Unlock fifth Bad Company 2 map together

By Robert Purchese Published 3 December, 2010

Operation Hastings needs 69m team actions.

DICE has another Battlefield: Vietnam map for Bad Company 2 - but this time you'll have to earn it. You and the entire Bad Company 2 community, that is.

Clock up a staggering 69 million team actions in either Bad Company 2 or the Vietnam expansion and ding, the Operation Hastings map from Battlefield: Vietnam will be unlocked.

This event spans PC, PS3 and Xbox 360, and DICE starts counting team actions on 21st December - the day the Bad Company 2 expansion Vietnam is released.

Team actions are resupply, heal, revive, spot and repair.

Eurogamer got a sneak peek at the Vietnam expansion for Battlefield: Bad Company 2 last month.

The Vietnam expansion can be pre-ordered on PC from the EA Store now. It costs a tenner.

'Nam your price.

    Have they sorted the spawn camping that made me stop playing multiplayer months ago?

  • Bibbo #2 1 year ago

    Far from it. A good team never gets spawn camped anyway, and if you do. Chances are very high you'll counter it in seconds and camp their asses in a revenge attack. :D

    Yeah been the victim of spawn camping on the Nelson Bay & Arica Harbour maps on Conquest a few times. Very frustrating, but in fairness, it doesn't happen very often.

  • asharkman #4 1 year ago

    It usually happens when your team is getting their asses kicked.
    But go dice.
    Really looking forward to nam and the new maps that they just made available.

  • Bradach #5 1 year ago

    great support for a great game. Good work DICE. looking forward to Battlefield 3 next year

  • FogHeart #6 1 year ago

    Encourage teamwork (always a difficult proposition) by rewarding with what players want the most - a new map?

    Genius.

  • Emmit_Assassin #7 1 year ago

    I take it this new map will only be available in the Vietnam side of things? Will I be able to play on it even if I don't download Vietnam straight away?
    I will be at some point, but I got such a big back catalogue to get through, its got to get put off for a bit.

  • gjgjg #8 1 year ago

    Cool idea. Will give the pack a kind of 'relaunch' effect. (No doubt to boost sales--nothing wrong with that!)

  • Golgo #9 1 year ago

    The best way they could encourage me to re-purchase this (admittedly stellar) game, would be to get EA to fix the servers/random disconnects.

    Neg away, but I'm afraid it's true.

    21 December is my mum's birthday. She'll be delighted at this news!

  • DUFFKING #11 1 year ago

    Spawn camping is only really an issue on Rush mode after you capture a base. Unfortunatey it's been getting quite bad recently. Nothing more annoying than some prat constantly spawning his squad in at the back of your base because it's the only way they can think of to score points.

  • hiddenranbir #12 1 year ago

    Lock and load troops! BATTLEFIELD YEAH!

  • TheJuriel #13 1 year ago

    I love Bad Company, but the whole Vietnam thing is leaving me cold.

  • thedgam #14 1 year ago

    lol 69.

  • metallicorphan #15 1 year ago

    i seriously need to grab hold of this game again

  • riz23 #16 1 year ago

    So is the bfbc2 Vietnam expansion basically old pc bf Vietnam glossed up for the 21st century? Not that that is entirely bad, I had great times scooting about in a jeep listening to that surfin' bird song (someone will know what I mean). Which map was operation Hastings then? The one with the river down the middle and those cool patrol boats? It was a long time ago....
    Edit: actually I think it was the one with the temple in it that the Viet Cong spawned from. Lots of jungle and a rope bridge..
