Battlefield is a game that truly lives up to its' name. It's melting pot of upgradeable classes, weapons, destructible environments, dazzling sound design and military vehicles creates thrilling, dynamic multiplayer with a heavy emphasis on rewarding tactical team play. No battle ever plays out the same, yet each has the scale and excitement of AAA singleplayer setpieces. It's a very effective and very popular formula and the announcement at E3 that Battlefield BC2 had sold over 5 million copies is testament to that.
What the new Onslaught mode (available as a defacto-timed exclusive on PSN for £7.19/$9.99) offers is something the muddle-paced singleplayer campaign should've, but didn't: the option to pit yourself and your buddies against a tidal wave of very aggressive AI in a selection of re-configured multiplayer maps. There's 4 of you against wave after wave after wave of well-equipped Ruskies out to decimate you and your squad.
