DICE Drops Dozens of Details About Battlefield 3′s Co-op

DICE has been pretty hush-hush on the co-op aspect of Battlefield 3. Today on the US Playstation Blog, Jr. Product Manager, Tommy Rydling gave up a bunch of details regarding co-op.

“For the most part, the missions in the co-op campaign are asymmetric. This means that one mission can have you piloting a helicopter while your friend is the gunner, for example. Other situations have one player disarming a bomb and the other one defending him. Or (as you could see in our press conference playthrough at gamescom) you can do tandem kills to avoid detection. There are also other mechanics requiring teamwork, such as spotting enemies to make large firefights easier, or the essential concept of reviving one another to avoid ending up at the game over screen.”

There’s a ton of info to go over, including the scoring systems, difficulty levels, and career progression. For all the juicy details, check out the PlayStation Blog linked above.
