Battlefield Bad Company 2: DLC "Onslaught"

The new DLC brought out by Bc is a 4 player co-op based game mode. The mode is based on 4 players working together to capture the 4 bases that the terrorists set up, and even though this doesn't seem like a good game mode, its fun but short. (Unless you're playing it on hardcore difficulty)

The game mode uses the weapons that you have unlocked for multi player meaning you can't use guns that you haven't unlocked yet. This is good and bad because it makes players go onto the multi player and try to level their assault or sniper class to get the weapons or attachments that they used in the campaign.

The DLC could be considered short because its only available on 4 of the multi player maps these maps are:

Atacama Desert: A real favourite for all battlefield veterans, this heavy vehicle map was the perfect candidate for Onslaught mode, which starts you off with a helicopter, a Jeep with a rocket launcher turret, and a heavy tank. Even saying this, on hardcore difficulty the terrorists use rocket launchers (RPG-7, AT4) with very good accuracy on all the maps, but its this one in particular where you find it difficult to fly/drive around the base and be able to survive more than 5 minutes without taking major damage. This map is very fun for people who love the vehicles of bad company 2.

Valparaiso: A good map, but a few things that I would like them to change, as this plays a lot like rush, but against AI. Firstly you cannot go to the lighthouse to snipe or defend yourself from the AT Boat. Secondly very occasionally the game doesn't allow you to get the kill, you get a critical squad assist reducing your overall points. These are the only problems that I have, and fighting an AT boat is nearly insane on hardcore difficulty when you're tanks gone. But its also insanely fun when you succeed it blowing it up.

Isla Inocentes: I haven't had a chance to play this mission yet, so I'm not sure if you start the same as when you play rush and I don't know what surprises that the game has in for you when you attack the flag, but it looks like it would be a good map for a ground assault using the boats that you get in the multi player.

Nelson Bay : Another map that I haven't played yet, but it looks like its about the stealth that you use in the multi player rush game mode, sneaking through the snow with a silenced UMP45 or smashing through the buildings taking out enemies Bc2 style with an M4/M16 and grenade launching your way through.

As you can see the maps available are only multi player maps which, even though is a big drawback it can't take away from the fun that you can have in this insane modes, playing with strangers or with friends, definite buy for anybody who has any interest in Bc2!
