Only Xbox Port of Doom 3 Will Have Co-operative Play

Ant writes "According to this interview with the Xbox developers Vicarious Visions over at GamePro, only the Xbox port of id's Doom 3 will have co-operative play, and the PC version will not have co-op, unlike the original Doom games. There are also two recent interviews with id themselves on the GamePro site." Co-op was one of the parts of Doom (and Quake) that really got me into the genre, but after I got good enough fighting alongside my friends, I found it was more fun to fight against them, since they were more challenging than anything the computer could come up with then.

If you think this sucks, then you fund their development and distribution costs. As long as Microsoft has the bucks, Microsoft calls the shots. This is no different than any other platform -- look at all the titles that are exclusive to PS2, with no PC version in sight. Oh, but you own a PS2, so that's OK by you, right? So buy an Xbox then and shut up already. Most gamers I know own several consoles for just this reason. Why else do you think they make these?
