Battlefield: Bad Company 2 is a first-person shooter video game.

Developed by: DICE.
Published by: Electronic Arts.

It is a direct sequel to Battlefield: Bad Company and is part of the Battlefield game series.
It was released worldwide in March 2010.
The iOS port was released on the App Store on December 16, 2010.
The game is primarily a squad-level online first person shooter based in a contemporary modern warfare setting.
Additionally, the game includes a single-player campaign, where the player re-assumes the role of Preston Marlowe, the protagonist of the original game.

The game's Frostbite 1.5 engine allows for destructible environments, and multiplayer maps contain a wide selection of vehicles, aircraft and emplacements and allow for five different game modes.
Seven VIP map packs as well as a downloadable game mode have been released thus far, plus an expansion pack centered around the Vietnam War, which was released on December 21, 2010.

Multiplayer:

Multiplayer is class-based, with four classes: Assault, Engineer, Medic, and Recon.
Each class has a variety of unique weapons and equipment, and serves a specific role in combat.
There are also some weapons that can be used by any class, such as pistols and shotguns.
Each class gains experience and levels up separately.
New items are unlocked by earning experience points, which are gained for performing actions conducive to the goals of the player's team, such as eliminating enemy players, healing team mates, or capturing or defending points of interest.
These points also count towards a total of 50 ranks.
Bonuses to the base number of points can be awarded under certain circumstances (such as achieving a headshot in the process of eliminating an enemy player).

The multiplayer features 15 vehicles, including new additions, such as the Sikorsky UH-60 Black Hawk, a quad bike, a four-man patrol boat, a personal watercraft, a ZU-23-2 mounted on a BMD-3 armoured personnel carrier, and a Northrop Grumman MQ-8 Fire Scout, controlled via remote computer terminals.
The available maps are set in various environments such as South America and Alaska, near the borders of Russia, similar to those seen in the singleplayer.

A dog tag system, as seen in Battlefield 2142 and Battlefield: Bad Company, is also used, awarding players with their opponents' dog tags when they defeat them with a knife attack.

Bad Company 2 features several game types:

- Rush:
Players must defend or destroy pairs of M-COM stations until either the attackers run out of respawn tickets or all of the stations are destroyed.
Lost tickets can be regained by reviving fallen team mates.
An M-COM station can be destroyed by planting a charge, using explosive weapons or ballistics, or simply by demolishing the building in which it is located.
However, not all M-COM stations exist in destructible buildings, forcing players to use a variety of methods to achieve the same goal.
When a charge is planted by the attacking team, an alarm is activated and the defenders have a limited amount of time to get to the M-COM station and disarm the bomb before it detonates.

- Squad Rush:
Similar to Rush, but consists of only two squads, one defending and the other attacking.
The maps used for Squad Rush are smaller versions of those for both Conquest and Rush modes.
There are only 2 M-COM stations in each round.

- Conquest:
Features the classic gameplay of the Battlefield series.
Players must capture and defend flags for as long as possible.
If a base is taken, it can be recaptured, and the cycle can repeat until the game's end.
Every kill depletes one ticket, and tickets gradually decrease when one team controls more than half of the flags on the map.
Vehicles can spawn once a flag is captured.
When one team's tickets are depleted, that team will lose the game.
Lost tickets can be regained by reviving fallen team mates.

- Squad Deathmatch:
Features up to four squads, each fighting against the other. An infantry support vehicle is available for any squad to claim, giving a significant advantage.
The first squad to score fifty kills wins the match.

- Onslaught(Xbox360/PS3):
Tasks one squad of up to four players to capture certain points on the map, allowing the squad to advance.
The game is won by capturing all the points.
Unlike other modes, the only enemies are bots.
This game mode features new lighting and time of day on existing maps, as well as new vehicles.
