Why Doesn't Bulletstorm Feature a Co-Op Campaign?

The campaign mode in Bulletstorm is a strictly single-player experience. At one point co-op was implemented and did function, Epic Games' Cliff Bleszinski has explained -- it just didn't wasn't right for a game that focuses on taking your time and being creative with how you kill enemies.

"[I]t was in there at one point and it actually worked, but we found that the game shifted from being this kind of puzzle-shooter into essentially this downhill skiing simulator, where people were seeing how fast they could get to the bottom of the mountain," he told The Telegraph. "Really the game just broke down, and it was a situation where people would race through the game, ignoring the vistas and they wouldn't set up as many skillshots.

He added, "So when we made the decision to go straight campaign, it gave us the chance to put in one-offs that could only be controlled by one player, like the giant robotic dinosaur, where you don't have to worry about Player 2, or slow motion one-offs that could only occur in a single-player game."
