Co-op Please!

Gaming is a strong developing industry, growing with current technology. One thing games should focus more on is co-operative gameplay. Games are more fun when players are communicating with each other, finding strategic ways to accomplish a common goal. Valve is one company that understands this. With Left 4 Dead, the co-op in Portal 2, and the recent Mann VS. Machine in TF2, they are helping players communicate, make friends, and experience the game with other people. Some other game developers are catching on to this as well. Call of Duty made their Nazi Zombies and even Mass Effect 3 included their new online mode. Dead Space 3 is also making a co-op campaign. Little Big Planet is one of the best games for co-operative play. Co-op is one thing that strengthens a game if it is done right. It can teach team building, and makes people more friendly towards each other. If you compare the community of Left 4 Dead to Call of Duty's online, you would see a huge difference of how players treat eachother.  It would be good to see every game with a co-op mode to relieve people of this competitive world.
