We'd like to officially announce the new gamemode clarify the details surrounding the "Squad Rush" gamemode for BFBC2. So let's start with the video and get into it shall we. :-)

Squad Rush Details

Gamemode: Squad Rush puts a squad of four players versus another squad of four players for a max of eight player matches in this intense one crate/two base infantry only version of the Rush gamemode.

How To Access "Squad Rush" After Launch

North America: All customers that pre-order from GameStop (local retail store or website) on Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 will have an Exclusive Access* for 30 days to play the "Squad Rush" gamemode and any friends they bring with them. This means you can always play with your friends if you have the Exclusive Access* and we never force you to split from them, plus those that have this Exclusive Access* are a bit more popular. even if only for 30 days. ;-)

Rest of The World: No Exclusive Access, but we will make it available at launch and you can also invite any of your American buddy's to play as well.

* No Exclusive Access on PC, however we'll make the gamemode available at launch instead.

The new game mode is called "Squad Death Match", and it is comprised of 4 squads (4 soldiers each) competing against each other on a small fast action sized map.

Panama Canal features a tight battle with abandoned industrial buildings, vehicles, large ships, and piles of debris everywhere with billowing smoke off in the distance as the surround forest rages of fire while the surrounding city is bombarded by enemy ballistics. The map has a four-flag setup, with two flags being more focused on vehicle warfare with IFVs and MBTs. The center flags are infantry focused and the team in control of either centre flag will get access to an attack helicopter or an AA vehicle, respectively.
