Battlefield 3 Co-op game doesn't launch

It was fine a couple of weeks ago when I tried to play co-op mode but recently my game just doesn't launch. The cursor gives me the "something is loading" icon, but then after some seconds nothing happens. THIS DOESN'T HAPPEN IN CAMPAIGN OR MULTIPLAYER, ONLY CO-OP. THE GAME LAUNCHES FINE WHEN I LAUNCH THOSE. IT'S ONLY CO-OP THAT DOESN'T LAUNCH.

I checked the task manager and it shows both the BF3webhelper and BF3 processes running in the background, but it doesn't show me a window on my screen or anything. It just says "Waiting for player to join" and nothing happens for hours. I play through Origin.

I tried the following:

- New directory path

- Repairing the game

- DDU nvidia drivers and reinstall them

- Turning off and on cloud synchronization

- Multiple browsers

- Running game as administrator

Someone please help I really enjoy playing co-op it was so fun. It's a shame that EA left co-op to rot like this.

    @TEAMWORK_OR_QUIT Whenever you get issues with Co-op it's usually a problem on either or both ends of the connection. I tried playing with someone recently and was unable do so, but this person was able to play normally with someone else. Maybe it's my ISP doing some crappy protocol/port management, as they have messed up before.

    I did not troubleshoot further since I've already completed the missions long ago, I was just trying to help.

    Co-op is hard to get a game going, I think I only managed to paly with randoms a couple times, otherwise it just hangs tryign to connect. I had better luck with starting a co-op game with players in my friend list, then it seems to work fine.

    my issue is though that the game doesn't launch at all. Is that supposed to happen? Because I remember if correctly even if it's matchmaking the game will run in the background
