It's only been a couple of months and 2010 is already shaping up to be one of the best ever for gamers. If your wallet hasn't already been emptied, Electronic Arts and development studio DICE have tossed yet another videogame on the pile that can't be missed. Battlefield: Bad Company 2 ups the intensity and visual prowess of its predecessor, while still delivering one of the most compelling multiplayer games around.
With Black Friday having come and gone, you’d be forgiven for thinking that the best gaming deals have already happened, well, think again, Amazon is running another promotion, that will make your Christmas shopping so much easier. The world’s largest online retailer has cut the price of Electronic Arts’ latest and biggest games for today only.
Got Ultimate Dragon age for $25.00 (sale) on Impulse and Need For Speed HS for $39.99 (coupon).
Those are not that great of a deal for PC.
For $39.99, with a coupon? Well, its $34.99 without the need to use up a coupon
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).
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)
I was playing these new maps fine yesterday on my ps3 but today none of my VIP maps are showing up wtf????
From ShockblastMedia: "Apparently some time in the last 24-48 hours, someone got their hands on some kind of internal beta for the VIP Map Pack 7 for Battlefield: Bad Company 2 on the PC. While DICE seems to have taken control of the situation and shut down the servers the games were being played on, a few lucky (or soon to be unlucky?) souls were brave enough to make some videos of their soiree into the land of the unknown and I have gone ahead and posted what is still alive and kicking below. "
All I have to say is..Epic..
I think I'm gonna like that heavy metal map a lot. Its enormous. As long as I don't end up having to run all the way. lol.

Gamefly is selling used copies for $14.99
I bought two. Both came with unused VIP pass codes too.. WIN
Can't wait, I absolutely loved Oasis and Harvest Day in BC1. BC2 to the rescue after CoD: BO and MoH were total let downs. BC2 Vietnam will be awesome too!
Saweet! Just hit rank 48 tonight. More maps are always a good thing!
EDIT: Woah. Did they change the Russian team from speaking Russian to English!?
No, it's just an option to turn the VO to english. It's been there in the options forever.
Is this just available on the PC version? Because, I don't think I've seen this option in the PS3 version.
EDIT: Nevermind, I got it. Thanks, TheBand1t!
+bubbs
this annoys me when people don't have this on and they dont hear the
MEDKIT
DROPPED A MEDKIT
COME GET YOUR MEDKIT
*runs in with 2 health and gets sniped*
FUuuuUUUUU
edit:go to options... come on now use some common sense :D
Sound is the second most important part to doing well in this game, so make sure you also set up the sound settings for your speakers. Avoid the "TV" setting because it compresses the audio and you wont be able to tell how far away those footsteps, support classes, or gunshots are
Oasis was awesome in the first game and this will be even more awesome, same map, more polish :-) Personally I'm more excited about harvest day, it was always my favorite in the first game.
If you got a decent PC then you can buy BFBC2 on the PC for £13 from Amazon or £20 from Steam, can't wait for this new map pack as well as the Vietnam expansion pack.
Is this getting a release in Australia?
Amazing game.
Salute to Dice.
Now only if I can get my PS3 version of Bc2 back =/
Bloody friend took it w/o me telling.
Oh well, till then I got my PC copy to hold me out :)
How can they call this the "Ultimate" edition when it doesnt even include SPECACT and Vietnam? That's just bull.
Why is IGN reviewing the same game twice? I think simply reviewing Onlsaught mode wold suffice. It's the only difference between the launch edition and the "Ultimate Edition"
