OK, in case you haven't noticed yet, i play mostly (almost exclusively, because i like them best, not that i am not willing to play other games) First Person Shooters (FPS).
Anyway the best coop action i had in 2004 was Joint Operations (from Novalogic) by far. The game's realism was great and the action was a lot of fun, the learning curve for my newbie friends just right. All in all Joint Operations (and Escalation, its' expansion) was by far and wide the best coop game of 2004.
I storngly recommend it. One of the interesting aspects of Joint Operations was that it allowed big groups to work cooperatively: squads of 20 players were not unheard of, which is unique as far as i know. And Joint Operations delivered a field of action that was big enough for everybody to have something to shoot at. Rare indeed.
Another fantastic feature of Joint Operations was the community: there are litterally TONS of maps out there to play (missions if you prefer) specifically for coop gaming. So many, in fact, that an -almost- addict like me have not the opportunity to play them all!
Just one site to check out if you want maps: www.dfbarracks.com The maps are rated and commented, and the creators are availbable for comments, and even betterments if you ask nicely...
Combined together, these factors made Joint Operations a worthwhile coop gaming year for me. Nope, i'm not exagerating.

Cooperative games, or what they should be. Gaming experiences i've had, and gaming experiences i wish i'd had.

Totally agree, Joint Ops has the best co-op made of any FPS game.
Whilst it has been surpassed by BF2 in terms of gameplay, graphics and physics. BF2 seriously lacks a dedicated co-op made.

There is also a Tournament that plays Joint Opperatinos the way the game is meant to be played.
International Conflict, a brand new tournament sponsored by MyIS, brings competitive game play to a level never before seen. Troops are divided into 2 massive Armies, each one vying for global domination. You will be placed under an experienced command core whose leadership will guide you to many victories and even more fun.
You will work together with your division through voice communications and forums to prepare and compete in our massive 10 HOUR battles on our own 250 player private battle server.
As you gain experience, you too can work your way into this command structure and take your chances leading real players into battle against the evil forces pitted against you.
You will learn to compete as a team, and use this teamwork to become the supreme fighting regiment. www.internationalconflict.com/
This is the best game to date, now you can get the game plus the expansion for 20 bucks. IC-Mod is free & the Tournament is free to join.
