'Bad Company 2' to feature WWII level

EA DICE's Battlefield: Bad Company 2 will include a gameplay sequence from the Pacific theatre of World War II, it has emerged.

According to a report filed by the Entertainment Software Ratings Board, the multi-platform title will feature the retrospective WWII sequence in its single-player campaign.

"In single-player mode, players conduct missions on an unnamed Japanese island during World War II and then move into the modern day through jungles, deserts, and snowy terrain," said the ESRB.

"The firefights contain realistic gunfire, loud explosions, cries of pain; large sprays of blood come out of injured characters during the fast-paced combat. There are also close-up depictions of knife-stabbing (flesh-impact sounds) and melee attacks with a power drill."

Battlefield: Bad Company 2 will be released on PC, PS3 and Xbox 360 on March 5. A special edition of the title will feature six gameplay unlocks, including two classic weapons from Battlefield 1943 - the M1A1 submachine gun and the M1911 pistol.
