However good your mic, however reliable your connection, having to push a thought through the language centres of two brains often proves too slow to, for example, warn a teammate about the flash of a sniper’s scope before the bullet has entered their skull. Actions speak faster than words, and Operation: Tango is the latest asymmetric co-op puzzler to make a virtue of this friction.
