You do not have a team of twelve in Medal of Honor: Warfighter. You have one partner, and almost everything depends on them, including where you spawn.
Installing L4D2, the eight special infected and why five of them leave you helpless, and how to find the dedicated servers running 8-player co-op.
Killing Floor's best moment is between waves: the trader opens somewhere on the map, everyone has money, and six of you argue purchases on the run.
The dropship leaves whether you are on it or not. That one rule separates Icarus from every other survival crafting game, so it is the thing to learn.
The first thing Hell Let Loose does is make you walk. Not for ten seconds but for a minute or two, over open ground, to a treeline where someone might be.
The first serious argument in any co-operative factory game happens when somebody reroutes a belt you built. They had a reason. The reason was good.
Nobody has ever joined a Factorio server for twenty minutes. You come to see what a friend built, notice the iron smelting is short, and start fixing it.
Walk into the fog and a countdown starts. Everything worth having in Enshrouded is under it, and you get a fixed amount of time inside before it kills you.
The moment Empyrion earns its keep is the first time you fly something you built yourself out of the atmosphere. Not a ship you unlocked.
A meteor is coming, the server sets how long you have, and stopping it needs an industrial civilisation that does not exist yet. Building one pollutes.
Doom 3 shipped with a torch you could not hold at the same time as a gun, and twenty years later people are still arguing about it.
Almost everybody dies on the first night, to nothing they ever see. The sun goes down, the screen goes black, there is a sound, and you are dead.
