I've never had more than £2.50 on mine. As soon as they say "you've got £2.50 on that, do you want to use it" I always say "YES"

The game is pretty awesome, much more fun than Modern Warfare 2. Do kills with specific weapons still count even if you die?

Battlefield: BC2 console update coming May 11



Recons! Medics! Assaults! Lend us your Engineers! If you're still adhering to your nightly routine of playing Battlefield: Bad Company 2 until your eyes refuse to stay open any longer, you'll be pleased to hear about some upcoming changes coming to console versions of the game. Unless, of course, you actually like the game's unkillable, super overpowered deathcopters. In that case, you're about to be sorely disappointed.

Changes coming in the update -- due out May 11 via Xbox Live and PSN -- include a few balance tweaks of most weapons, a slight nerfing of the attack helicopter and an increase in the velocity of tracer darts, making it easier to stick 'em to that aforementioned helicopter. Joy!

Check out the full list of changes after the jump.

DICE Announces Bad Company 2 Onslaught DLC

At EA's spring showcase that is taking place in London today, DICE announced its first piece of premium DLC for their recent shooter, Bad Company 2 - a co-operative mode called "Onslaught."

Onslaught, which is coming soon says the Swedish developer, is an all new co-operative game mode that consists of 4 objective based missions on some of the game's current crop of maps - Valparaiso, Atacama Desert, Isla Inocentes and Nelson Bay.

The co-op mode will pit you and up to 3 friends against an onslaught - get it? - of enemy controlled AI troops as you tackle various objectives on the map, with a whole host of vehicles to take down from tanks to armoured boats.

All of the maps have been redesigned to fit with the game mode in mind, including such things as sandstorms, night combat and more to keep them feeling fresh.

Onslaught will also include 8 new achievements/trophies and will offer players of all mindsets - both casual and hardcore - something new, whether you just want to play for fun or compete in the online leaderboard.
