There's a preview on some German site that apparently mentions Gold Rush as being the only game mode.

Exclusive Beta, day 3

We figured we'd update you on some of the feedback from you that we’ve seen in the Beta forums. A lot of it is already addressed for the main game. However, you’re providing invaluable data and feedback, so please keep it coming!

Thanks to everyone for your participation in the Beta – you’re raising some really interesting issues which are greatly appreciated and really help us improve the game! We can’t address all of your concerns, but we’re working hard to deliver the best experience possible. In the time to the release of the Beta we’ve been busy increasing the overall quality of the game, and lot of the issues that are coming up have already been addressed for the main game. However, you’re providing invaluable data and feedback, so please keep it coming!

Here’s a list of some of the major issues that we’ve seen arising in the Beta that we’ve now addressed for the main game:

• Brightness – some of the light settings on Ascension are very dark, particularly inside buildings. These have now had a major overhaul, so you won’t be running around in darkness.

• Server stability and performance – this is something that we’re using the Beta to test – we need to have thousands of players in to stress them, and the data we’ve been recording really helps. We’ll be tweaking server settings during the course of the Beta, and may need to take them down from time to time to make changes. We’ll try to keep disruption to a minimum, and will give prior notice of times wherever possible.

• Framerate – we’ve been working hard to increase the framerate and minimise tearing – this should be significantly improved for the release game.
  
• End of round crashes – there are stability issues at the end of round event which are fixed.
  
• Fall damage – in the Beta you take a lot of damage for low fall heights – this is now tweaked.
  
• Squad spawn – the squad spawn in the Beta is not functioning correctly – we’ve tweaked and bugfixed some parameters, and works much better now.
  
• Team colours – we’re tweaking colours to make sure we minimise confusion for colourblind players (an issue close to our hearts as some of us are too J)

Some other notes:

• Vehicle controls – we’ve seen that some of you are finding vehicles and helos tricky to control – if you go into the options menu you can reconfigure to stick control and invert your flight choice to suit your preferences.

• SERVER NOTICE – we’ll be testing some new settings on a limited number of servers over the next few days – some of you may experience performance drops, but we’ll strive to keep this to a minimum

Again, thanks for your participation and feedback, we’ll continue monitoring the forums and get back to you soon.

Just got my key! I actually forgot my father subscribes to Fileplanet. I'll try and get some video up tonight for anyone interested.

Woooo I got a key, pretty fun game. I can see how great it would be with a bunch of friends in a squad.

Ewwww, only game mode??? I am actually enjoying the beta very much!!!! But, the lack of additional game modes would blow big time. The vehicles were done really well in this game so I like those online.

But man, I don't know if gold rush would be enough to keep me coming back for more.

Re: Battlefield: Bad Company (First Screens) xbox360 & PS3

The Battlefield games have had only one or two game modes. Anyways, the producer confirmed that Gold Rush will be the only game mode that ships with the game.

Re: Battlefield: Bad Company (First Screens) xbox360 & PS3

I was hyped about this game, but after watching footage and reading more about it doesnt seem as revolutionary as they tried to make it sound.

I'm sick of FPS's so I think I'm gonna pass on this one.

I hear ya, i'm in the same boat, but sniping in this game is so satisfying. No other 360 game can you pick someone off from almost a Km away.

Yeah, I do like the sniping in the game although it is a bit easy. Very satisfying to get those looooooooong kills

Hey Kev, did you delete your video or did Vimeo remove it?

I deleted it cause I didn't think anyone wanted to see it anymore.

New ones VIA content download maybe? I hope so.

They really need to fix the bullet damage. Shooting a guy with 30 bullets is way to much.
