Conquest
Conquest focuses on the capture and control of flags; once a team captures a control point, its members can re-spawn in the area.
When a team loses control of all their flags or control points, they cannot re-spawn.

Rush
The "Gold Rush" mode from the original Bad Company is now known asas "Rush".
The format is similar in that an attacking team must detonate explosives on a defending team's crates.
The attacking team succeeds by eliminating all the crates on the map, and the defending team succeeds
if the attackers are not able to eliminate the crates in the active area before their tickets are depleted

Squad Rush
Squad Rush puts a squad of four players versus another squad of four players for a max of eight player matches
in this intense one crate/two base infantry only version of the Rush gamemode.

How To Access "Squad Rush" at Launch :

North America: All customers that pre-order from GameStop (local retail store or website) on Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3
will have an Exclusive Access* for 30 days to play the "Squad Rush" gamemode and any friends they bring with them.
This means you can always play with your friends if you have the Exclusive Access*

*This game mode would be automatically unlocked for everyone after 30 days.

Rest of The World: No Exclusive Access, as this mode would be unlocked day 1 at no extra cost and you can also invite
any of your American buddies to play as well.

Squad Deatmatch
Two teams 4 squads each, only one vehicle per map. The first squad to reach 50 kills, wins the match.

This makes me want to curl up like a ball :( I'm so embarrassed and every single time I want to practice it alone, some other guy joins me. I always jump out then.

I once managed to be alone and oh my god, the shit flew left and right and it took less than 5 seconds for me to blow up ;_;

I don't want that to be a requirement!!!

Change the air controls to BC1, it simplifies things by moving ascend/descend to the left stick.

I tend to play at varying times so I can't play consistently with my own friends so please add me!

I also have a bluetooth but I notice a lot of people tend to be mic shy. At least playing the PS3 Demo.

I'll add everyone else that has posted so far.

I tend to play an aggressive Medic, though occasionally I'll go Recon on defense if I think it will help. And remember to balance squads if possible, two medics on offense can really help out at key moments.

Good op fersis. The newb video is gold, should be mandatory viewing. Now I must figure out how to pilot the choppa.

Instead of blocking hiss way/knifing him/jumping up and down in front of him, you can just put the cross hair on him and press "select" once or many times (your guy would then beg the other guy for ammo :lol) until he gives you ammo!

It took me 10 minutes to learn how to pilot that thing. I had Dellrizla's help, and he's an awesome pilot.

well, usually the blocking/stabbing/jumping happens after pressing back/select several times with them not noticing that i am talking to them.

the choppers take some concentration to fly, and they don't seem to move laterally as well as they did in BC1. i can fly well enough to not crash, which is better than the average bear!

I forgot to mention in my previous post when I am online.

My frequent play hours are between 6pm - 9pm EST. If you send me a FR just make sure to put teh NeoGAF somewhere in the message box.

Fersis, if you PSN is the same as your GAF UN, I broke the cardinal rule and didn't identify myself in the text box. The kids were bugging me and I accidentally sent the FR before typing anything. I know ones like those go in the trash when I get them. Please don't throw me away.. :D

9 moar days!! After viewing some of those maps I'm bouncing off the walls here. Going to get insane. If we get a GAF squad together that communicates we will be unstoppable.

when playing with randoms, hitting "select" hardly works (if ever). Most of them ignore 'request' for ammo. Same goes for medics. Obviously this isn't a problem when you're in a squad, especially we a group of people you actually know.

Yes, its an intrusive tactic but if people played their roles this wouldn't be a problem. Those flashing depleted ammo or health icons aren't a fashion statement!

Not to be completely negative, sometimes I do join a server where everyone works together. Good times.

I will be on most evenings. I am a team player, don't care about k/d, always try to revive, always try to repair, and I fucking kill it in a tank. You really don't want to be on the other side when I am in a tank. Seriously.

Even if a tank is about to explode and you don't have an engineer nearby, KEEP FIGHTING!! Do NOT get out and let the other team take your tank and repair it. And if you are a sniper on my team, you better be godly. Otherwise, I will not play with you. I do not want MW2 shitheels on my team

oh god this. captain always goes down with his ship, etc... hell, sometimes i've gone on streaks with a low health tank precisely because the enemy waited for me to bail out and i didn't.

Some of you guys on XBL may not know this, but if you go here and log in with your LiveID, you can add friends from the web. Makes it a shitton easier.

Or you could jump out, let them take it and blow it up!
 
Enjoying the hell out of this demo. Just need to find the game for a decent price price now, here's hoping for a release week £35 offer.

:lol Awesome Fersis...thanks for my "appearance" in the OT. :)

Likely only going to be doing this on 360...still debating PS3 since Amazon won't let you get two $20 GCs. :(

EDIT: ah hell...I think I am going to double-dip after all! 360/PS3.

I usually play Engineer and Medic.

The UAV's missile strike can often bring the finishing touch on damaged buildings.
