Bad Company 2 trailers reveal Squad Rush DLC, campaign

Bad Company 2 trailers reveal Squad Rush DLC, campaign

A fresh pair of trailers just arrived for Battlefield: Bad Company 2, one detailing the single player mode, the other giving us another peek into the multiplayer.

First we'll go over Squad Rush mode. This one pits four against four in a one crate/two base infantry only version of the "Rush" mode.

Squad Rush will be DLC, and exclusive for 30 days to North Americans (and invited friends) who pre-order from GameStop. After that, we're assuming it will be free to all. Those outside North America can download it with no special action necessary at launch. You'll also be able to invite any friends in North America. PC gamers won't see any exclusive access functionality; the mode will be freely available to all.

Check Squad Rush in action:

Next is the campaign. Given BC2 launches pretty soon, you'd have thought by now the game is a multiplayer-only experience. This isn't the case, and the first media for the single player mode is here. The footage is pretty solid, although the plot goes with a pretty thin "they're building a terrible weapon; we must stop it" premise.

We're assuming like Modern Warfare 2, much of the resources are going into the multiplayer, which would make sense had the MP-only Battlefield 1943 not launched last year (and to solid reviews, though serious bug reports too).

Anyhow, check the video (be warned there's cussin'):
