Venom. Codename: Outbreak

One of the view ...

When I think back to 2001/2002, when the game was released, well, it was just the beginning of online gaming. Yes I know, shooter have been out since quite some while with deathmatch, team deathmatch, capture the flag and so on, but something was missing: CoOp. In the same year: System Shock 2 was released, with a GREAT coop multiplayer patch right after release. And then, there was this little jewel. Single player was already good, but CoOp was where it truly became a great game. You could setup ambushes, coordinate with your friend, you could even have a monitor active showing you your partner's field of view. That was groundbreaking back in the time. Though, yes, it had a really big impact on performance back then, but it was FUN. Real Fun. My friend and me had a lot of fun, and there are quite a few moments I can still recall when I think back. Another thing is: Even in single player you can control both soldiers, with orders how to react. Can lead to fun situations aswell and bring in a big surprise for the AI. It's fun playing around with the possibilties, since the AI for the companion is not that bad actually. No matter where in the game you were, you had that feeling that death is around every corner. And it was. If you like slow paced action, tactical approach, scouting first, acting later: this may be for you. I'll definitely will sink a few more hours into this one.
