The E3 demo of DICE for the Battlefield: Bad Company 2 has highlighted the multiplayer mode and a match type that is called Rush. Those fans who are familiar with the franchise will remember the Gold Rush mode from the first game. In this the players is suppose to either attack or defend stashes of gold.
The main difference in this new Bad Company 2 is that the matches are more objective-based and progressive. There are two teams combating to take over a military base that is hidden among snowy mountaintops. As the gamers either attack or defend a position, the action moves forward through the environment in it.
In this game players will be having access to vehicles this time around. Hence, the teams can group together in a tank and advance to the next location.

This game, Battlefield 1943, is a download-only game that is going to be released this summer to the PS3 and the Xbox 360. In the month of September the company will be releasing the PC version of this game.
When it asked to Patrick Lui, the Lead Designer, about the game for the decision to release the game as a download-only. He said, “This is experimental for us. We want to reach new markets and make the game accessible to a wider audience. But this is the future of downloadable games. There’s nothing like this currently on Xbox Live or the PlayStation Network, not at this price point. We are bringing a real shooter. People see this game and think it’s a retail release.”
