Battlefield 3 Co-Op Campaign is Ten Maps for Two Players

News
Twitter facebook googlebuzz

We've been speculating a long time on what Battlefield 3's co-op campaign will be like. Nick tried to get the scoop at E3 but was denied any telling details. All roads seemingly led to a four-player campaign or series of maps, similar to Battlefield: Bad Company 2's downloadable mode, Onslaught.

Alas, executive producer Patrick Bach may have just dropped a surprise bomb on us - during an interview with PSM3 magazine he let slip that the co-op campaign will be a ten map affair for only two players. Strictly speaking in terms of co-op friendliness, Battlefield 3 would have to include local and online support just to compete with Modern Warfare 3 and its tested-and-passed Spec Ops mode.

What are your thoughts?

2 players only? At least they should let us play the main campaign. If it is a separate campaign, where is our 4 players co-op?

I wasn't even expecting a co-op campaign so this is good news.

while its good they are doing two player co-op at least I still think they are missing a huge market but not going for at least four player co-op... I mean yea they have the multiplayer to fall back on but do they not see how popular 4 player co-op games are?

On top of that, Bio, they had pretty good success with the Onslaught DLC. If the report is true, then consider me mindboggled.

4 would have been better but 2 is passable, its 1000x better than no co-op campaign.

Maybe there will still be a 4 player onslaught mode, so the 2p co-op campaign will be an added bonus.

If the 2 player co-op campaign is as exciting as the main campaign that has been shown I'll be be a very happy person...I'll still miss playing with my full 4 man team though.

I am grateful for any game that puts some co-op in it. The only reason I play games is to play with friends online. I don't play single player hardly ever anymore.

Ten maps? That doesn't really sound like a campaign at all, more like something along the lines of MW2's disappointing Spec Ops mode.

If there is split screen, then count me in. I may get MW3 but I don't know how different it will be from other games. The revamped spec ops mode seems promising but there is a game mode kind of like that in FEAR 3 which does it pretty well. Single player wise, I'm waiting for The Darkness 2!

Its a dissapointment to hear its only 2-player, would have been nice for a 4-player. I would like to hope as well for the Onslaught mode, netherless...having co-op is better than no co-op

ten maps is such a vague term, each level of a campaign mode is map but so are the multiplayer levels.

two player only suggests that it'll be a more scripted mode instead of the loose nature of onslaught mode

Too bad it isn't 4 player since that would be right for a team based co op. Oh well still want this game.
