Those of you playing Battlefield: Bad Company 2’s multiplayer will understand how hectic rush mode can get with a full lobby. Even with a squad of friends, sometimes those M-COM stations are locked down too damn hard. Well for anyone without a VIP code, now you don’t have to put up with a team of 6 snipers, a chopper and some tanks as EA and DICE have made squad rush mode available for everyone. Video waiting after the jump.

The rules are the same as standard rush mode; one team defends a pair of M-COM stations whilst the other team attempts to destroy them. If the attackers manage to take out both stations, more areas of the map become available and the game progresses. Only rather than the mayhem of twenty players going crazy for one area, this time it is just you and your squad up against another. This mode is perfect for the squad that always does well, but sometimes get let down by other team members just out for a few kills.

What are your thoughts on the decision by EA and DICE to unlock this game mode for everyone? Shouldn’t it have already been available to everyone? Let us know!
