"old" co-op inaccessible with DLC?

Hi there,

okay, bear with me please. I just got Portal 2 after that DLC was released. I installed it and Steam automatically installed the DLC as an update. When I started the game and tried the co-op mode (after playing some single-player), there is no option to choose which maps I want to play. I can play the "Peer review" setting (which is the name of the DLC levels, isn't it?) but there is no way to choose the "old" co-op maps instead (which I have seen on YouTube reviews etc.). I'm pretty certain I'm missing something obvious here but I don't see, what...

TIA

Go to the hub. You can redundantly solve the "old" cooperative testing courses at your leisure.

Something funny I found was that Valve saved the lobby with the DLC as a new map. So there is mp_coop_lobby_2 (release) and mp_coop_lobby_3 (DLC).

But yeah, you can just enter the lobby and go into the original coop chambers.

They've done to to ensure compatibility with PS3ers who don't have the Peer Review DLC downloaded.

It's even more funny what they did to the original lobby

What's in the 1st lobby? The 5 doors from the trailer?

Yep, what they did to the old hub, nothing, is funnier. XD
