Battlefield Bad Company 2's Onslaught co-op mode confirmed for PC

PC players of Battlefield Bad Company 2 were understandably miffed when the console players of the recent military shooter got a chance to access a new co-op gameplay mode, Onslaught, a few weeks ago. At the time, the development team at Digital Illusions said there would be issues if too many 32 player dedicated servers switched over to the four player Onslaught mode.

Well it seems whatever issues DICE had have been resolved. PC Gamer is reporting that the Onslaught mode will indeed be made available for the PC version. Four of the game's maps (Valparaiso, Atacama Desert, Isla Inocentes, and Nelson Bay) will be redesigned to work with the new co-op mode. There's no word on when the Onslaught mode will be released or if PC gamers will have to pay to download it like the console versions.

Now DICE, about Battlefield 1943 for the PC . . . .when is that game coming out?

Wonder if this will make peace with PC gamers for being treated like crap by Dice. Super late patches (2+ months) and Onslaught mode confirmed, but a ways off from what it looks like.

Answer? No. I stopped playing it many weeks ago while waiting for the patch, haven't bothered playing it since the patch, won't bother now with Onslaught either.

If I had known PC wasn't going to be treated on equal ground with consoles, I would've picked up the console version of the game instead of PC. I guess I fell for the Dice marketing, "don't like MW2's treatment of PC gamers? Pre-order Bad Company 2", etc etc.Posted at 12:23PM on Jul 13th 2010 by TB

@TB It really sucks that companies don't seem to have any respect for PC these days... but I feel like, at this point, I'll just be happy with any respect, even if it is delayed. I guess I've just gotten used to it... but if DICE made such a big deal with treating PC gamers fairly, they should definitely follow up on it.Posted at 1:06PM on Jul 13th 2010 by Nerdman

I am tired of companies treating pc gamers like shit. It used to be pc gamers got the best version of a game. Better graphics, more options, expandability options, better control, and more content. Now, we get 3rd rate console ports because it's better money to simply develope one console version, and port it to everything.

The Ghostbusters game, while a great game in itself, got royally shafted. They dropped out a game with console-like control which can't be adjusted on the pc and had problems, optimization issues, and completely ripped out the multiplayer. Then, absolutely no patch to fix anything. The developer just abandoned it. Even the console versions got patched.Posted at 11:30AM on Jul 17th 2010 by Drakkenfyre
