This just in from the BF Blog:

Take the new servers for a spin and check out Onslaught mode, where a squad of up to four players to play new co-op missions against an army of enemy AI across four maps.

So...does this mean PC is no longer a platform in the eyes of DICE?

Realising there would be a backlash from envious PC users left out in the cold, EA prepared a statement:


No, we haven't signed away rights to console on this. The problem we have on PC is that all our servers are dedicated with providers. Changing a server from Conquest 32 players to Onslaught 4 players cuts out 28 player slots from the total ammount available. This could have a dramatic affect on the PC online environment if enough servers changed to Onslaught.
We aren't ruling out Onslaught on PC but at this time we are researching how to bring it to PC without affecting players who don't have Onslaught or their own server to run it on.

How about do what WaW did with a zombies. If it's a coop with four of your friends than one of them could host it.

but they need to charge people for servers... P2P hosting makes sense but i don't think they'll do it.

That's the part tailor-made to piss off PC customers. Our version has had serious problems for months now. I haven't played in weeks, it got to be so aggravating.
