BFBC2 Onslaught Mode Parachuting Gently Onto The PC
PC gamers have gotten their comeuppance in recent years after a golden age of self-proclaimed gaming superiority with the flourishing of the console world. A microcosm of this ongoing saga can be seen in the Battlefield series of games which for a long spell reigned supreme on the PC. With the addition of the Bad Company IP to the Battlefield series, consoles have received a lot more attention.
Case in point: The “Onslaught Mode” addition to Battlefield: Bad Company 2. This update, which will pit four players cooperatively against a horde of AI bad guys, first came to consoles back on June 22 and 23 with no plans for PC deployment.
PC players can finally rejoice, because DICE has confirmed Onslaught Mode is coming to BFBC2 on the PC. No release date or price was given, so who knows if the update will be released within the next year (we do recall something about Battlefield 1943 supposedly releasing on the PC last year and never coming about). DICE originally eschewed committing to a PC version of Onslaught, claiming concerns about public servers switching from 32-players to four.
- Bad Company 2 Sells 2.3M Copies, Probably Earns Over One Hundred Million Dollars!
- Multiplayer Cap of 9v9 Confirmed for Modern Warfare 2, DICE Declares War on Infinity Ward
- Call of Duty 7 Rumors: Titled “Black Ops;” Zombie Mode; Dedicated Servers; Turns Granite Into Gold
- Battlefield: Bad Company 2 Headed To ‘Nam
- Battlefield Bad Company 2 Multiplayer Beta Impressions (With Demo in 1080p!)
It’ll be interesting to see how well this works and how they deal with the potential server issues.
