Kane and Lynch: No Online Buddy Action

Ever since I first saw Kane and Lynch at the X06 event, I knew that this game had a lot of potential, co-op potential. However, turns out that online co-op has been nixed. That means for people like me, who have no friends, will only get to enjoy the game half as much as everyone else. Maybe, if I'm lucky, I can pay someone to play the game with me but it just won't be the same.
