Battlefield Bad Company 2 Competition

TeamWarfare has a long history of supporting the Battlefield competitive community and Bad Company 2 will be no exception. This announcement is to let everyone know we will be supporting this game fully and we have some exciting plans for immediate and future competition.

Conquest Tournament

This will be standard Battlefield conquest format. The sign-ups for the tournament are open, with the tournament kicking off within the first two weeks (exact date TBD). The number of slots for this tournament has yet to be decided but it will likely be 64 teams. The team sizes will also be determined once the game has come out, as we are unsure the standard 8v8 will suffice. We are looking at scheduling two matches per week so this first tourney doesn't take too long to wrap up before the first season of league kicks off.

Conquest Ladder

This will be the standard BF series conquest ladder. Rules and such will be available shortly after release with the ladder opening within the first week. If you are unsure of the format, please refer to the BF2 conquest ladder ruleset, as it will give you a good idea of how it will run.

Conquest League

Again, rules will be similar to the BF2 conquest league ruleset. This is likely to be a six week season followed by a three week playoff series. As for timing and dates, we plan on opening league sign-ups on the day of release for the conquest ladder. The exact rules, maps and matches are to be determined soon. We also plan on having league sign-ups setup as soon as the tournament is running. The league could start as early as two or three weeks after release, depending on community activity and interest.

Rush Ladder

As an entirely new format to the BF series, we are going to delay this ladder for a little bit so we can fully understand how competition will work. We do plan on having competition in this format and the admin staff will be working to have rules and structures in place as soon as possible.

Also being considered in the near future:

Rush League
Squad Rush Ladder & League
Squad Death match Ladders (if we can make the site backend support it)

Again, these are tentative plans based on what we know of the game so far. However, our goal is to get you guys competing as soon as possible.

Since this is being created for you, the players, naturally we are interested in hearing what you would like to see from TWL. Please be specific and on topic.

We look forward to an exciting and competitive experience with you all!
