In answer to Steambot:
Anyway, is Rogue Trooper good? I've liked Rebellion's previous games, but is it campaign co-op?
Yeah, I think it's a great game. I've only had it a couple of days, but it has really impressed me, especially after seeing a couple of mediocre reviews, although both Edge and Games TM gave it 7, which is a good review for these mags.
The graphics are not immediately amazing, but when you start to look at them they are actually very good to excellent. The control system is fairly intuative with some very nice touches and the weapon set allows plenty of open-ended assaults and laying of traps. Great sound effects too. AI is often difficult to judge, but even on normal setting the Norts can surprise you (lots of variety in troop types) and I would imagine Hard (and unlockable Ultra-hard) modes would give a serious challenge.
The criticisms seem to have been that it is a little generic, but IMO that's simply because the Rogue Trooper story is qute simple and war-related, so the game conversion seems like it's unoriginal, but the universe is unique and Rogue makes a very good game character.
Don't expect to be wowed, but if you want a solid and enjoyable action game, you can't go wrong. http://forums.ubi.com/images/smilies/25.gif
EDIT: Didn't notice the question Steambot: no, you can't co-op in the main story-mode, but you can co-op splitscreen 2 player and online 2-4 on special MP defend or assault levels - I haven't tried these yet though.
