Battlefield: Bad Company 2 Vietnam announced for winter

EA’s just announced a new expansion pack for Battlefield: Bad Company 2, which sees a new location: Vietnam.
Revealed during its E3 press event, BFBC2′s first multiplayer Expansion Pack will allow players to fight as either a U.S. Marine or a North Vietnamese solider.
Be prepared to run through the jungle, we reckon.
Looks like there will loads of air invasions, guerrilla warfare, and of course, loads of trees in a hot humid environment.
No word on the inclusion of Agent Orange or not.
The expansion will be made available on PC, PS3 and Xbox 360 this winter. Pricing to still be determined.
Check out the announce trailer below.

Expansion pack as in DLC for BC2? I guess thats more acceptable. The idea sounds pretty lame though, and its hard not to point the copy-cat finger with Black-Ops just round the corner.

Wow, someone should really cut off the internet access in the Latvian looney bin…
BF is a load of crap. Trying to copy CoD just as usual. They have zero originality, whatsoever.

G1GA, I know you love trolling Bad Company stuff, but since when has CoD been a Vietnam game?
Anyhow, I’ll be over here playing games that don’t have a multiplayer amongst the 5 worst ever made.
Hopefully some interesting DLC here. Hopefully far better than some copy paste jobs and map design by numbers to go with my-first-FPS version 6.

Black Ops is clearly set in Vietnam (or a significant part of, at least), DUFFKING. This is obviously some sort of desperate attempt to join the party.

You have to be joking mate, Battlefield Vietnam came out on the PC a few years ago 0_o

So?
I don’t see any reason why they’d change their blatant desire to push themselves as a CoD alternative, which is why they’re doing this.
At the end of the day, millions of people are probably going to be playing Black Ops online when it gets released. So when that happens, BC2 is still going to be a year old game with probably a whole lot less players online, if you go by the patterns on the XBL rankings for example.
I’m not saying that they didn’t do Vietnam before, but I’m saying that they’re only re-visiting it in order to keep up with the competition.

Or perhaps DICE thought it would be a good idea to revisit something people have been asking for years!

@15 Yeah right Toilet Washer, no one plays Modern Warfare on PC now so go troll somewhere else please.

@16: So you think it’s just a genuine coincidence then?
They’re not trying to take any potential CoD:BO customers away, and they’re not bothered with CoD:BO at all?

Or not.

@19 Toilet Washer, stop being so mad about the thing that Battlefield games are much deeper, with 32 players on PC (24 on consoles) with destruction, vehicles and much better graphics.
and it’s not a coincidence, it’s not like they started developing after the announcement. Vietnam was a Battlefield game long ago. So i don’t see how Toilet washer is so pissed about.
Setting is setting. Who will have better game wins. But after the campaign level of Black Ops at Microsoft Press conference, i have no doubt that even Medal Of Honor (that in my opinion have better graphics, but worse feel then MW2 gameplay) will be better. But Battlefield:BC 2.. He he.. Whine as much as you want Toilet Washer
i will play a great game this year.

No I don’t think DICE have done this because of a game that was announced relatively recently when work was almost certainly in production for this expansion.

You DARE not answer GIGAHURTZ’S question? Know you’re place people!

14/06/10, 11:36 pm
You’re extremely naïve then.
Anyway, what details do you have on exactly when work was started on this DLC, bearing in mind that we’ve known about BO being in Vietnam for a good while now? In fact, when is this DLC due for release?

Hey Erthazus, I would ask you if you were involved in this, but there’s probably no way a sad retard like you could ever get a wife.

@25 He is just a toilet washer and creator of DRIV3R. He likes to make shitty games also.
@26 “You’re extremely naïve then.”
and you are a toilet washer
“if you were involved in this”
sure and i’m a winner. Next question?

@28: And calling me a “Toilet Washer” is perfectly fine is it?
@ Whizzo: Oh dear!
Yet ANOTHER coincidence!
Winter 2010. Around about the same time as CoD:BO is due out…
What a big surprise!
Or not.

@32 Ok, you done trolling Mr, Toilet washer? Ok, we all got it, you don’t like Battlefield:Bad company 2 series. OK.
EA is ripping off everybody. We got that.
Now go troll and praise Black Ops somewhere else, i’m here for the full information about Battlefield Vietnam game because it’s going to be a blast.

Yes you’re right about everything, it’s all a big plot to take customers away from the next Call of Duty, how could I have been so stupid. I apologise for not being a member of the Cult of Duty and not realising this.

It’s hardly a conspiracy to challenge a competing company on a section of turf. The basic reason for Bad Company has always been to provide an EA alternative to CoD. It’s not as if EA haven’t blatantly admitted it. Basically 70% of their press releases feature the word Activision or “competitors”.
That being said, I don’t see why they’re surprised their games aren’t selling better. When all you do is follow the leader, what you end up with is never going to be any better.

cmon people, cant we just get along
After all, we all know that both COD and Battlefield series suck equaly.
Halo Sucks
Xbox 360 Sucks
PS3 sucks
Blu-ray sucks
HDDVD sucks
everyone and everything sucks, at least according to all the damn fanboys.
I’ll say this though, I watched that trailer for BF, and it looks EXACTLY like COD MW2. Sorry Erthazus, but it does.
Of course, that’s to be expected as the COD is essentially king of the modern combat games, at least in sales.
I don’t care for either game that much, though i feel infinity ward made the better COD games by far.

Why not just admit you’re wrong instead of being such an utter retard?
You’re just a typical backwards BF fanboy with nothing intelligent to say.

to be fair erthazus i’ve noticed you be a cowardly twat at times to people who dont deserve it, the recent killzone thread, mass effect you come across as a patronising little upstart to anyone who likes it and correct me if i’m wrong halo (apologises if i’m wrong) so i think the whole outburst from you and others at GIGA is a bit hypocritical. sorry but i feel it needs to be said to you.
saying all that i think the DLC looks super and will be buying.
