Rumored Information On Bad Company 2
garandx was kind enough to compile a list of items from the EA.UK BFBC2 Review posting. Here is the rundown:
There is a lot of information here. Of course with the game being in alpha, some stuff may come and go and everything can change, but it gives us some ideas of things to come.

1. 4 Game modes *At launch*: Rush, CQ, Squad DM, and Unknown. All of them can be played normally or in Hard-Core mode. Hard Core will be a ranked mode. There will be no kill cam after deaths, no HUD to speak of, no crosshairs and the amount of damage you can take will be decreased dramatically
2. You are able to select your fire rate. There is single shot, 3 round burst, and full auto. M16 is 3Rd Burst only, G3 is Single and Automatic.
3. Choppers are back, Unlike BF2 you have to land an have an Engineer repair them, no hover fixing.
4. Punk Buster is back as the Anti-Cheat for BC2.
Un-ranked servers are planned to have a strong Rcon type feature, where we can adjust the settings to fit our needs, and essentially create a competitive config, similar to CoD4 competition.
Side Note: The game is still considered to be in Pre-Alpha stage.<!--more-->
