BFBC2 gets Vietnam-set DLC expansion News • News • Eurogamer.net

News PC Xbox 360 PlayStation 3

Dead Space 2, MoH and its beta dated.

EA has announced a DLC multiplayer expansion pack for Battlefield: Bad Company 2 set in Vietnam. It will be released in winter 2010.

A very short teaser was shown of jungle action set to a Creedence Clearwater Revival tune. The press release confirms that you'll be able to play as either US Marines or North Vietnamese Army.

Meanwhile, Medal of Honor was confirmed for a 12th October release date, and Dead Space 2 will be released on 25th January 2011 (28th in Europe).

A multiplayer beta for Medal of Honor will open on 21st June across all three formats: PS3, Xbox 360 and PC.

A live 24-player multiplayer match was played on stage at EA's press conference. It took place in a tight, close-quarters urban map in the dusty streets of Kabul and looked very reminiscent of Modern Warfare multiplayer.

These and other EA action games will be tied together by a new web loyalty scheme called EA Gun Club. Gun Club will reward gamers for playing EA games with exclusive news, early demo and beta access and in-game items (guns, probably).

A trailer soundtracked by Steve Lee's country song "I like guns" showed games like Battlefield Heroes and Dead Space 2 as well as Bad Company and Medal of Honor.

Bad Company 2 VIPs who sign up to Gun Club and pre-order Medal of Honor will get early beta access.

See you on the beach! Wait...

BFBC2 DLC? Heard that one before...

Even if it is new - it's coming about six months too late. I retired it about a six weeks ago, tired of the same maps.

With regards to that Vietnam DLC, WIN

Awesome news - if we're talking MP maps. Please don't be just a couple of campaign missions.

Can't wait for Vietnam. Still going strong on BFBC2 even after 3.5 days worth of play.

I ain't no senator's son! Woooo, go home GI.

Can't wait for this. Hope it's the full nod to BFV that's well overdue.

oops

The sound was so awesome on the live MOH MP. It sounded so much better than BC2 (which is damn impressive)!

BC2 spoiled me, I found it really jarring that all the trees in the MW: Black Ops vids weren't being cut down by a hail of missiles fired from the chopper...

Can we get a rewrite? Reads as if Dead Space 2 has a beta!

I hope that BFBC2 DLC has the same music features as BF:Vietnam had... nothing quite like napalming a paddy field* to the sound of Deep Purple.

*in my case, napalming a palm tree, missing the paddy field and flying into a mountain

EA Gun Club?! WTF?

I might play shooters but I don't want to be in a gun club, virtual or otherwise.

Wow, this is the unneccessary half-sequel that BF: Vietnam was before the proper sequel of BF2. I can't understand why anyone bought it when the Eve of Destruction mod for 1942 was far superior.

I've just about had enough of Bad Company 2 now... the tiny maps, balancing issues and lack of vehicular mayhem on an appropriate scale have made me lose interest. I'm not really interested in DLC or 'loyalty schemes' given EA's lost that with the quality of the content in their their so-called 'VIP' program.

Just the soundtrack alone coupled with the mayhem will be worth the price... such fond memories of BF:V whose soundtrack was stunning and one of my all time favourites.

people will probaly get sick of this as quickly as the original maps because dice make shit, featureless maps; the same textures are used throughout and there is no variety in buildings therefore the wholemap looks samey and boring

People who play this game must have taken some severe beatings on mw2,and are too scared to return.I can't think of any other reason why this piece of garbage is played.
