Any of you guys play Vietcong co-op with mates? I know it's an old game now, but it's still got the most realistic multiplayer co-op combat that I know of. Me and my housemate have been playing it for years, slowly refining our skills.
We play co-op levels - us two vs the vietcong. We started off by restricting ourselves to no respawns. So if one of us dies, they're out of the game. After that, we switched to no deaths. So as soon as one of us dies, we restart the level. That's really tough in Vietcong, but eventually we got it down so we could complete any level over and over again without dying.
After that we took the next step and started restricting our weaponary. Things like, we have to complete the whole level only using Winchester rifles or Remmington shotguns. Finally we got onto pistols and knives - we started completing levels only with pistols and knives, but that is damn hard. When you have three VC with machine guns and you've got a 6 shot revolver, you normally go down.
So we arrived at our final game solution to solve this problem. Don't let them shoot at us. Complete any level without the VC ever firing a single shot. How? Silienced pistols, knife kills and stealth.
If you've not played Vietcong co-op before, that might not sound like much, but it is damn hard!
Anyway, I recorded us completing the whole Ambush co-op level in Fraps as evidence of our elitism. hehe.
I'm uploading the first 6 minutes now! Will edit and add link in a bit.
Do we have any other elite Vietcong vets here?!
Edit: Here's the link. This won't look like much to non Vietcong players, but trust me, these guys normally spot you take you out pretty quick. You've got to get in there first, take them out in the right order and synchronise with the other guy on the other side of the map.
If they get off a single shot, we have to reload the level.

It had to be 640x480 res 1Mbps else you can't see the enemy heads poking out from behind the bushes.
