Battlefield Bad Company 2 Multiplayer Maps

Bad Company 2 will feature plenty of maps right out of the box. 8 Rush maps have been confirmed by DICE Lead Exec. David Goldfarb. So far, we know about 10 maps in total. 2 of these maps could be conquest only maps, while the other 8 are full fledged rush maps. In Bad Company 1, we saw existing Rush maps converted into "Conquest" maps and available later on via DLC. This time around, "Conquest" will be available right out of the box, as well as competitive game-mode, "Squad Deathmatch." Below are all of the confirmed maps we have until Launch Day.

"In Bad Company 1, we saw existing Rush maps converted into “Conquest” maps and available later on via DLC."

Well, actually four of them were locations taken from the singleplayer part of the game that had not yet been made into maps even for Gold Rush. Just saying...

SilentNegotiator5208d ago

Either way, the first game lacked in MP maps. They BETTER give us a lot to start with this time.

kratos1235208d ago

lol cant you read there already 9 maps that are confirmd and thats alot if you ask me and there will be a lot of dlc i just cant wait fore this

willie325207d ago

all game companies would create at least 20 MP maps when a game is released. There should be a standard set by the industry.

jjohan355207d ago

I have no idea why DICE keeps pushing for Rush mode/maps. Conquest has always been more popular on their battlefield games and that's what I want, CONQUEST MAPS.

I want to buy this, Heavy Rain, Bioshock 2. All before Gof of war 3 release. Bioshock 2 may have to wait for a price drop.

1233605208d ago

after the demo,its a no buy this will be the first time i don,t get BBC i,m sticking with mag.

PinkUni5208d ago

after seeing the battlefield moments ep1 way back and then watching the single player with the huge draw distance i was thinking, man this is a must buy

and during the demo i was like, wow this game is great, bullets are affected by gravity, and the sounds are so great

but then the gameplay started getting boring, and the graphics just didnt look as good as i was expecting them to look

when i played mag, its almost a different game every time, because of the amount of people that are playing creates almost an extreme sort of randomness where you dont know how long its going to take to get something done, and the fact of having the platoon leaders and such makes me want to use my mic

Sm0k3y_Bac0n5208d ago

I can see where your coming from but i disagree with MAG being better. Its bigger and there can be more going on at once, but when i played it i didnt find it as fun as the BFBC beta. The graphics aren't amazing on MAG, which is understandable considering the 256 player maps, and IMO the gameplay isnt as good as in BFBC2.

Then again theres one thing we can all agree on BFBC2>MW2

Throwaway20205208d ago

Although I was definitely let down by the graphics since they were compared to uncharted's. Unless they meant the single-player, but we don't have a demo to judge, for that.

frankymv5208d ago

I hope the final MP version looks better than the demo out now though.

Ghostsmoker5208d ago

can't wait! It's been a long time since a was hyped for a game that much.

dredgewalker5208d ago

I enjoyed the demo, its fun to ride in a tank and blast buildings to pieces. Its refreshing to see the terrain change when everyone goes all out and i think i will enjoy the full version more.

I just started playing Spec op. I've had it for years on steam and forgot about it. Such a good game.

EvertonFC78d ago (Edited 78d ago )

Fantastic game,.so underated

Cacabunga78d ago

Yes great game spec ops! Since the time we’ve been asking sony to make one:/

Auto Modelista.. a PS2 capcom racer!! A blast to play and great graphics!
Maximo!
Rival Schools!

LordoftheCritics78d ago

Spec Ops: The Line was super dark.

Incredible story.

SheenuTheLegend78d ago

all the games in the above list are bang on. this is the only reason we need backwards compatibility and physical presense of games for the upcoming future, no matter what.

Yi-Long78d ago

Honorable mention to the excellent Driveclub, one of the best racing games of all-time and one of my favourite games ever.

melons78d ago

yes! incredible rain effects; so good to drive along in rain with your Spotify playlist blaring

Skuletor78d ago

I really wanted a MotorStorm using the same engine, Driveclub is easily one of the best looking games on PS4 and I'm surprised they didn't even give it a PS4 Pro patch.

ravens5278d ago

Yes indeed. May just install it on my PS5. You know, physical copy and all.

monkey60277d ago

I adored Driveclub and the Bike expansion. I also loved Motorstorm. Evolution shutting down was a crime

darthv7278d ago

Outrun Online Arcade, Sega Rally Online Arcade, After Burner Climax... all good stuff. I keep my 360 hooked up to play these as well as the TMNT games that were also delisted.

Skuletor78d ago

I have quite a few of these. Timed licenses suck.

Terry_B78d ago (Edited 78d ago )

wow...I have all of them except the Nintendo ones either in physical or digital version.

Also..Deadpool the Game is missing on that list.

