the start of each chapter. shooting them dead is kinda immersion-breaking -- or, maybe not. probably not hard to come up with some IC/RP explanation ;P ("they got infected. oops lol.") -- but i think there are also console commands that can assist with this. been a while; i don't recall for sure.

of course to use console you will have to play on a cheat-enabled server. easiest way to do so is to host your own, which should work just fine for a 2-player game.
