Actually whenever I used to play co-operative I used to always get shot in the
back, not by any demons, but from my team members. It always happened when you
decided to charge out in front..... dang it!
BTW We usually played it via the network here at work, usually with more than
two people, it was great fun, especially when we set up a comference call on
the PABX, then we could all talk with each other. Much easier than typing in
your message, rather stupid really.
