Finally, after a few weeks of rumors and deliberation, DICE has confirmed that the new Onslaught mode will be coming to the PC version of Bad Company 2 as well. The news was confirmed in PC Gamer, where it seems it’ll be the same Onslaught mode that exists for consoles, only ported to the PC, with the same four maps: Valparaiso, Atacama Desert, Isla Inocentes, and Nelson Bay. Also, since Onslaught for consoles is a paid DLC, expect to pay for it for the PC as well. Price: $10.

The new Onslaught mode is now available to PS3 owners of Bad Company 2, while the Xbox 360 version is apparently going through some red tape and will be available in a few days. The new DLC costs $10.

EA has revealed that the new “Onslaught” game mode will be available on June 22, and will cost $10. As expected, it’s only for the PS3 and Xbox 360, as a PC version has been ruled out.

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).

The new game mode for Bad Cmpany 2, Onslaught, has received a lot of attention, and we finally get to see how it works, as in the video above, DICE producer Bjorn Johnsson explains.

DICE has announced a new DLC for Bad Company 2, which includes a new mode called “Onslaught”. However, the announcement is only for the console versions of Bad Company 2, and the new mode and DLC will not find its way to the PC. The reason? As DICE’s Barry Tingle says:

“The problem we have on PC is that all our servers are dedicated with providers. Changing a server from Conquest 32 players to Onslaught 4 players cuts out 28 player slots from the total amount available. This could have a dramatic affect on the PC online environment if enough servers changed to Onslaught.”

Tingle added that they’re looking into bringing the new mode to PC without affecting how many player slots are available. They do face a legitimate problem: if enough servers converted from 32 players to 4 player onslaught modes, there simply wouldn’t be enough lots for everyone to play.
