I can't see co-op being a good addition, the only sense of threat in these titles comes from your isolation. When you remove that I just can't take the other stuff as seriously. This online pass stuff is just moving into nonsense territory.
Agreed that co-op just doesn't work for horror. If they'd gone for a sort of spin-off where you play as a squad of space marines wading through thousands of necromorphs, though, I could easily see myself playing it for a bit with friends. If they absolutely have to add multiplayer, then I'd rather have that than the usual poorly balanced hastily slapped together boring death match related stuff that nobody plays after the first month. And I'd rather have campaign drop-in as well, even though it completely removes the tension, atmosphere and brilliant sound-design that made the first two games good. That's just going to evaporate when you have your friends cracking jokes on voice chat at the same time.

Doubt I'll be grabbing it at all though. I was getting pretty tired of the whole game towards the mid/end of the second installment, and there wasn't exactly much in the way of plot to keep things interesting either.
