My friend and I love to play Starcraft together, unfortunatly the campaign were single player with no option of Co-Op.
When we played Broodwar we felt the same, but when we heard about Starcraft 2, we laughed and were happy and said to eachother:
" Hahaha well, this time blizzard will not be that stupid to make the campaign not have a Co-Op mode hehehuhehue "
Well, couple of years later, we smashed our keyboards to the wall when we realised blizzard didn't care about Co-Op at all.
We even prepaired and written on forums over the years and were 100% sure they would have an option, ATLEAST an option for Co-Op campaign.. :<
Anyway, my suggestion/request is if, someone can make the WOL and HOTS campaign Co-Op?
Not really interested in any other difficulty than BRUTAL, that's the shizzle, an option for even harder would be nice aswell.
Gotta match 2 players.
I doubt someone would do this, but can't hurt to ask ;P
there are some missions of WoL campaign online in arcade EU server. Enter "coop" in search bar there and you should find them, there is 5 or more of them, first misisons. But dont really know how reliable thoese missions are in those difficulties and its more for 3 players maps editions, some are missing players seems like you getting control of the units that should be for those missing players.
I myself really would want to see WoL coop missions properly made. I would do it myself if it wasnt tenth project of me starting and being in production with no real date to complete it.

Yeah I know about those maps aswell, but as you said yourself, not properly made.
All the co-op Starcraft 2 campaign maps so far are not made with love and care, tons of bugs on them and its not the same to get control of the other team's units, should be simplified, no need to have 8-10 players playing a campaign, 2 is an ok number, maps like these should only be for private fun with a friend anyway.
I'm working on one. But it's not an easy task and I don't believe that it's going to be done shortly. If I had testers/somebody to help me fixing bugs and designing the AI, I could maybe launch some maps of it that are already advanced in their construction...
EDIT: Sorry, I missread. I've missed the part where you where saying you wanted a remake of the original campaings. Mine as TwoDie says is my own created.

But its your own created? Not using the Blizz maps and make them as coop missions?!
There was a Co-op version of the WoL campaign, which was not THAT bad. It had some balancing issues, yes, but it was playable and it was fun. However, it was taken down by Blizzard, they didn't want people to just upload their very own campaign maps with slight modifications.
So unfortunately, if you want to play or create a Co-op campaign, you are limited to custom campaigns, which are not copys of Blizzard's campaign.

hmm, How long ago such events had occured? Well there is coop maps currently online for few months.. maybe they changed their policy.

As long as they are unaware and nobody reports the maps, they probably won't take action. I am not sure, if they actually banned the maps, but in the official forums the creator posted that he was asked to take down the maps, I believe. I will try to find the original post.
€ this thread is about the campaign maps I was referring to, but it doesn't contain the taking down part, didn't find that yet.

Well it doesn't have to be that bad. There are many campaigns that are distributed outside battlenet and meant to be played offline, like most of the campaigns on this forum, so whatever coop campaign is made just has to stay offline.

Oh right......offline you can modify the campaign all you want but the multiplayer is gone, great idea on my part...
I know multiplayer is possible outside battlenet but that's probably too shady for most.
Hey all, just wanted to let you know that me and my friend have completed all of the starcraft and starcraft broodwar missions in a cooperative style, I just had a look at the Starcraft 2 campaign missions and i plan to do the same, unlike others I will be doing so with love and care as I'm not planning on making it just because it needs to exist but because i want to play it myself and share the experience with others.
If you are interested in what we can do, check out our Starcraft and Starcraft: Brood War Coop Campaign mod's on moddb
(Starcraft Coop campaign)
Also note that this was an entire rebuild of coop, we didn't use any of the previous attempts of making it coop as we wanted it to be polished and rebuilt from the ground up.
I can't see a reason why blizz wouldn't allow this, it's basically doing THEIR JOB, they should have made the campaigns Co-Op in the first place..
It has to do with the format of the Arcade. Since the Arcade (especially now) is going to be free but Wings of Liberty most definitely isn't, it would kind of beat the point if players were able to find practically the entire WoL campaign on the free arcade.
It sucks, I know, but it makes sense. Co-op versions of regular campaigns are among the most unthankful projects in mapping history: though they take relatively little time (since most of the campaign is already made for you) very few people care about them, they're a pain to balance well, and even when you fully finish it, all you've done is altered the regular campaign - nobody gives you much credit for that.

Someone can, but I'm not sure if they're working on it.
And you can play SC1 campaign in co-op with this project: http://www.moddb.com/mods/starcraft-the-co-operative-version

The problem is... Where i can find players to play with it on StarCraft 1 if i can't access to battle.net with it ?
