Battlefield: Bad Company 2 Vietnam at TGS 2010

by Brian Leahy, Sep 08, 2010 1:10pm PDT

While we all wait on the big Battlefield 3 reveal, it looks like DICE will be bringing Battlefield: Bad Company 2 Vietnam to Japan to "showcase" the game for the first time.

Announced at E3 2010, BF: BC2 Vietnam is a digital expansion that includes Vietnam-era weapons and vehicles playable on four new maps. Though pricing has not been announced, the amount of content announced and the "digital" label probably means this is most likely paid DLC.

Battlefield: Bad Company 2 Vietnam is due out this winter and will require a copy of the original game. The debut trailer can be viewed below.

  • My hope is that this has a proper AK47 or AKM (i.e. one in 7.62x39 with all the (greater) damage and (in)accuracy ramifications that has (maybe give its bullets gravity drop...7.62x39 always had a nasty drop beyond 200-300 meters)). Or better yet a Type-56 Underfoldah. I also really want an RPK...RPKs are fucking awesome. Hell if we're going class specific then the Assault should get an AKM or AK47 (or Type-56), the Engi should get an Underfolder AKM (AKMS I believe...or Type-56-1), Medic could get an RPK and maybe an RPD (though RPKs are more awesome), and the Recon could get a Dragunov, or FPK, or perhaps an SVT-40 or Mosin (not sure if the FPK saw any use in Vietnam...I think the SVD saw a little...and I'm pretty sure the SVT-40 and Mosin saw quite a bit). The SKS also needs worked in there somehow (shitload of those were used). And ofcourse all the vintage US/allied weaponry (classic M-16s, Car-15s, British issued FALs, wood-stocked M14s, etc)...though I have a hard-on for Soviet weaponry for some weird reason.

    My next hope is that the new weapons will work in existing maps (the new stuff shouldn't throw balance off at all really...it'd just be more stuff)...I really want to use an AKM or RPK all the fucking time!
