EA DICE are releasing what could be the Modern Warfare 2 beater next month. What made Modern Warfare stand out from the competition was the multiplayer and Co-Op modes.

Will Bad Company 2 have any form of co-op mode in? Not from day one, but they could add it in the furure as a downloadable update. In an interview with Eurogamer.de, Charles Magnusson said;

We have decided once to integrate additional game modes in multiplayer mode. We must always decide what we implement. Our studio does not have infinite resources. Nevertheless, we want to integrate Koop in the game. The fans just need to have some patience and trust us.

So it could come in the future. I guess we will have  to wait and see.
