If you just can't wait a day to find out what the co-op pack has in store, fear not. Rockstar recently gave us a chance to play through a couple of missions to see what's involved. The missions range from a rainy nighttime shootout against the Mexican Army in a mission called Ammunition, to a sprawling stage choach chase through seemingly endless frontier trails in The Escape. All of these missions are outfitted with checkpoints to keep the action going as long as at least one player is still alive. If all four die, it's back to the start. If the surviving player(s) makes it to a checkpoint, everyone's back in it.
There are a handful of other interesting new twists to the existing gameplay formula in there. When a teammate goes down in battle, you're given a certain amount of time to rush over and revive him before he dies. Second, you can choose a preset loadout before the match begins. Examples include the fire-bottle-equipped soldier and the sniper rifle expert marksman. Our favorite class was the marksman, because we enjoyed the balance between taking out enemies from afar and rushing into the proverbial bees nest to revive fallen comrades when they needed help.
