Battlefield: Bad Company 2 is set to be released this March. No official date yet, just "March". From what I've read, it sounds like the gameplay is going to be just like the Battlefield 2 we grew to love... with the addition of destructible environment. What's that you say? Oh yes, you can destroy the cover your enemy is hiding behind and even take down entire buildings. Unlike all the other PC Battlefields before it, BF:BC2 has a single player campaign. (Note: Bad Company 1 was for console-only and had a single player.) Even though it will probably be fairly short, it should still offer a few hours of enjoyment. I don't believe this will be available for coop, though. Multiplayer will also offer a new gamemode called Squad Rush. In Squad Rush, two squads of 4 players will face off against each other. This is the alternative to a 32-player multiplayer game of conquest. Squads can still be created in the regular multiplayer, though.

My one big problem with all the Battlefield games is you have to play on ranked servers to increase your rank. This means that if we wanted to run our own server, we'd have to pay for it. We could run an un-ranked server (I assume), but that would disable any unlocks anybody has. So that just wouldn't be fun for the players who actually earned the new perks. Currently, if you pre-order from Steam, you get access to 6 unlocks and can play the Beta starting on the 28th of this month. I'd really like to pick this one up. It's $50, which is decent considering most new games are selling for $60 now. But I imagine the pre-order offer will be available for a while.
