As the title states I recently picked up Chaos Rising and now I need a mate to play the coop campaign wimme (preferably starting the normal campaign first since I lost all of my saves). Anyone interested?

I can only reccomend buying it on steam, as you'll only have to download like 1 MB or something (a simple unlock file)

The game is fine once unlocked, you can play single player no prob on dial-up connection! Co-op seems to almost never lag, but proper multiplayer, especially Last Stand is always laggy.
I just refuse to purchase digital download versions of games when it's cheaper to buy a hard copy. When digital becomes cheaper, or offers so many freebies it's worth the money, then i'll buy it - till then Play.com is my friend!

It's your choice. I didn't want to criticise you ;)

I just finished the campaign on full corruption so I'd be up for a co-op mate doing the more pious route for sure! :)

would be happy if you'd join me (maybe interested in starting all over again, so we get our custom characters in the Addon campaign?)

It says "Reassign" after the first mission near the stats of each squad at the end of the first mission if I recall correctly, that or the one where you pick up the librarian.

Not sure when I'd be up for it, I have a high school friend who wants to do it too, but that's probably not until Wednesday, so maybe Monday or Tuesday evening?

I find the campaign in chaos rising disappointing. Compared to the original its much shorter, much easier and has less side quests.

Even the inclusion of other races feels very tacked on. There are only two Eldar missions, and the second is against the avatar (who compared to the first one is a complete and utter wimp).

Its still a very good campaign, but after the first one i was expecting so much more from it

The positive: More events on same map, more content for skirmish-type MP/SP games. Harder game modes are actually -harder- now. Skirmish-type games a re a wee bit more enjoyable now. Corruption system makes it a bit interesting as well. Stat re-assigning, letting you take care of any previous mistakes (first mission only squad screen only)
The Negative: Shorter campaign. Only two major Eldar related missions. Avatar being a pushover. Not enough story info on the new units(other than Chaos Marines, which the campaign is basically more or less about (Apart from a few minor Eldar bits, Tyranid bits and Ork bits) )

'Tis a good game. Great conversations. Liking the new event system on the maps during campaign mode and the corruption system.
But after all the work time they used on it, it still feels like something is lacking a bit. Maybe it is the short campaign. Maybe it is the lack of some minor details in the overall storyline in-game.

The Demanding Gamer shall now rate Chaos Rising
5/10 (Feeling generous today)
