DICE general manager Karl Magnus Troedsson has revealed fresh details on Battlefield 3's newly revealed co-op mode.
There'll be different difficulty levels and achievements, and each map should take between 20 and 50 minutes to play through.
He also confirmed co-op won't support split-screen play, so it's an online-only affair.
Last night, an "expert jury of national and international media, press, and trade representatives" voted Battlefield 3 'Best of Gamescom'. It's not hard to see why when you watch the trailer EA put out earlier this week showing off 64-player action - including jet fights - on a map called Caspian Border.

I know I'm an old fart - but won't the game support LAN play?
I know, consoles can't do that either, but we're still 4-5 guys out here that use those old PC-systems. The support-for-64-players-full-HD-awesome-eyecandy things that are almost obsolete... you've no doubt heard of them
No, seriously - LAN is still the best way to enjoy coop gaming. Try out L4D with 3 mates around a table..

So it's kinda like BFBC2's Onslaught mode. I'm ok with that.

Yeah, It's a pity Onslaught mode wasn't included with the game at launch, as the third mission (Atacama) is great for practicing flying the gunships.

People play in the same room together, splitscreening??
I thought this was a dead tradition of videogaming??!, and that the Call of Duty splitscreens where only used for one person -- using the splitscreen as a portable camera!

Some people have these thing's called real friends, they go round each others houses to play games and go to the pub together and stuff.

Yeah, split screen is pants, I've got bad eye sight as it is and can't see a thing when I'm playing on a quarter of a 32" tv.

woah woah woah...they've left our a feature that's been a staple point of multiplayer gaming since the snes days, and possibly beyond, and people are fine with this? are you that blinded by the graphical abilities of this game that you'll turn a blind eye to this.
i bet if this was announced in MW3, you'd all be up in arms.
