You can play with up to three players and it usually works best with four players. The location of the command post changes after three waves, so you’ll need to relocate across the map. Dropped into a variety of maps, both familiar and unfamiliar, you have to survive 12 waves of enemy onslaught, which grows with each wave in both numbers and difficulty (including half-tanks, tanks and snipers) all while defending your command post. The survival mode is harsh at times, and this is your view when you die like I did there.

It was lots of fun! And I am hoping to play the latest and most excellent Deathstorm: Obliteration-DLC in coop real soon. There was one fellow player who stuck with me on the two Deathstorm-DLC missons, though, and I am happy he did. So I guess that’s one trophy I’ll never earn.

I understand that people will find this annoying and quit. So, with the combination of my being reckless and a lack of communications, campaign missions usually end with me being shot a lot of times and having to be resurrected. Unfortunately, while I play with my microphone turned on, a lot of people don’t and, of course, sometimes we do not speak the same language, which doesn’t help either. With another player by my side I become more reckless. See, while I by now know each map by heart, once I play coop my behaviour changes. So far, I haven’t managed even one campaign mission played in coop. The same goes for Survival Missions too, of course, where it’s like, the more players, the harder, so keep your team alive. Also, keep out of sight of enemy snipers. Position yourself in such a way that your teammate can still use the pistol to hold off enemy soldiers since you yourself are defenseless while healing them. To revive a comrade, you have to get close next to them and follow the prompt. Playing together, you need to have each other’s back, for when one of you dies, it is Game Over. Which is how I got the trophy for shooting all the stone eagles in every map. Playing the campaign with a partner is good for completing your collection of letters or stone eagles, since whatever one of you finds, the other gets too. In single player I have completed each campaign mission, including the DLCs, at least three times, since I am just as keen on collectibles and achievements as the next guy or girl.

I am also usually pretty good at evading detection when playing solo. And I can also fairly claim that I have put enough hours into playing the campaign, DLC and survival missions by myself that by now I have truly mastered my primary weapon, which is a Carcano rifle. I recently played a lot of SNIPER ELITE 4 cooperative maps, like, really a lot.
