I can’t imagine why so many policemen are assigned to work with partners. I mean, there’s just another guy who could get you entailed in a rodney-king case, or who could accidentally shoot you if he mistakes you for a gun-wielding perp in a vacant building you’re sent to scour, or who could be taken hostage or be injured and become a liability.
I mean, unless your buddy is talented and respectable. Then the benefits of another gun become blindingly obvious. Perhaps someone you trust in real life, instead of a random twelve-year-old stranger on the internet.
In unrelated news, I understand now why the devs have decided to forgo making co-op a priority. It might involve a lack of IRL friends with which to best experience the fruit of their labour.
