Co-ops are meant for multiplayer situations. You could play one over your home network, in that case you don't need an internet connection.
You could play one over the internet. In that case you either need a friend whose IP number is known or accessible to you. Connect via the in- game main menu by clicking "multiplayer" and then either create or join a server.
These missions can be played by a single player as well, using the multiplayer menu by setting up a server, co-op type.
Depending on how the mission was built, it will run in a logical way even if you're the only human pilot. :wink:
The quickest way to join co-ops or dogfights without dependency of friends is a thing called "hyperlobby".
The other thing is the directory structure for missions: they are divided in 5 types; quick, single, campaign, online(coop), online(dogfight).
Of these, only co-op and dogfight are for multiplayer (online) play.
Most campaigns have (or should have imho) a read- me document that explains how to install.
