Mostly I prefer games that have a good to better single player mode, and then look for coop online play. I think the one exception would be CoD WaW. The coop zombie maps are the only part of that game that I have played much of. I played through the single player campaign only to unlock the Nazi zombie maps. There is some strategy to playing that coop, but it still a point and shoot over and over. I used to play World of Warcraft, but I lost interest as there isn't much you can do solo at higher levels, and it was difficult to find a good group. If you didn't have a good group, you wouldn't last long. I don’t play many games that are strictly coop.

If you cripple players/classes too much and force team play with unrealiable, griefing or new players you get very annoying game. You must still remember balance batween solo and coop play.
