(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); Battlefield 3 is all about the multiplayer; more specifically, the competitive multiplayer. It's where most of the fun and addicting moments are had. It's so fun and addicting, in fact, that it's all too easy to forget about the two other modes BF3 offers: single player and co-op. Personally, I really enjoyed the SP experience, but I can easily see why gamers would want to forgo it in order to spend more time unlocking sweet stuff in the competitive MP. However, you may have noticed by now that some of the sweetest stuff you can unlock in the MP is only achievable through the co-op game mode. This is possible by accumulating high scores with your partner throughout the 6 missions that are initially available.

At first, this sounds like a reasonable attempt to entice players to try co-op with others, until you realize exactly how much time you need to spend here in order to unlock some of the later MP weapons. For example, if we take the engineer's SG553, you'll notice it takes 378000 co-op points to unlock while the total XP points needed for the engineer's first service star is only 145000. It would make sense if we were forced to earn that many points with the engineer class in the MP, but instead, we are forced to grind in the co-op. And, let's be honest here, no one should have to play each co-op mission more than once or twice in order to unlock every weapon. There are just simply more important things to do in Battlefield 3.

On to some interesting news. If you've been neglecting the co-op, but still have the intention to eventually unlock those weapons, it might be a good idea to hold off for a while. Fredrik Thylander, Senior Designer at DICE, was recently asked if it was intentional that we would have to grind this much in order to unlock those weapons. He surprisingly responded, "nope. And its getting nerfed." No further details have been provided, but it looks like we'll finally soon be seeing more players with the G3A3 on the battlefield. This will most likely come in the form of a patch which seems to already be in the works.

This is good news. I tried Co-op once because of the guns, but gave up because it takes too long.

Thank god, the rex was totally worth the 40k though
