At E3, EA and DICE have announced that Battlefield Bad Company 2 will be sending gamers back in time to "an entirely new theatre of war" - Vietnam:
Fighting as either U.S. Marines or North Vietnamese Army (NVA), the hostile combat terrain of the Vietnamese jungle is brought dramatically to life via the Frostbite engine with a host of authentic vehicles and weapons with which to engage the enemy. The punishing jungles, powerful air invasions, and guerilla tactics of an unpredictable enemy deliver non-stop action in this sandbox environment, a signature design style of the award-winning Swedish studio. With more than 5M units sold, Battlefield: Bad Company 2 has been hailed as, “…a better game than Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2” by Seth Schiesel of The New York Times.
The Battlefield: Bad Company 2 Vietnam digital expansion pack takes all of the intensity, action and addictive gameplay of Battlefield: Bad Company 2 and ups the ante with enhanced persistence, new weapons, vehicles, unlocks, awards, achievements and trophies.
There'll be four new maps available as part of this DLC, with pricing to be announced later (seems safe to assume that it will be a paid download for PC users as well given the carefully chosen title of "digital expansion pack"). A teaser trailer is
also available.

I hope so eh. I notice there's a setting for 'carradio' in the settings.cfg for BC2
the YouTube promo vid doesn't seem to show much, though that'll change I guess
*edit*
is there a new single player mission???

I'm sure a lot of work went into it but it's not like it's something new, the video already gives one of the maps away.

I'm still hanging on in hope they do a full 1942 remake with the frostbite engine and full game content of BF1942 with all the vehicles/maps - i miss that game so much :(

If there was a man/woman/yeti standing behind me with a gun to my head telling me to buy either this or the modern warfare 2 expansion maps, I'd pick this without even thinking about it.
Since there's no gun I'll wait until I see the price to confirm or deny.

All I see it doing is removing the UAV and motion sensors and all the cool s***, and replacing them with s***tier guns.

Oh I thought it was like the Team Arena thing for quake 3. Is it just a couple of maps or something? Like I said, I'll wait for the price to say yes or no on this one as I'm still more willing to pay for decent addons for BC2 as it's infinitely better than MW2.

It's really just a money making scan tbh. Exactly the same as Medal of honor.

I think you're the one that's broken. Works fine for me
Posted 01:55pm 16/6/10
What about the horrid knife? and the pathetic support for competitive gameplay?
I don;t understand why they are releasing a DLC and a new game at the same time, obviously for money hoarding.

Do you mean that they made it not kill on purpose?
Or do you mean they made it 2 hits to kill?
And the knife is ridiculously retarded, I have many a time clicked my knife button and done a 180 off a cliff and back up to kill someone.

I'm thinking it's PC gamers who are broken. We went next gen awhile ago and most of you who I've played with still can't seem to use the ingame voip.
works fine here, along with others (TS/etc). Hardcore is s*** without teamwork.. 90% of that is talking with your squaddies.
jesus - go back to Quake/CS

they're reversing the recent change to allow backstabbing again.
MG3 is getting ramped up to be the king of medic guns.. this'll be interesting...
