Shockblast Media: Battlefield: Bad Company 2 VIP Pack 7 Video Walk Through And Review

From ShockblastMedia.com: "VIP Map Pack 7 represents the two of the first true new maps as part of the VIP program on Battlefield: Bad Company 2, and after just 24 hours, really seems to have brought interest back into the game. Through the course of the VIP program, DICE has been releasing ports of existing maps in different formats, which has definitely been a cause for excitement when the maps finally hit, but still at the end of the day, the excitement tended to be short lived since they were essentially the same old maps. Then there were the maps that never got their ports that everyone waited for, like Valparaiso and Isla Inocentes on Conquest or especially Panama Canal and Laguna Alta on Rush." -

One of the guys I play with hated the Harvest Day layout, said their was a missing base from Bad Company 1.

The base was moved slightly more upstream due to balance issues in testing I believe.

I love the scale of the maps, they are HUGE... both Oasis and Harvest day make Rush a whole new experience.

after going through hell to download those with my slow internet
i played those maps few times then i stopped
its not like they are bsa i love them
they are HUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUGE with a lot of cover even in open spaces(( high grass ))

which makes them perfect for snipers
but i think its too late
i mean when the game ends and we spawn in a new map
every one just go out and there is no one to play with
the only thing why PPL play these game now is because of those 4 new maps
and thats it

but i love them
im going back to play those later on

I haven't played the two new ones but the classic maps aren't sniper dominated at all.

Oasis especially was loved for wide openness AND intense CQC. The Rush progression combines both these well.

Love the new maps, just trying to get my stupid Demolition Man trophy so that I can get my Platinum

I played 3 or 4 games on those maps and saw 1 sniper... the people who left BC2 where the assault guys, the general FPS sort, leaving the hardcore battlefield people behind to moan about the snipers.

Did anyone have problems playing Oasis map? I was never able to get into that map for Conquest mode yesterday. I received connection error messages and when it looked like I was finally in at the Join Squad Yes or No screen it was loading for over 5 minutes. I just gave up on that map, but was able to play the other map.

How is heavy metal? I'm really interested to see how it is since its so huge(thats what she said).

[bananasNmonkeys]

I had worries when I heard about it, but if you like 'old school' battlefield maps you will love it.

And i'm a sucker for a long draw distance:)

It's pretty cool but I hate the fact that 95% of the players are bushwookies and just kill from afar.....I hate bushwookies (normal wookies are ok though)

[Yomiro]

I have never lost interest for this game...I love this game.

I was playing these new maps fine yesterday on my ps3 but today none of my VIP maps are showing up wtf????
