Battlefield: Bad Company 2 "Onslaught Mode" Confirmed for PC Release
by Brian Leahy, Jul 13, 2010 1:50pm PDTThe 4-player co-op "Onslaught" mode (Preview) in DICE's Battlefield: Bad Company 2 has been confirmed for release on the PC version of the game, according to PC Gamer.
Four maps (Atacama Desert, Isla Inocentes, Nelson Bay, Valparaiso) have been converted to support the single-squad gameplay against AI enemies, in an approximation of the game's "Rush" gameplay mode. The DLC has previously been available as paid content on the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 versions of the game.
A trailer for the mode can be viewed below.
While this serves as a confirmation that the mode will hit the PC, details are still light. Shacknews has reached out to EA to find out if "Onslaught" will be paid or free on the PC and if dedicated servers will be required or if the game now supports peer-to-peer networking. A response was not available at this time.

Does anyone else find that the weapons are far too accurate? A machine gun can snipe cross the map.

I'm not saying playing against bots can't be fun, I just expect most servers running this mode will be empty and dev time has been wasted for the vocal few.
