Surprisingly to me, BF:BC2 seems to contain a mission, that is located in a World War II environment.
That is, what the ESRB (Entertainment Software Rating Board) states in their rating-comment for Bad Company 2.

"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."

RATING INFORMATION

Battlefield: Bad Company 2

Platform: Windows PC, PlayStation 3, Xbox 360

Rating: Mature

Content descriptors: Blood, Strong Language, Violence

Rating summary:

This is a first-person shooter featuring two modes of gameplay: single player, in which players control soldiers on a mission to stop terrorists; and multiplayer, in which players engage in team-based combat ("Conquest," "Rush," "Squad Rush," and "Squad Death Match"). Both modes involve using machine guns, rifles, grenade launchers, and rockets to kill enemy soldiers on the battlefield. 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. 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. Multiplayer mode tends to involve more goal-oriented tasks, such as "capturing-the-flag," destroying and defending crates, point-based fighting. Characters use profanity (e.g., "f**k," "sh*t," and "a*shole") during cutscenes and in the heat of battle.

Almost sounds like the confused it with BF1943.

I read another report, that it will be some kind of prologue (or a draw back in history of war) within the SP storyline.

Another thought: That would explain the M1 Garand and the m1911 in the weapons overview.
Some nice add-ons for Battlefield Veterans in the standard-game and maybe some standard weapons in a WWII map

We will see I would love to have one WWII map in SP with that new game-engine.
