No Split Screen Co Op in Battlefield 3
Sorry, theres no chance of you and your boy Augusto playing split-screen co-op in Battlefield 3. Yup, if you wanna play with Augusto (you do, hes a cool dude!) then hes going to have to get his own copy and play with you from the confines of his own apartment. The good news is that you wont have to smell each others unwashed bodies as you play for 13 hours straight.
Speaking to GamingLives, DICEs Karl Magnus Troedsson confirmed the bad news, stating that there would be no split-screen co-op support whatsoever in the game -- not even for the new co-op campaign. Troedsson also said Battlefield 3 would ship with six maps for the co-op campaign, as opposed to the rumored ten maps. "Naturally, you will recognize some of the elements," Troedsson said in regards to the co-op campaign, "but they are built specifically for the co-op with all the scripting, events and everything."
