Anyone have a BF2-BC clan starting up?
Id like to join if their are any openings.

Our squad plays many games but it is looking like BFBFC:2 is going to be a major one for us.
If your 18+ and interested in some casual killing (we are not a competition squad) stop by the forums and drop an app. You'll be asked to join us on vent and if everything goes well you'll be voted into the squad.

We are mostly older casual players and typically have a laid back atmosphere. If that interests you check us out.

hmmm....interesting. Looks like a nice clan to join. Do you have to sign with blood in the contract? Nice website. I'll be clan free. It gives me more options to choose.

I'm sure you'll get lots of offers here, also most COD4 clans are recruiting for BC2.

"We'd like to officially announce the new gamemode and clarify the details surrounding the "Squad Rush" gamemode for BFBC2. So let's start with the video and get into it shall we. :-)

Squad Rush Summary
Gamemode: Squad Rush puts a squad of four players versus another squad of four players for a max of eight player matches in this intense one crate/two base infantry only version of the Rush gamemode.

How To Access "Squad Rush" at Launch
North America: All customers that pre-order from GameStop (local retail store or website) on Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 will have an Exclusive Access* for 30 days to play the "Squad Rush" gamemode and any friends they bring with them. This means you can always play with your friends if you have the Exclusive Access* never forcing you to split from them, plus those that have this Exclusive Access* are a bit more popular... even if only for 30 days. ;-)

Rest of The World: No Exclusive Access, as we will make it available at launch (no extra cost) and you can also invite any of your American buddies to play as well.

* No Exclusive Access on PC, as we'll make the gamemode available at launch (no extra cost) instead."

LOL, that last RPG at the tank was a little off. Thanks for the vid Gonsa. It's going to be nuts in DX11!

I think what the player was thinking was that the rocket would automatically lock on to the tracer dart he got on the tank, but they dont. You have to hover over it for a few seconds and then its locked and can be shot from any angle. Which some people might not like, but it doesnt bother me in the PS3 beta. Especially if theres more then one tank and you want to hit one without a dart on it and you dont want your rocket to veer off to some other tank.

But the vid was amazing, I cant wait for the full game.

omg that has to be the first time I've ever seen the US version more expensive than the UK version. Go figure. We get the game on pre-order for £25 (~$40 atm) and you pay $50.
Still if you are going to pre-order, go here and you can choose the version of Battlefield Bad Company Limited Edition that gives you an extra gun (aks-74u) for free. Well why not?

Those 4 team matches look amazing, I so wanna try. If you could get up to 4 teams of 8, it would be the clan game of the future. Multi clan fights anyone??

Battlefield: Bad Company 2's New Multiplayer Mode

It pays to have friends in DICE's next entry to the hallowed series.

by Nate Ahearn

December 18, 2009 - Anyone who has played the Battlefield series before will tell you that the experience is meant for mass hysteria online. You and your pals engaging in some of the greatest skirmishes to ever grace the small screen is why Battlefield has endured so well over the years. So it stands to reason that EA Games is leading the PR charge for Bad Company 2 by feeding members of the press new multiplayer maps and modes bit by bit over the last several months. Yesterday was no different as I made that same drive down US-101 to Electronic Arts' Redwood Shores studio to play a new multiplayer mode and try my hand at two new maps in Battlefield: Bad Company 2, due out March 2 on PC, PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360.

The first batch of new content included the map Laguna Presa and a new mode called Squad Deathmatch. Squads are something that permeates just about every multiplayer mode in Bad Company 2. The idea is simple: you and up to three friends form a mini-team of sorts within the larger group of players. There are two big advantages to forming a squad. First, you can hit the back button (select on PS3) when you see an enemy and his location will instantly pop up for the rest of your squad to see. The second strategic advantage allows you to select one of your three squad mates as a spawn point so you can instantly warp to their location. It's great fun to be in a firefight, struggling for survival, only to see a teammate spawn right next to you and clean things up at your side.

Click above to watch a developer walkthrough on the new squad mechanics.

The mode, as I said, is called Squad Deathmatch and it plays as simply as it sounds. You and your squad have to be the first to get 50 kills (kill limits can be changed in the settings) by eradicating the opposition which consists of three other teams of four players (at its max). Aiding you -- or perhaps the other teams if they capitalize first -- is a vehicle specifically designed to eradicate soldiers on foot. It's the sole vehicle in this mode so capturing it is of the utmost importance. The maps that you'll find in Squad Deathmatch are specifically tailored to the mode, with certain areas designed to provide a strategic advantage to the vehicle while the opposite is true elsewhere. It's also cool that, depending on what multiplayer mode you select, you could get an entirely different portion of the map than you would in another game type. A map's total area can be up to 64 square kilometers and every piece will surely be used by one mode or another.

The map we were playing on, known as Laguna Presa, is home to gobs of lush greenery that seemed to pop off the screen a bit more than any of the colors in the first Bad Company. There are large shipping crates situated around the level that act as protective cover from the marauding tank that chops down soldiers. Laguna Presa also changes elevations quite often -- with both high ground and low ground -- and includes plenty of shrubbery which makes for an easy hiding place for snipers. Unlike other games, the camouflage in Bad Company 2 actually works pretty damn well. Just ask the knife in my character's back.

The second map was a familiar location, at least in name. The Bad Company 2 version of the Panama Canal is essentially a boat graveyard with broken down ships that act as bridges to different parts of the level. There are dilapidated buildings for players to take brief refuge until an enemy destroys the wall they're hiding behind.

Unlike in Laguna Presa, we played Panama Canal with the Conquest Mode that Bad Company 1 players received as free downloadable content last year. You and your team -- which in Bad Company 2 can be expanded to twelve players, thus allowing for 24 players total -- need to capture as many of the four flags as possible and hold them until the opposition's score dwindles to zero. There are vehicles galore (including the new UAV) and yes, squad capabilities are still intact.

Click above to watch gameplay footage from Panama Canal.

One aspect of Bad Company 2 that I wanted to touch on was the perk system. We haven't talked much about it, but it's a cool addition that follows in a similar fashion to what's seen in Call of Duty. You have three basic categories for perks that will gradually unlock as you level up your character through any of the four multiplayer modes. There are perks that will affect vehicles, your weapon and your armor. You'll see things like adding a red dot sight to your weapon, increasing your accuracy, adding armor to vehicles, and lots of other abilities. There are also new weapons and armor that will become available as you progress through the ranks. And if that wasn't enough to keep you playing Bad Company 2, there will be at least 16 new multiplayer maps when the game ships on March 2, so get ready.

If all of these fancy perks and abilities aren't to your liking -- perhaps you think it makes the game too easy -- DICE is adding a hardcore mode to increase the realism. Here there will be no kill cam after deaths, no HUD to speak of, and the amount of damage you can take will be decreased dramatically. Good luck to those who want to play in this mode. I know I never will.

Battlefield: Bad Company 2 is scheduled to launch on March 2 on PC, PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360. Keep an eye on IGN.com for our thoughts on the single-player portion of Bad Company 2 sometime next month.

All I can say is Im amazed at the videos I have seen. Now granted I can tell which it is from(PS3 or the Developers PC stuff) but my jaw drops at the smoothness and how the characters move. This is worth pre-ordering about 4 months ahead of time!
