So I just got done with RSV2 with my bro. Any other suggestions for good FPS that allows coop campaigning? How is Vegas 1?

Gears of War (not a FPS but still) is very fun on co-op, so is System Shock 2 (a little dated though) and Half Life 2 with the proper mods. There are also a lot of coop mods out there for some shooters, I think Doom3 had a coop mod.

I'm still playing R6Vegas 1 with friends - still lots of fun. I'd been holding off on 2 because of what was reported as lots of bugs.. any major patches released for that?

R6 Ravenshield was fun(and there's hundreds of maps available!), but the AI was VERY weak. Ghost Recon & GRAW would be much better choices.

I've played a bunch of co-op games with my brother during the last few months. Splinter Cell: Chaos Theory has a separate campaign made for co-op, which is quite long and well designed. UT3 has a great invasion mod that's also a lot of fun. If you go back several years, Descent 3 and Unreal can be fully played in co-op. There are also a number of fanmade singleplayer campaigns for UT with co-op support.

Far Cry has a co-op mod, but we never got that to work properly. There was some strange desync problem in certain levels that kept messing up everything.

Synergy mod for Half-Life 2 allows coop play through the campaign and Episode 1.

Vegas 2 has gone through 3 patches so far and to be honest I didn't see that many bugs involved with the game. There was one major exploit that was quickly fixed but other then that the game ran fluidly and smoothly. Story and dialogue were something left to be desired though.

I'm definitely going to pick up Vegas 1 and the Ghost Recon series looks interesting.

I tried to get this MOD to play over a LAN as well with no success. 1 player would be invisible to the others, etc. Too bad cause it would have been fun.

pretty much the same game.

there have been several pacthes released for Vegas 2. I haven't run into any major bugs.
although terrorist hunt mode is pretty crappy with enemies not spawning until you reach certain areas of the map.
