I still play BF1942. Co-op maps, against 6-12 bots, with a couple of friends on my home LAN, all of us in the same room - great fun. Sadly, that's a mode of game-play that no-one seems to create any more. As noted in the article, playing against "foul mouthed tweenagers" is my idea of Hell.
I really, really wish there were more local LAN co-op-versus-bot games out there. Right now I have Age of Mythology (2003), BF1942 (ditto) and Grim Dawn (2020) - and that's basically it :(
