Shortly after revealing that Bad Company 2 had sold 5 million copies in Europe and North America, developers DICE took the opportunity to let fans know what the next set of DLC will be. It turns out they’ve been hard at work on a 4-player co-op mode, titled Onslaught.
The add-on pits you and three buddies against AI-controller opponents as you battle across four multiplayer maps – Valparaiso, Atacama Desert, Isla Inocentes, and Nelson Bay – which have been redesigned “with new lighting, time of day, added vehicles and other effects.” Each map will have it’s own gameplay focus, Atacama Desert will place a strong emphasis on vehicular combat while Nelson Bay sticks to infantry battles, for example. Players compete in squads and can be compared via the individual Onslaught leaderboards.
Announced for Xbox Live and the Playstation Network, it’s unclear if the content will make its way to PC as well.
“We’re thrilled to bring something new and fresh to Battlefield: Bad Company 2 while still keeping Battlefield’s signature gameplay intact,” says Patrick Bach, Senior Producer at DICE. “We want to consistently support the over 4 million fans playing the game with new ways to get into multiplayer and also challenge the elite players with new experiences to improve their performance online. Effective squad play is the key to success in Battlefield: Bad Company 2 multiplayer and this new mode will provide players with a dedicated environment to test their team skills and rank against the competition.”
No release date, or price, has been announced.
