Bad Company 2's Onslaught DLC (Finally) Coming To PC

It's happening, somehow. EA DICE has confirmed to PC Gamer that Battlefield: Bad Company 2's Onslaught mode is coming to PC. 

The co-op focused joint, which is already being sold as DLC to console owners of the game, features four-player play similar to that of the game's existing "Rush" mode. In a nutshell, Onslaught is about you and three other dudes taking over control points in four specially retrofitted maps. 

i'm down

Still haven't bought it on consoles yet.

yay!

cool 

I was wondering whether or not this was going to come out on PC. It better be free.

I LOVE YOU DICE

Onslaught is great.
 
Sometimes, I just want to relax and bash some AI. And fighting against the clock is far less stressful than going head to head directly. Very fun playing with a good squad of friends. Especially on Hard and Hardcore settings, where teamwork is key.
 
Also, on Atacama Desert Onslaught, chopper newbs can finally earn their wings. No more wasting precious choppers in competitive mode - plix!

Not something I would pay for. The AI in singleplayer was really, really bad and I love the chaos of 32 player servers.

Saw the PCG article before when browsing their site, but still want to say good that its coming to PC eventually, adds another mode to play and variety is often good.

YES
 
GOD YES
 
MORE BC2 = FUCK YES

Comp stomp = love

i dont play on pc   but i pretty sure that they would rather have dedi servers and wait a little than have the sh** storm that is MW2 pc

Hmm, maybe they have some peer-to-peer solution just for Onslaught on PC. 
I'm so happy to see this coming to PC. I was worried that this was never going to come out. Sometimes I just want to be a bot bully in a first-person shooter.

 In a bit of irony, it was the one-upsmanship with Modern Warfare 2 that put DICE in this position to begin with, since peer-to-peer networking would have removed the wait for Onslaught entirely.

No, Brad. MW2 fucked PC gamers, full stop. DICE kept the standard, they didn't one-up anyone, MW2 dropped the bar. And I'd rather a lag free and easy experience than some shitty Rush mode any day of the week. And it was only a couple of weeks late. "

Probably just waited for the amount of people using the existing servers to tail off a bit, now they'll use some of the freed up servers for this thing instead.  And hey, at least when they do, it won't be like you're playing with oven gloves on.  
 
Probably not much of a rush to get it out on PC tbh, because paying for DLC is for suckers.  This is known.

Is the lag for East Coast servers fixed? 
And where the HELL are the new maps? Seriously? 
 
Yeah, I appreciate the existing modes tacked onto old maps but I believe i am with everyone who just wants new maps. 
 
Onslaught should have been free with VIP by the way.

It sounds pretty good. The only thing that will prevent me from buying this is DICE's notoriety for designing some of the most horrendous AI since the turn of the century. As also seen in the BC2 singleplayer.

"The reason DICE didn't immediately commit to taking Onslaught onto PC is because of the co-op. The studio just didn't want to sacrifice its big 32-man servers for this much tinier and more focused mode. In a bit of irony, it was the one-upsmanship with Modern Warfare 2 that put DICE in this position to begin with, since peer-to-peer networking would have removed the wait for Onslaught entirely."

I hope nobody bought that mode anyway. That should have been included with the game from the start (Horde/Spec ops) or just patched in later like L4D survival.

It isn't "one-upsmanship" to deliver PC features to PC games and it's a little crass and shortsighted that you see it as just desserts. Nice to see Giantbomb is continuing its standing policy of being dismissive and ignorant when it comes to the PC platform. Is that in the style guide or something, new guy, or does it come naturally?

I really only care for dedicated servers if it means custom created community maps, server mods, and good ping.

32-player co-op servers.  That's my guess.

I wonder if this is going to cost money.

Love Battlefield: Bad Company 2 on PC so this news is awesome. 

Good news, however, I'm skeptical on purchasing since there are other games that do this thing.

As a PC BFBC2 player, I can't say I care at all.

talk cost then I'll decide how interested I am.

" As a PC BFBC2 player, I can't say I care at all. "

I'm all for the PC version getting everything it is entitled to and I shall be interested in playing this when it is released. Hope it's good.

I knew DICE wouldn't leave us PC gamers in the dust :3
