Bad Company 2 'Vietnam' Expansion Announced

oh WOW, i really am conflicted about this.

BC2 is simply terrible IMO but Battlefield Vietnam was some of the best times I have had gaming. Fix the guns so they aren't pieces of junk like in BC2 and I might be sold.

Remember when this was called Battlefield Vietnam?

Fuck, stop buying and supporting this garbage.

I'm really suprised by the negative comments in here. Bad Company 2 is the best thing to happen to multi-player PC gaming in years. Obviously the maps take a lot of work to make, but I've gotten tremedious milage out of them (I can only think of one that I'm tired of).

Battlefield Vietnam was shit at realease but once patched up, I thought it was more fun then '42. Of course by then everyone had moved on, so you'll just have to take my word for it that a return to the 'nam really is a good thing.

Where the fuck is battlefield 3.

fuck yes!

They sure made a good decision here! All my old BF:V friends talk about how great this would be. I figured it was just an ignorant dream. Man they topped it off with the talking head on the megaphone at the end, brought me back to some of the best gaming of my life. I'm so excited!!!

Winter is too little too late for FOUR new maps. Brink should be out by then.
Additionally, Fortunate Son should be banned from Vietnam themed media.

Cautiously optimistic.

finally! i loved BF vietnam for the original 1942.

I hope we get a 2142 dlc too... it'd be fun to smash up some buildings in a walker

Do you need to have BC2 for this? Or is this an entirely new game?

I held off on buying BC2, but should I get it now?

I support this endeavor if its reasonably priced. 4 maps makes me cringe though. A lot.

Wait n' See for me.

All they need is airhauling tanks and I might actually buy BC2 for this

Only four maps? There better be a lot of other new stuff as well, otherwise they are pulling MW2-type shenanigans.

Actually, this is what I was hoping for in DLC...something with some classic cold war weaponry!

If they give me a Type-56 or AKM or AK47 in 7.62x39...then I'll be all over this (especially if the classic weapons can be used across the board). It'd be less accurate but do a damned good bit of damage at close range but it'd have a lot of drop.

Hell, you could give the assault an AKM (or AK47 milled), the Medic could get an RPK, the engineer could get an underfolder (maybe a Type-56 as there were a lot of them in 'nam), and the Recon could get an SVD (dragonov) or an SVT-40 or perhaps a Mosin. They could also work in an SKS in there (perhaps as an across the board unlockable).

On the US side you could have classic M16s (less accurate than a modern M16, and in full auto instead of 3 round burst and with slightly more damage (less stable bullets than the current issue rounds as I remember along with a different twist)). You could have classic wood stocked M14s, M1 carbines, silenced Mac-10s and Car15s, British issue FALs, and just a shit load of stuff.

If they give the ability to use these weapons on standard maps as well (and they wouldn't be unbalanced so much as different) that would be great. I already love the hell out of BC2 (my favorite multiplayer game of the last two years)...and this seems like the direction I'd like to see them go in with the expansion. Its a hell of a lot better than a spattering of overpriced fucking maps from the previous game (that happened to be a much better game....COD4 > MW2 IMHO).

This better have Jefferson Airplane - White Rabbit somehow or I'm going to personally visit the devs! =)

I hope DICE breaks up the terrain a bit. Jungle maps get old pretty quickly.

BF: V gets a lot of flak around here but I actually dug it.

I have had a ton of converstations with other BF players and we all talked about how amazing it would be to see the Vietnam version redone with Frostbite 2.0. Awesome DICE, I am really looking forward to it.

Boo

Sign me up.

Reminds me of the WWII addon to Battlefield Vietnam. Excet in reverse. Also hueys are cool. This should be fun!

This sounds like it may be DLC done right as long as it's priced properly. I'm very excited!

Awesome I dug the CCR man good stuff
