Onslaught

thumb|300px|right|The Teaser Trailer for Onslaught gamemodeOnslaught is a cooperative gamemode for Battlefield: Bad Company 2.

Onslaught is bringing co-op gameplay to Battlefield for the first time on console. The new game mode puts 4 players against enemy AI on Valparaiso, Atacama Desert, Isla Inocentes and Nelson Bay – redesigned with new lighting, time of day, added vehicles and other effects. Each map has a dedicated gameplay focus, requiring different levels of teamwork in order to complete the objectives against an onslaught of enemy AI. Vehicle warfare comes to the forefront in Atacama Desert while Nelson Bay focuses squarely on infantry assault. Players can compete in squads and check individual progress via the dedicated Onslaught leaderboards, and will also be able to obtain new achievements and trophies. Onslaught has been available from June 22nd on the PlayStation Network in North America for $9.99, followed by the European PlayStation Network on June 23rd for €8.99/£6.99. It has become available after one downloads an update on Xbox Live by June 24th, and it has been sold since for 800 Microsoft Points.

General Objectives
Onslaught mode puts 4 players against an initial amount of enemies and often vehicles per flag. Players must destroy all vehicles and kill all enemies in the base to begin capturing the flag. Once the flag starts to go up, enemies will come in large groups through a few different spawn points and spawn infinitely until the flag is captured. If an enemy is in the flags capture radius, the capturing process will be temporarily stalled. Once the flag is captured, the next flag appears and the next part of the map is free to be explored.

Terms of Victory
Players will win a match once the final flag has been captured.

Terms of Defeat
Players will lose a match once all players in the squad are dead simultaneously.
