Battlefield: Bad Company 2/Port Valdez

Port Valdez is an arctic vehicular map. Vehicles will often be forced to using a single large road that stretches across the map to be able to manoeuvre. Alternate routes exist but are often physically barricaded, making it difficult to navigate.

The map has 3 flags during Conquest mode, four stages during Rush with two M-COMs each (for a total of eight M-COM stations for the attackers to destroy), and just two M-COMs for the game's Squad Rush mode. Squad Deathmatch is not supported for this map.

Rush
A rarity for most Bad Company 2 maps, the Americans are defending while the Russians are attacking. This is a good spot to look for American stationary machine guns and other weapons; more often than not emplaced weapons will be of the Russian variety.

The attacking team starts in mid air. They parachute out of AI-controlled transport planes. During the drop they are vulnerable to long-range attacks from the defender's side; however, shooting parachuting enemies can prove difficult. Once one member of your squad hits the ground, you can use him or her as a spawn point to avoid being sniped while parachuting. Also during the drop there will be several explosions around you; these explosions are scripted and will not harm you in any way.

At the base, Russian players will find a pair of Quad Bikes, a UAV station, a T-90, and a BMD-3 anti-aircraft vehicle.
