EA Brings Co-Op To The Battlefield
Today EA announced that they were expanding the multiplayer experience of Battlefield: Bad Company 2 by adding an all-new "Onslaught" mode that brings co-op gameplay to the Battlefield franchise for the very first time on console. This new mode will be available on Xbox LIVE and the PlayStation Network, although an exact release date and pricing was not yet available.
"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."
Onslaught mode can be played by up to four players on four separate multiplayer maps — Valparaiso, Atacama Desert, Isla Inocentes, and Nelson Bay. The maps have been redesigned with new lighting, time of day, different vehicles and other effects. Each level will also have a dedicated gameplay focus, requiring different strategies to complete the objectives. Like Atacama Desert focusing on vehicular warfare while Nelson Bay focuses on infantry assault. You can compete in squads and check your own individual progress on the Onslaught leaderboards.
