I love this game and this new co-op mode looks great, but they need more MP maps.

Everyone is talking about paying for it. Wasn't the whole reason for console owners getting VIP was for free future updates to the game? I don't care if they did work on it after the fact or not, people went with their scheme of buying it new for VIP or purchasing VIP; so they should offer it to people who have VIP for free.

Does anyone actually know what this new mode is about? I saw some teamwork happening and a rocket boat but other than that I'm kinda lost.

@Devil240Z:  Don't waste your time on the Halo generation. Everyone loves Headhunter in Reach but no one mentions that UT had that quirky mode previously.

I can't fault them for wanting to charge for content they appear to actually have been working on after the game went gold, but anything above 400 would be nuts. But I guess in a post-Modern Warfare 2 world anything is possible.

" What, it's not coming to PC? "
DLC for multiplatform games almost always hits PC later than the console versions, if at all. The main reasons are that it's easier to program and test releases for console since they all have the same hardware, and the much bigger consumer base.
 
Well, I do hope it comes to PC. But if it's 15 bucks like MW2's map pack was, it had better be DAMN good because I'm probably not going to get it otherwise. Looking forward to see  how DICE does co-op play.

They had better start releasing some completely new maps, not maps that are already on the disc with time-activation. Get on it DICE, or start making Mirrors' Edge 2. They should make a cluttered shanty-town map. & have a rush mode map with attackers being forced to go through a gully and the defenders able to attack from the top, give the attackers a ridge they can crouch-walk under, and only have one or two m-com stations to keep it more fair.

I hope this is free; I can imagine that a Horde mode for BC2 could benefit greatly due to class structuring.

Um...what?  Are they seriously putting a survival mode into the game?  Are they going to be charging for this?  Will the AI be a bunch of 'nade-spamming, noob-tubing whores? 
 
So many questions... 
 
If they are charging and it doesn't have achievements, then I don't care.

Awesome! It would be really great if this were free but im sure they are going to want to charge for what should have already been in the game which is some form of co op.

While I will put a lot of time into Red Dead : Redemption (and buy it day 1), I definitely will return to BF:BC 2. For me, there's no grander online multiplayer experience than BF:BC 2. 
 
I'm curious to see how well DICE does co-op. It's their first co-op mode ever. Will it show? Hopefully it's good. I like me some co-op.

It's 4 player co-op versus AI. It's objective driven on existing maps (lighting, daytime, layout and vehicle spawns are different). There will be new vehicles as it seems. That gun boat sure is epic. 
 
I guess it's gonna be like 4 players with 100 tickets versus a ton of nasty AI. Like playing the big Rush mode, only against AI. 
 
Hopefully the matchmaking will be thight. Might be just right thing to relax from the real thing from time to time and frag the AI 'til it's sore.

I have no idea what this is from the trailer
 From the official blog I see its co op with existing maps with enemies added in.
 
But AI will never be as devious or as fun to fight as a player.
For example to snipe someone, and then C4 that spot and move on, so that when they come looking for you, BOOM.
 
I dunno.  I will have to see.

I dunno man. This is as un-battlefieldish as it gets. Besides, the AI for the bots in Battlefield games is, has always been and will most likely always be utter and complete garbage.
 
I love BF, but this really puts me off. Oh well, it might never even come to the PC anyway.

Nobody's stupid enough to charge 1200 microsoft points for a single map pack. Oh, wait.

For those that think this will only be for the consoles: 
http://www.shacknews.com/onearticle.x/63751
 
At this time it is only for Consoles because they don't want to destroy the online structure of pc gaming...personally i think they should tackle it the way valve approaches L4D for the pc...have dedicated and p2p possibilities...for only four players its fine.

Don't remind me of SOCOM 4. I bought SOCOM 2 again for a tenner last week and been playing that. Playing SOCOM at the moment doesnt work because every room is basically cold front with a bajillion thermal scopes.

BC2's AI is so awful that I can't say this kind of game mode for this game is terribly appealing.  But I wouldn't mind trying it out.  Hope they figure out a way to bring it to PC.
