I should have continued and said that after playing Deathmatch we **did** play Doom co-op, and that was definitely better! My brother and I quickly got handsfree phone headsets to use during co-op! One of us would get into a tough firefight, the other could run to the rescue! Now that was way cool (especially ten years ago!)

HAH! 5nd5 1ik u got pwned, u ghey luzer!!1!

With the scintillating conversation skills of the people one usually encounters there, what’s not to like about multiplayer? :rolleyes:

In some ways, AI is already a lot smarter than the human players out there.

I’m with you on this! I never play multi and am unlikely to start.
