BBC2: Vietnam – PC Gamers are Fortunate Sons

Comments Off on BBC2: Vietnam – PC Gamers are Fortunate Sons

The Battlefield Bad Company 2 digital expansion Vietnam has been released as of last Saturday – but only on the PC. Today it is released to our console cousins as well.

PC gamers were pleasantly surprised to discover that they (for once) were the beneficiaries of a platform exclusive and spend much of the weekend grenading, shooting and burning each other out of the four (for now) atmospheric maps that form the expansion.

Overall impressions are good and the weapons have been very well handled.
Criticism (such as there is) involves difficultly in picking out the enemy because of the subdued colours used and the highly chokepoint-focused nature of the maps.

New Month! New Maps!

Yes, the latest Battlefield: Bad Company 2 client patch (R9) is upon us and with it come four brand spanking new maps; two from the BC2 single-player game and two from the original Bad Company game.
So, download the patch, fire up the game and explore the lovely new open maps – assuming the blasted snipers haven’t beaten you to it!

Rejoice oh jungly ones – Can you hear the music?
We also (finally) have confirmation that the BC2 Vietnam expansion will be hitting our download queues on 21st December – just in time for the Winter Solstice for all you militaristic pagans out there.
So once again you can announce your presence to the world by playing period music as you speed along in your selected mode of transport.
