Battlefield Bad Company 2: Onslaught Mode
EA and DICE will soon be releasing a new coop multiplayer mode for Bad Company 2 called "Onslaught". This will be the first time that a Battlefield game will have a coop mode. The mode will be available at the In-Game Store of Bad Company 2 for the Xbox 360 and PS3. Technical problems are preventing DICE from launching a PC version, but the folks at DICE say they are working on it.
There is no information yet about pricing, but it looks like VIP gamers (those who bought the game brand new) will not be getting this mode for free. I checked the In-Game Store, and the VIP logo is not marked for this mode. My guess is, this will sell for somewhere in between $5 and $10.
The following are details from the official Battlefield Bad Company 2 website:
Expanding the Battlefield: Bad Company™ 2 online multiplayer experience, Onslaught Mode delivers the first online co-op Battlefield action to PS3 and Xbox 360.
Up to 4 players can team up and put their squad skills to the test across 4 enhanced multiplayer maps, fighting against enemy land, sea, and air forces such as the new Mark V SPECACT boat.

ReplyDeleteLooks like it won't be free.
ReplyDeleteEA is definitely going to try to milk as much money out of this and every other game they publish because they haven't posted a profit in a long time.
