Bad Company 2 has gotten a new iPhone app, which offers lots of information about BC2. Called the “Bad Company 2 Ultimate Utility App”, it offers loads of information on kits, weapons, maps and so on. Sadly, there isn’t a feature to view your stats and awards. The good new is, it’s free.

DICE has released a brand new Bad Company 2 wallpaper, base don the new Onslaught mode (which PC users unfortunately won’t have). Click the image for the full sized wallpaper (1920 x 1200).
