Battlefield: Bad Company 2 Vietnam Unveiled

by Alice O'Connor, Sep 16, 2010 9:00am PDT

A sombre Battlefield: Bad Company 2 cinematic trailer and several screenshots have been deployed from the Tokyo Game Show to give our best look so far at DICE's multiplayer "digital expansion pack" for Battlefield: Bad Company 2.

Set during the ill-conceived conflict, Battlefield: Bad Company 2 Vietnam will feature four new maps "from the rice fields of the Phu Bai Valley to the napalm scorched earth of Hill 137." New toys include 15 weapons and 6 vehicles, such as the Huey helicopter, T54 tank and PBR patrol boat. As you can't mythologise Nam without rockin' tunes, there'll be 8 radio channels playing 49 tracks, with Wagner's 'Ride of the Valkyries'--as heard in Apocalypse Now--and 'Fortunate Son' by Creedence Clearwater Revival among them.

Announced during E3, Battlefield: Bad Company 2 Vietnam will be released for download this winter on PC, Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3. The price is yet unknown.

It reminded me of The Pacific. The narrative and all that.

Then the explosion at the end reminded me of Tropic Thunder near the beginning when they explode the tree line.

Lynard Skynard are awesome, and made this trailer worth it. I'm looking forward to this mainly for the music. (and a bit of shooting.)

Four fucking maps? That's supposed to be enough to resuscitate BC2?

DICE is destroying Bad Company 2 in order to save it. Or something.

Strangely not too excited about this - I just didn't find BF:BC2 as compelling as past BF games - I suspect some of that is how consolized it still felt (in several small, but important ways - at least important to me, anyway).

So I bought BC2 for 26 bucks on steam. I haven't played a Battlefield game since BF1942. It's a fun multiplayer game, but after playing it for awhile I realized it really isn't any different than the desert combat mod for BF1942. It's kind of sad, because with that mod the maps were probably four times the size of BC2's levels. Not that big levels equal superior gameplay, but if you asked me back then where the battlefield series was heading, I wouldn't've said treading water.

So, a map pack for Call of Duty is $10. This is an expansion pack, which is basically a map pack with new weapons and music. Therefore, it will be $20. No doubt.
