The story is better than the first, but it's nothing to brag about.

Some sniper rifles will be able to kill enemies in one shot, but not tougher enemies and bosses.

I prefer PvE as well - the game does a good job of seamlessly working with others in things like public events. I generally don't play co-op stuff, but its probably my favorite part of the game.

Can I drag my co-op partner through the story, or is that solo only?

I'm pretty sure you can co-op, but not 100% positive. I know there are sections where there are other players around, so I would think so.
