Just asking, is starting a new character now going to leave me annoyed and feeling like a little brother tagging along or is new character progression pretty forgiving?

The gameplay itself is in missions where it's up to 4 of you, co-op, against the enemy hordes. Sometimes you're trying to blow up an enemy installation, or launch a missile, or whatever. About 40 minutes or less where there's only 4 "good guys"

The part where it feels like worldwide co-op is that every mission someone wins or fails contributes to the shared global conflict. So we all have some order to defend a planet that is under siege by our enemies, and so the community all does missions on that planet to attempt to rescue it from the attack, etc.
