In the first one, you could drop in and out of each other's games and you would share progress on relevant missions. In number 2 you would join one players game, only they would get credit for any progress and it tethered you together. So although technically co-op, it was a significant downgrade from the first game and didn't lend itself to the open world nature of the game, more like being player 2.
