GameSpot writes: "EA hasnt been shy about releasing regular post-launch content updates for its Battlefield Bad Company 2 game since the title went on sale earlier this year. Six free map packs have been released in total, tacking on additional maps at no cost and giving the already brimming online community of shooters something new to play with. Teased briefly at this years E3, Battlefield: Bad Company 2 Vietnam marks a turning point in the DLC strategy, reskinning and aging the existing multiplayer game to provide players with the same shooter experience they've come to know and love, and moved it into a different time period. EA was showing off the expansion at its TGS 2010 press conference, and we got our hands on it".
The Battlefield Bad Company series has reached levels of critical acclaim by critics and gamers alike. Five years after the release of Bad Company 2, gamers are left asking, "Where is Bad Company 3?"
I LOVED Bad Company 2, I remember throwing my CoD away when I got my hands on some BC:2. The maps weren't insanely large but large enough, the destruction was great and everything about the game just felt tight.
I don't know why but when I played Battlefield 3 it just didn't have that same charm as BC: 2 did.
I agree completely. Plus there were so many ways to go about taking on an objective. Battlefield 3/4 feel more linear.
The destructible environments is definitely what drew me into the game. It was so gratifying to be able to perch a tank on a hill top and destroy targets simply by shelling and bringing down an entire building on top of said targets.
Bad Company 2 was the only game at the time that got my attention away from the MW2 craze that was still in motion. BC2 is probably the last military oriented FPS I can say I loved. So many good times. Sad to see it came out 5 years ago and no word of a sequel.
I have been a huge Battlefield fan since the series first launched on PC. Sadly, so many console players have never played the earlier games in the series so they have no idea just how great the games were before the Bad Company titles.. Thankfully, Battlefield is moving back towards its roots and steering away from Bad Company.
Battlefield really needs to make a stand with this game.... better be good to keep its fans happy.
i really wish i didnt listen to that guy at gamestop, he lied to me saying battlefield badcompany 2 was not better than COD black ops. months later i buy BFBC2 and im blown away from the gameplay. COD black ops do not deserve the sale numbers it got. i agree with this guy in the vid i searched to see BF2 gameplay and never have i been able on a console game online been able to play on such maps where i can fly a JET! never was a battlefield fan but they made me one with BFBC@ look forward to BF3 i know its going to be crazy
sales ppl are like reviewers...they only give THEIR opinion on games, not facts...i like to hear what they say about things, but ultimately I make my own decisions
that is funny....pleas hack me.
I am stoked and can only hope this game is amazing....
DBL
I like the Bad Companies, 2 was amazing IMO, vietnam was a good edition also. the Campaign blew me away though. Not entirely sure why but it blew me away. Battlefield 3 shall beat whatever COD comes out hands down
If it were PC only that may be the case but since its a console game too its pretty much guaranteed to have a campaign
But Battlefield doesn't have any sort of story line. DICE better not be wasting their time on some lame ass campaign.
Battlefield has always been multiplayer only.
especially if it is as bad as the linear rubbish they called bad company 2. you can still have a decent story that has nothing to do with the MP. more sales as it gives everyone a reason to buy it. i quite enjoyed the BF2 xbox campaign and didn't even mind the character swapping in it.
if it is done right (bad company 1 for example) it is just a big sandpit to mess around and/or practice in.
The game was all about the multiplayer but I enjoyed BF BC 2 campaign more than Black Ops. They both felt like nice optional extras I could breeze through in 4 hours or so each and while there was no meat to them they were a fun distraction. Considering the Developers generally cheap out on singleplayer modes these days it was nice to have something to do while servers were acting up or my internet was down
Battlefield 3 NEEDS a good recording tool.
I hate having to verbally explain this crazy kill I got that involves a helicopter, C4 and a large house or something.
An improved BattleRecorder from BF2 would be awesome.
Duke Nukem Plays Battlefield Bad Company 2, do you think you can beat him?
Reminds me of a youtube Cod Booster Justice video where Duke takes out the trash there, tho this had some amazing shots.
Somehow loading a heli with TNT jumping out n blowing up another heli with it is just dam beautiful
Totaly, Sandy Ravage wannabe or it's sandy ravage other channel.
But clearly yes it sounds and look like one of his productions
The duke wouldn't use sniper so much, though. He'd be cramming grenades down throats and punching out tanks.
This guy might be the first gamer I've ever envied and wanted to be. That was awesome and Duke's voice was great.
That was just so kick ass though, most entertaining thing ive seen thus far today.
That was not skill it was all set up. Didnt anyone notice how nobody on the other team was shooting him? Man I wish whenever I played nobody on the other team would shoot me so then I can get cool kills too!!!!! Fake video.
damn it, I took down a HIND with a tank, and 3 others with guided rockets, and was feeling pretty epic
see this
D'OH
go back MUST SURPASS!!!!
epic though =)
I took down a helicopter with a tank from one base to another on Oasis, as it was flying at full speed from left to right, I calculated it perfectly... he and his passanger must have felt so bad.
By far one of my favorite PC battlefields, I am excited about this game. But the real question is this, can I have my own music when I get into vehicles? There was something very awesome about playing Prodigy`s FireStarter as I hoped into my F4 to go Napalm people, lol
" EA reps on hand at the event confirmed that B:BC2 Vietnam will not include any single-player component and will be entirely focused on expanding online competitive and cooperative play."
Boo, I was gonna buy this on account of a single-player mode. oh well
