Battlefield: Bad Company 2’s first big expansion Vietnam comes out this Winter.
The expansion features four new maps that are fully compatible with BFBC2’s MP modes, including Conquest, six new vehicles, 15 Vietnam War-based weapons, and a rocking 60s soundtrack.
Battlefield: Bad Company 2 Onslaught mode can be played with up to four players across four multiplayer maps Valparaiso, Atacama Desert, Isla Inocentes and Nelson Bay redesigned with new lighting, time of day, added vehicles and other effects. Each map has a dedicated gameplay focus, requiring different levels of teamwork in order to complete the objectives against an onslaught of enemy AI. Vehicle warfare comes to the forefront in Atacama Desert while Nelson Bay focuses squarely on infantry assault. Players can compete in squads and check individual progress via the dedicated Onslaught leaderboards.
This Wednesday, Bad Company 2 community managers invite you and your squad to showcase your skills against EA’s very own Bad Company! The EA team is looking for a good fight, so be sure to log in and prepare for some smack talk. Xbox Live Gold subscription required.
I have a love and hate relationship with Battlefield: Bad Company 2. I love the combat, the beautiful animation which displays war in all its grisly beauty, and I adore the weapons. Hell, I even love the single player campaign, which brings back Haggard, Marlowe, Sweetwater and the always grumpy Sarge back together again. I loves it, I tells ya! But I do not love EA’s constant clusterfuck of server problems.
