Amazon Leaks Battlefield: Bad Company 2 Ultimate Edition

Still haven't picked up the early front-runner for shooter of the year? Come August 31, it looks like you can score a greatest hits-style version of Battlefield: Bad Company 2 that includes all the VIP map packs, the four-player co-op based Onslaught mode, and a copy of Battlefield 1943 to boot.

Though Electronic Arts has yet to officially announce it, today Amazon posted the Battlefield: Bad Company 2 Ultimate Edition on its marketplace. You're not getting a ton of new content considering DICE's questionable decision to forgo creating any new maps for the game (all the VIP map packs are simply pre-existing maps getting retooled for use in new modes), but the Onslaught mode is a fun way to kill time with friends and Battlefield 1943 is a blast.

  • i wish it had split-screen.

    its still a cool game though

  • Awww. I already have the game. Good point, DICE needs to bring out all new maps. I'm tired of playing on the same stages. You can make them look different all you want but their still the same OLD maps. why can't they be like Infinity Ward and bring out a ton of kick ass maps. They can at least remake maps from the Battlefield series.

  • Amazon fails yet again

  • Good news for all those peep's with no online....

  • I haven't gotten this yet, it might be time to check it out.

  • Might pick this up, eventually.

  • totally got pick this up.

  • I have already picked up Battlefield Bad Company 2 so I'm not gonna regret it but I don't have Onslaught mode and Battlefield 1943. This would be a great buy for hardcore FPS fans that haven't bought this game yet.

  • Mod

    "includes all the VIP map packs"  Giggle, the main game had them we just had to wait for them to be unlocked.

  • I just bought a new regular copy today for 40 bucks(and a renewed subscription to GI, cough cough).  Haven't opened it yet.  Not sure if i'm in need of all that stuff.  I only have one controller.

  • Meh. Too little, too late.

  • Your kidding well good for anyone who hasn't picked up the game.

  • i dont get onslaught mode at all

    your just killing AI with your friends online

    why cant it be splitscreen too?

  • DICE needs to step it up and actually work on new maps, I like battlefield, but its ridiculous that I paid 60 bucks for an experience that's gradually opening up to me, and that I should have to pay $10 more for Onslaught mode (which I don't...yet) not to mention the optional armor variants.

    It isn't enough that Battlefield suffers from lack of game types, there's also limited maps. Myself personally usually gets frustrated when playing Conquest and Rush and tend to stay on squad death match. Which has few maps.

    Considering many of the maps have multiple spots too. Why isn't the different sections of the map broken up and used for multiple places to play squad death match?

    Maybe it's because they're pouring out their efforts to the Expansion Battlefield Vietnam. And I can understand. But DICE should've shipped Bad Company 2 with all maps used in all game types. Seriously that third section in a game of rush on Port Vladez would make for an awesome squad death match map.

  • sweet!

  • Dear Bertz,

    Please stop using every *** article about Bad Company 2 you write to complain like a little *** baby about the lack of maps in Bad Company 2.

    Your crying isn't going to change a thing.

    And also, last I checked you haven't even played since... Onslaught's release?

  • awesome!to bad i have all those things,cept Onslaught mode which i wanna get SOOOO badly!does anyone know if Onslaught mode is worth the 1200 microsoft points???

  • Shooter of the year, is it Bertzif?

    I seem to recall a certain someone adamantly defending Alien vs predator as the greatest masterpiece ever.

  • I was thinking about getting this the other day. I would have been so mad if i bought it then seen this! Thanks GI!
