No, not really. You're not well informed if you're complaining about 007 Nightfire when we're talking about Bad Company 2.

Wait what? Was this just in North America, as I didn't pre-order but I've had access to Squad Rush since day 1 here in the UK?

It was a GameStop exclusive thing in the United States and it was only for consoles -- the PC version had access to Squad Rush day one worldwide.

I've had access (360) to it since day on here in Australia as well. Strange.

Aw, I read this like it was a new mode. Something I've been playing already :(

BAHAHAHA....all those who told me I was an idiot for not pre-ordering from Gamestop instead of getting this game through Amazon and getting a free $20 gift card by doing so......EAT IT!
I've been enjoying this game since day one and haven't missed Squad Rush mode until now...because now I can play it. I can play it along side my free $20 Amazon gift card. KTHXBAI!

+1. Last night in the big rush game, I set off all but the last crate...because everyone was too busy sniping from the mountains half a map away. It's beyond frustrating.

Boy oh boy do I feel you on that one.

Consider yourself target practice in The Most Dangerous Game.

Yes it's one of the Dr Pepper unlock codes, though Dr. P hasn't released them to the public yet.

I totally empathize with you, man. I mostly play either medic or engineer, but it's like everyone wants to play recon (without using the C4 or remote mines, mind you).

I just bought this last week and I LOVE THIS GAME!

My god, since when was this in the game? I bought the LE and never saw it

I get it. "Moving Pictures" is an album by Rush.

Hell, I still haven't played as Assault. I've spent most of my time as a medic, unlocking med kits and defib paddles. I wanted them early so I could switch when needed. Then I unlocked mortar on recon, and I'm going engineer next.

Dude, I know! I don't give a damn about sniping, but I almost wanna level mine up so my has one that does it the way it is intended, not sitting there in a god-awful spawn point for your squad. And then, of course, they get knifed by some random dude because they don't switch positions or take their eyeballs outta the scope.

I like to play Recon with the G3, I can still have the motion mines and C4/mortar but I can actually be helpful.

If Mr ESC cared about his inbox he shouldn't have made such a valid point;)

Yeah I'm on PS3 Adam. Must have just been an America thing.

Squad Rush is actually my favorite mode. My squad ran into a bunch of spawn campers and would kill us as soon as we spawned and then we somehow killed them and held them back enough to where they couldn't plant the bomb. They quit after losing the match.lol.

I've started using Engineer + AT mines + Extra Explosives + Extra Explosive Damage.
Run up to the m-com, throw all 6 AT mines, arm, chuck a grenade, and run back. The resulting explosive knocks the m-com health in half meaning you'd only have to do that again to destroy it without charging it. Plus the AT mines stay even if you've died, so if there is any explosion around the m-com they'll go off.
Cheap? maybe, you still have to get to the mcom and toss them down. But definitely effective in certain situations.
Also the m-com A in isla inocentos in the 2nd set can be destroyed by knifing the tiny picket fence on the back of it. (it's the blue house). For some reason, the whole house will collapse if you destroy the tiny fence leaning on the back.
