wasn't really expecting a co-op mode, although it would be nice.

Good. Co op was crappy in bf3
And you had to play them multiple times to unlock guns.

I'm glad, focus more on SP and MP.

Do you know how hard it is to design all those cutscenes with co-op in mind?

You mean I won't be able to play the great campaign with my friends? No anything but that.

Seems like I'm the only one that enjoyed them :lol
G3A3 was the only worthwhile one though. And it was lame of them to stick weapons behind such a shitty mode. Most boring co-op Ive ever played.

No women in multiplayer, so Wii U, and no coop. Were they rushed?

QTE's and scripted sequences don't play well with 2 players. Lord knows they wouldn't dream of making any campaign content without those critical elements.
Probably. Gotta get something ready for next gen consoles to compete with Call of Duty and Killzone.

Couldn't even bring myself to do that.

Ugh, co-op campaign please, nothing could make the SP any worse than it is in its current state.
The helicopter mission was pretty good. It was way better than the two or three other missions I played. I pretty much just replayed that one a bunch to unlock the guns. Also, it was great for getting the basics of how to handle the heli without doing it in multiplayer and pissing off your teammates or dodging jets and stuff.

DICE could do something really special with BF, a non-scripted open battlefield (zomg its even in the name) 4+ player co-op campaign would really set it apart from COD. 4 player co-op games like Borderlands are hot shit right now, they're stupid to not strike while the iron is hot.
I think that in part has to do with the fact that there were no proper flight sections in the single-player. If BF4 seeks to remedy that, I'd be pleased.
Yes, you can!
No.
Holy shit the game comes out this fall and you're asking those sort of questions... And i'm 100% sure that you won't be able to buy just the MP.
I don't think it was a serious question.
They were sharing their desires in the form of a question. I, too, would like to buy just the multiplayer.
I'm curious because BF3 had 2 discs. So I didn't know if they were going to have some crazy MP only strategy with getting rid of CO-OP.

I really hope local Co-Op makes a return big time next gen. The 1080p ''standard'' goes a long way improving the experience and even the poor Wii U could have Gamepad+TV screen co op. Too bad I fully expect it to be even more forgotten part of FPS goodness next gen .

I didn't until I read that, not much lost then I guess.
Anyone who thought that either Battlefield 3 or Battlefield 4 was coming to the Wii U...

Splitscreen multiplayer with bots would make me so happy or something like the onslaught DLC from Bad Company 2.

Not sure if this warrants its own thread, since it could very well be BS. But I got a tip from a reader that shows UK retailer Zavvi listing BF4 for "September 13, 2013" release.
I've contacted EA for a response, too.
Here's the image.
Before anyone asks, I'm fairly certain games are released on Fridays in the UK, right? So it what do you guys think?

Will there be a singleplayer then? I hope not. I would take those coop missions over SP any day of the week.

Zavvi like to speculate, I wouldn't read too much into it.

I love co-op, but half the missions in BF3 were lackluster and the mode was abandoned after launch.

I couldn't say myself better. Good decision IMO.
I second this motion. Separate *cheaper* MP only SKU ftw!
Helicopter mission was good because it allowed you to learn how to fly them without having to suffer the frustration and embarrassment of doing it in a full multiplayer match.
I remember one person I got partnered with crashed immediately a couple times. I sent him a message to put on a mic and then I kind of just patiently talked him through it til he started getting the hang of it and could finish the mission. I did it because I felt bad as there's no other way the game teaches you to do it.
I really hope they address that for BF4. They need to have flying sections in the single-player part so newcomers can get a bit of experience before heading into multiplayer. Its annoying to be in a proper match and you fill up with people in a support copter and the pilot just slams into the ground in 5 seconds because they are inexperienced and have no other way to learn.
