Well, thanks to eagle-eyed member "borandi" we have just updated Kane & Lynch: Dead Men to the infamous status of 1250 gamerscore with five new achievements. There were rumors when the game was first released that DLC would be revealed shortly after, but nothing ever came of it. New achievements are always a good indicator of DLC, so we'll definitely be keeping our virtual ears open for an announcement on that front. As of right now, we have no idea what, when or how this DLC will take shape.
There's an integrated co-op experience where literally the two players have to work in tandem to pursue some goal. On a stealth mission, for example, you may have one guy who's moving a big, bulky shield generator unit and the other guy has to take his assault force and has to keep it underneath the cover of that shield generator unit. That's a very intimate co-op experience because they're talking into their voice-over-IP headsets and they have to coordinate their movements that way.
Other multiplayer modes will include deathmatch, fetch quests, and races, as well as the open ended "Free Roam". It is unknown if any of these other multiplayer modes will feature co-op. The full list of multiplayer modes is available after the jump.

In particular I was particularly stuck by the comment about defining what a gamer considers bedrock functionality for co-op gaming. This sort of thinking is very similar to some of the thinking we do with the industry around platform features, and it got my co-worker Krotus and I chatting about what features might be considered as being the basic "bar" for a co-op title. The industry has come a long way in just a few years, and we wanted to see what we might come up with that we'd like to see in future titles. A little bit of whiteboarding later we came up the list below... and would love your thoughts on it!