OtterX153d ago

I had no idea that Bad Company 2 was still running, and only now that I know, I want to jump on! 😥

SonyStyled152d ago

I was able to find games in the Vietnam dlc on ps3 the last week. There were articles on here about the server closure when it was announced in April

DaReapa152d ago

BF1943 is the only online MP game that I was genuinely interested in. Been playing since launch 14 years ago. Hate that I couldn't put in as much time to play as I'd hoped for during the final week.

Inverno152d ago

I got really into 43 when I bought Bf3, and preferred it. Everything that I disliked or found annoying about Bf3, wasn't an issue in 43. Too bad they never bothered releasing it on PS4 or PC.

1nsomniac152d ago (Edited 152d ago )

Dead Space 2...... I wasn't even aware that had multiplayer. Nevermind that it was apparently one of their best multiplayers!

anast151d ago

Once people stop buying micros, these companies close the doors.

Xenial151d ago

Dead Space 2 multiplayer had been hanging on for years - I'd boot my PS3 up to see some familiar names in lobbies. This will definitely be missed!

Battlefield Legacy - Sunsetting Announcement

EA: "As we close in on 15 years since the release of Battlefield 1943, and Bad Company™ 1 & 2, we are announcing that their journey is coming to an end."

darthv72416d ago

This reminds me... I have ME on my PS3 hdd. Never really played it, but it was free.

XiNatsuDragnel416d ago

Digital future ppl is good they say nope imo

Eidolon416d ago

And it still says nothing about being able to downloaded even when it's off the storefront, that's a huge ouchie for some who somehow still have it in their backlog...

Shane Kim416d ago

Dont make it an issue when it's not. If you haven't played it in 15 years, chances are you'll never play it.

isarai416d ago

That all digital future sure looks great!

/s

zidane1341416d ago (Edited 416d ago )

Online game servers shut off eventually all the time. Doesn’t matter if you have the disc or not. Even if you have the disc, it’ll be just paperweight unless the game lets you connect directly to a friend or LAN play.

isarai416d ago (Edited 416d ago )

Read the article bro. They are delisting the games, including mirrors edge which is an offline game. Online servers i can understand, not being able to buy/download the games anymore? Completely separate issue, especially seeing as how some these games had lengthy sp campaigns and not just mp.

zidane1341416d ago

@israrai, you can still buy the disc for less then 10$. Hardly a loss.

TheEnigma313416d ago

You shouldn't have to buy the disc, that's the issue.

OhReginald415d ago (Edited 415d ago )

Some brilliant minds created servers to keep these old online games alive. A lot of ps2 and ps3 games that had there servers shut down a long time ago have been restored by fans to keep it going. Warhawk, killzone 2, socom 2/ confrontation, resident evil outbreak series, etc.

DankSinatra415d ago

The disc still exist. I don’t understand the issue. You guys are upset about that “all digital future” yet these games are not “digital only”. Hell digital only is a minority in the gaming world and so far we haven’t moved into it, the only digital only games are games as a service or online only games, which end up failing in the end.

This is no different than a store that stops selling old games, just go and buy a copy somewhere else. So which is it, you hate all digital or you like it? Make up your mind.

isarai415d ago

Talk about missing the point entirely. I'm not going to sit here and explain it to you, figure it out.

DankSinatra415d ago

Talk about whining about something and not wanting to explain from an off handed sarcastic original comment.

I got the point just fine. You’re literally complaining about something that has an easy alternative to it.

ManMarmalade415d ago

I don't think you got the point

DankSinatra415d ago (Edited 415d ago )

@ManMarmalade

No I got it, it has to do with the push towards a future of all digital and reprocussions of losing games. Something I already stayed that hasn’t happened nor is it large enough right now to cause any issues as the games that are all digital are online only to begin with or make up the minority of games

So I’ll say it again, the disc still exists for these games that are over a decade old and can still be played easily. You guys are contradicting the whole “we don’t want a digital only future” crying when the dude I originally responded to stated:

“Read the article bro. They are delisting the games, including mirrors edge which is an offline game. Online servers i can understand, not being able to buy/download the games anymore? Completely separate issue, especially seeing as how some these games had lengthy sp campaigns and not just mp.“

So again, which is it? Do you hate all digital or do you want it?

Inverno416d ago

On PC I don't think it's much of a problem but I'm sad to see BF43 being shut down. I haven't played it in a while since it's stuck on PS3, but i preferred it way more over BF3. It was the lack of invisible barriers which made it better for me.

badz149416d ago

BFBC2 was still the best overall package offered by the franchise so far IMO

porkChop416d ago

Absolutely. BC2 was such a great game. It's a shame we never got BC3.

P_Bomb415d ago

I had a great run on Bad Company 2. Pound for pound, as solid a BF package as there’s been.

InUrFoxHole416d ago

Does anyone play the last BF anymore? I searched crossplay servers and it was 20 people the most on all the servers? Can never find a game

SonyStyled416d ago

The last BC you mean? I was still able to find 10v10 on ps3 2 years ago on NA servers during the evenings. I have all the free and paid dlc installed, but there want any matches in the Vietnam dlc.
