No local co-op for Battlefield 3
Co-op play is online only
Old-school co-op is a no-go for Battlefield 3. DICE general manager Karl Troedsson confirmed the game’s co-op multiplayer, which debuted Monday, is online only.
“No, it has to be online to do it,” said Troedsson to GamingLives when asked if players could play co-op games locally.
Co-op in Battlefield 3 features six maps, each varying between 15-45 minutes in length, depending on which map you play, the difficulty, etc. Each co-op map features random elements, meaning you may come across new enemies and other events on a second playthrough.
Battlefield 3 launches for PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, and PC in October.
Thanks, TVGB.

I’m old school, so this annoys me.
Nothing wrong with old school split screen co-op people! Why do all these developers keep cutting this from games?
Sometimes you don’t have internet access, remember when psn was down? And, sometimes you just want to sit on the couch with a buddy and play the game together.
Playing with a friend right next to you is the best way to do it if you ask me. That’s how Nintendo gets all it’s sales right now and how everyone used to do it b4 online.
Yeah I can play with my friends online (which is cool) but it’s much better when I can head down the street and play with them at their house too (CoD style).
