I'll buy the expansion no problems, runs perfect on my PC and I love it so i'm looking forward to Vietnam which is out after MOH too so will breath new life into an old game

People are so quick to complain about games its a shame they are taken for granted when you look at far they have come in such a short time

I thought DICE had learnt their lesson about dividing the community with SF? Is it not the reason the map packs are free?

I think EA realised this is a cash cow now and don't care about community. The community will be spilt after this expansion as it has been in the past. DICE know this but are probably being mounted from behind by EA.
Shame really, it could have made BC2 a behemoth with its free content.
 
Apparently this expansion only has 4 maps as well, or going by how dice seem to classify seperate maps probably 1 map with 4 different modes on it. :rolleyes: The trailer seems somewhat misleading showing jets in action, i really can't see jets being in this considering the small scale of the maps in bc2. Unless theyre massively sluggish you'd be at one side of the map and back again in a couple of seconds.

Hueys are something they should have considered for Bc2, theyre still used by the military in both gunship and transportation roles.

The only dev that actively likes to build communities is Valve. Even they have caused controversy though (L4D/L4D2 etc). EA, Activision, etc, all in it for the ability to build a cash cow that they can exploit with add-on's and sequels.

The fact that every now and again we get a game that is actually any good is by the by. If we keep buying into it, then they'll keep on doing it...!
 
We have had a dry spell with games for a long time but it's a shame when new games are released in such quick succession as it divides the community and shows it's all about the money. Part of me wishes BC2 had not been released on PC cos although it is incredibly addictive i dont think it's as good as BF2 but has greatly reduced the number of people still playing BF2.

Also releasing a game that isnt finished and screwing it up further with patches that dont work or dont arrive pees people off and reduces the likelihood of them coming back to a franchise.
 
A few more details for the Vietnam expansion, me personaly, I am looking forward to it as I still think bfbc2 is a great game, maybe people expect too much now.


"On stage at the EA E3 press conference we announced a new expansion of Battlefield: Bad Company 2 with a new take on a Battlefield franchise favourite, Vietnam. In Battlefield Bad Company 2 Vietnam you get to enter the jungle warfare environment as either the U.S. Marines or North Vietnamese Army (NVA). The expansion pack contains 4 brand new maps built in Frostbite including the popular Conquest and Rush game modes as well as Vietnam specific weapons, vehicles, persistence, unlocks as well as new awards, achievements and trophies."
 
I take it BC2 has just had some new hacks released. Was just in a server with people getting rocket kills on atacama from 2 bases away, didn't matter where you were hiding the rockets were raining down on your location literally from over half a map away. Some noobs using the tag [GEO]. :rolleyes:

Ive noticed that occasionally, sometimes when im flying a heli i seem to get a very quick flash of it. Thats on a gtx295.
 
I think its Nvidia driver related but not sure I also think its to do with settings all set to max, are yours set to max? Wont find out until the next driver is released, its no big deal but its a shame

Isn't this just people using the dart pistol to mark targets?

I haven't had a change to try it out and unsure on its lock-on range but rings a bell.

Nope, this was a combination of people using gustavs and magically getting hits from over half a map away. When we finally took position c then the tow rocket came into effect and that was also magically accurate, nomatter what building people were hiding in the rocket was impacting the walls right next to them. Nomatter where people were hiding the rockets were basically homing in on them time after time even though the enemy were all in their base.

This was happening a while back, I remember seeing a guy in his enemy base just stood there firing rockets and the rocket would just lock onto the nearest enemy and hit them, it went away and I didnt see it again but must be back, hopefully PB will update and ban them
