I had a bit of a blast on this last night. A few thoughts spring to mind: the map design is pretty good, although a bit chokepoint-heavy on a couple of the maps. I'm not that much of a fan of the flamethrower. It's fun to use, sure, but you almost always get killed a few seconds after lighting up. Must make you easier to…
Battlefield: Bad Company 2 Vietnam

Strictly speaking this was revealed last week, but I have been away from my instruments, and therefore unable to continuously monitor The News. DICE have said there is a fifth BFBC2V map, but it's not going to be available right away. Why not? Well, it needs to be unlocked. They explain: "You and all your friends playing on PS3, PC, or Xbox 360 need to…
EDIT: I didn't realise this was a mandatory update. Expect to download 2.6gb next time you play the game! Ugh. There are two pieces of Battlefield news! First is that the latest BFBC2 map pack will arrive some time today. It's looking like the best of the map packs so far, with four new maps. FOUR NEW MAPS. JESUS CHRIST! There are two maps from…
This weekend I found myself on the RPS BFBC2 server - as part of our rather oversubscribed RPS Game Club - and I began to remember why I have played more of that game than any other this year.

Naam nam, naaaaaaaam nam naaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaam. Nam! Nam! Naaaaaaaam. That's an early draft of my movie about some American veterans talking in a bar. They're somewhat reminiscing, and somewhat excited because they're looking forward to the DLC pack for Battlefield Bad Company 2, Vietnam. There's a new…
Except when it is! And especially when we get some BFBC2: Vietnam footage via the international eye of GameTrailers, a sinister eye which is currently floating silently at the shoulders of NYCC attendees and beaming back these pictures. That's the New York Comic Convention, of course. They don't just talk comics these days, no sir. And bless their juxtapositions of words and pictures, our undead…

If there's one thing we know about Vietnam, it's that the scenery is destructible. It makes sense, therefore, that Battlefield Bad Company 2 should be taking a trip there for the purposes of a multiplayer expansion. DICE say: "Featuring four new maps playable in classic Battlefield modes including Conquest and Rush, Battlefield: Bad Company 2 Vietnam will be available worldwide this winter." There's no price…
