I guess the reason is Consoles are set up for multiple Controllers and normally used at the TV,
PCs are set up with one Controller (Mouse/ Keyboard) and on a Desk, so most people would use one Console with two or more players but one PC for every Player.
Now-a-days they can't expect that to be the case.
More and more people are using bigger monitors to play games on, and even PC players (MAY) use an XBOX controller for some games.
There are wireless mice and keyboards, and even products that allow you to take it (to the couch) and use those devices in front of the big screen.
SO. They should just ENABLE this option, since it's already there in the first place.
I have a 45 inch 4K HDR TV attached to my PC and I also use xbox controllers for gaming. I need a PC for work and I also want gaming. This works out more economical and more powerful than having a PC for work and an xbox one for games. Now that I have forked out for this great gaming rig I am petty miffed that EA/DICE have skimped on the PC version of the game. I used to work as a games developer and I can tell rght now there is no technical or economical reason for this as all the code sits in to of Direct X and Windows for both PC and xbox. I would like an explanation. I hace pre-ordered and am already dissapointed as in addition to this unexplainable omision, there is also no single player star fighter mode. Whats up with that, are DICE programmers incapable of coding AI or something?
As a footnote Direct X was originally concived by Microsoft as an abstraction layer between different hardware running windows and games software to irradicate any such technical issues, and regardless of that the coop feature has no hardware dependancies any way. So there is no reason for it not to be there except they have decided to turn it off. PLEASE TURN IT ON. I doubt they would even need to recompile the code as its may just be a flag in a config file that need changing from 0 to 1. Why dont they tell us where that is and we can do it our selves.

Waheed75 I know that feel haha, personally I've never bought a console and I look back on the money I've saved not paying for Live or buying a whole new console each time! The best you can do is find a good price (I got Battlefront 2 for about 40 pounds, so bought again for my sister's account) and just play online with that. Maybe they'll allow friend-play in the future, given at the end of the campaign it says "Iden's story will continue in multiplayer" so we'll have to wait till next month and see what they do with the DLC. For now though, I just hope they can fix the annoying lag that started on Saturday!
