Electronic Arts plan on releasing a new game mode for their first-person shooter Battlefield: Bad Company 2 that introduces four-player cooperative action to PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360.

Onslaught mode will feature matches with a squad of up to four players completing a series of objectives as they battle countless computer-controlled enemies.

The modes will be available using four multiplayer maps -- Atacama Desert, Isla Inocentes, Nelson Bay and Valparaiso -- and will be redesigned with new vehicles and other effects.

Onslaught will also feature online leaderboards for players to check their progress against others.

"Effective squad play is the key to success in Battlefield: Bad Company 2 multiplayer and this new mode will provide players with a dedicated environment to test their team skills and rank against the competition," said senior producer Patrick Bach in a post on the game's official blog.

Studio DICE also unveiled a trailer showcasing Onslaught mode, which you can check out below. No word on whether this mode will appear on PC.
