THE BUZZ: Fredrik Thylander, Senior Designer at DICE, revealed that the playing through Battlefield 3′s co-op mode will unlock guns for use in other multiplayer modes.

“There’s about 6 or so guns for various classes (or all) to be gotten for MP from playing coop. Like the M39 EBR,” he said on Twitter.

When asked if the guns could be accessed without playing co-op he replied: “No, but they’ve been carefully selected to make sure there are other, similar, pieces of equipment available through pure MP.”

EGM’s TAKE: DICE is offering an incentive to take the time to play through Battlefield 3′s co-op mode should make a few more fans interested.
