A student banquet: that's what this premium downloadable content pack offers to long-standing Bad Company 2 players. It's when you can't afford to go to the supermarket, having splurged your spending money on cheap booze and ironic t-shirts, so you use up whatever leftovers and ingredients you have lingering in the fridge, mix them together in a slightly different way and bung it all in the oven. The result may stop your stomach rumbling, but it'll never delight the palate
XMNR: Still rocking Battlefield: Bad Company 2 on your Xbox 360 in anticipation of Battlefield 3? Good news then as add-on content like Vietnam and Onslaught mode are on sale this week as part of the Xbox LIVE Deal of the week.
I understand the reasoning for this, because I see a huge influx of people on Modern Warfare 2 now in preparation for Modern Warfare 3.
The only issue is, Bad Company games don't play like the Battlefield games at all, so it's not like you can prep for Battlefield 3 by playing Bad Company 2.
Don't know if I'm pissed that this didn't happen sooner or just mad they haven't released any details on when BF3 beta will be.
They've said September for the BF3 beta. It is now September. Should be within the next couple of weeks.
yeah ill need to find out if i can get a beta code .
i had to email ubisoft twice to get an assasins creed beta code for ps3, first time they thought i wanted a code for xbox, so i had to email back to say i wanted a ps3 beta code. but i would prefer to try bf3 on xbox.
IncGamers' Tim McDonald delves into the warzone with the new Onslaught DLC for Battlefield Bad Company 2.
From the review:
"In case you missed the aforementioned disjointed ramblings, the premise is that you and three chums take on a limitless supply of AI bots in a game mode that can be lazily described as Conquest combined with Rush. Because I'm not that lazy, I'll elaborate: you and your pals advance on a series of control points – unlocked one at a time – and need to clear the surrounding area and then defend against enemy reinforcements until each point is captured. If you die, you can respawn on any surviving squad member, but if every member of your squad is dead at the same time, you lose."
I would have guessed on at least 7.5. There you see what media does: Gives you bloated hopes :)
the score makes sense, lacking in single player isn't the biggest thing in the world but if you can't play with 1 mate, then the amount of time you'll be playing with random /b/tards will be great.
I love BFBC2 and have been playing it probably more than any other game recently and I got the Onslaught DLC. It's fun but probably not worth the $10.
After I beat each level on normal and hardcore and got the trophies there isn't much else reason to play it. You don't progress like in normal multiplayer so I just end up playing that.
If I hadn't gotten all that free stuff with my VIP code I probably would have not jumped at the $10 DLC.
Always a shitty feeling when you pay for DLC and you just download a 100kb file to unlock what is pretty much already in the game you bought.
There’s a touch of controversy surrounding “Onslaught Mode,” Battlefield: Bad Company 2’s DLC, that needs to be cleared up. Yes, the download is a mere 956 KB. No, you’re not paying to unlock disc-based content. It’s part of the Multiplayer Update #2 patch that you’ll be automatically prompted to download when you start up the game. Is it odd that, should you never buy “Onslaught Mode,” the content will still eat up precious space on your harddrive? Yes. Now, if you weren’t someone angrily posting on a forum, sorry for the PSA. Keep reading to learn more about the mode in action.
I will not be wasting my money on this dlc crap.
