Doesn't look like there's going to be a Panama Rush. Hopefully I am wrong and these are just the next few sets.

Here's some images of the mode packs (Port Valdez has the grenade launcher buggy).

And to answer your question: White Pass Rush and Atacama Rush
Oooh Nelson Bay Conquest is set in the daytime.
I just played NB and thought it would make a good conquest map. White Pass for Rush seems odd though. It's very small and linear, seems like Canal would be an easier transition.

looks so good.
o the choke point between b and c on Valdez is gonna be crazy

@Mr Sandman: that list shows Laguna Alta Rush as already being available, and Laguna Presa Rush as still to come.

Laguna Alta is pretty small for a rush map...
Nelson Bay in the day for Conquest? BOOOOOOOOO
Nelson Bay in the day for Conquest? BOOOOOOOOO
unless they change up some geometry (like they did with Arica Harbor), the Russian team is screwed! attacing and defending B is gonna be way easier from the American side.dralla said:

Strike at Karkand would be amazing but would propably bring consoles to their knees with the amount of destructible buildings.

I think he mistyped it or something because if you look all the Rush/Conquest maps they go in even pairs and Alta is the odd one out. Perhaps he meant just Presa.endlessflood said:
Ever since day 1 I could tell White Pass was meant to be a Rush map. It'll be a short one like NB though. Perhaps IO, maybe one Bradley.
Also Karkand would make a bad ass Rush map. They'd definitely have to retool it for consoles. I dunno how though. PC exclusive?
God good... I just sat down and played this for the first time in months thanks to school and other shit

I blame karma for last night's losses. When I entered the first game, we were spawn camping the other team for what seemed like the entire match. :lol
But, yeah we lost too many tanks while they didn't which really hurt us in the end.
It's also worth pointing out that we did not have a single FULL match for the entire night. That sucked.

speaking of kewl shit, I was playing some rush for the first time in a long while this morning
I was on the defenders team and we were playing on the arica harbour map.
I pick the engineer in order to try out my recently aquired carl gustav.
In the horizon I spot the usual, snipers rushing to the cliffs and a tank brigade menacingly shelling us from afar. After a couple of seconds I spot this humvee, driven by some dude and filled with his bros speeding towards me. I'm waiting behind the concrete wall spying on him through a hole shot out by a tank shell. As he is speeding towards the barbed wires and the ramp/elevation on the defenders camps edge, I realize....this dude is going to fly!
I run like a madman and try to position myself in such a way hoping to get lucky and have him soar above me. Just as I reach my mark, he hits the "ramp" and starts flying over my head in slow-motion. By now the tanks have advanced and snipers are trying ruin my day. Shits flying and blowing up EVERYWHERE
And now I have some straight up " Free Willy " shit on my hands, but instead of an orca I have a humvee over me, and instead of a child : I'm a soldier holding a rocket-launcher.I follow his flight-path, never losing my aim and just when he hits the zenith and blocks out the sun I squeeze the trigger and let the rocket fly.
*BIGASSEXPLOSION* bullseye! The humvee ( or whats left of it and its crew ) spins several times in the air subsequently landing on its side and slides before it hits a barack. I stare at the burning wreckage feeling like the baddest mofo on the planet as I'm showered with points
sooo gooood

Same here.
The Vietnam trailer is my most epic moment of the last E3! Believe me.
I'd love to go back to 'Nam with this graphics!
Anyway what will Vietnam Expansion be?
1. An expansion linked to BC2 sold separately like Onslaught
2. A standalone game like 1943
?

in a game i played this morning, we were spawn camping the Russian team on Laguna Alta and they actually managed to work out a plan, pull it together and escape. first, they shatred shootng smoke everywhere, then a guy rode out on a quad and died in our AT Mines, then another rode out and used a jihad quad on our tank, then another jihaded 'their' tank, which we had, and then it was a battle of us throwing everything in there thru the smoke until their vehicles spawned and they rode out in the quads and died, made a mad bumrush at the entrance with whoever was left throwing grenades etc and then their tank emerged and had a clear path to A because they really worked their way out of there.No_Style said:
too bad they only had 50 tickets, and we had triple that, but i was impressed that they pushed us back.

Added you, but a little too late, sorry. Might be playing tonight.
I'm not too worried about the fragmentation. I think enough people will be starving for new maps that the majority of the community will purchase it. The REAL issue will be how DICE/EA handle the map rotations.
Had some good games w/gaffers yesterday, except when we got autobalanced onto separate teams. They were having their way with us while we defended on Valparaiso. It was me and my buddy (plus the rest of the defenders) vs. about 4 gaffers. Luckily, suicide hill bailed us out :lol
Unfortunately, my game crashed right as we won
Enjoying the patch. So happy that I get points after death. XM8C is my new favorite engy gun, and I like the M3, though I didn't have a "this gun is amazing" moment like I did with the T88 last patch.
Just had one game without people being immortal or warping <3 Pretty good, got second place even though it was on Nelson Bay. Killed three guys with a 40 mm shotgun blast, but only two were added up as a double kill? Got within 8k points of lvl 35.
Then my brother takes over, starts Laguna Presa as a MG3 medic and shit hits the fan. Epic, epic game, took 45 minutes and gave him around 6k combat score and 7k award score (okay, gold star included). MvP, too, and normally him being MvP means his teams lost, not this time though. 43/40 kd. He always goes on rampages, then dies countless times without ever killing someone :lol
Overall not bad considering he hasn´t played in over a month and I played ~30 mins in the last month.
Now we´re lvl 35 and it made me happy, but now the lvl bar is almost empty and this makes me sad [/penny-arcade]

Wow, I may just start playing again. I loaded it up last night for the first time in over 3 weeks and got the update, which obliterated all of my previous keybinds...but that was the smoothest, lag free game I've played in ages. It was shocking, actually. PC version btw. I'd forgotten how fun it is to play w/o lag rubberbanding and how much easier it is to shoot moving targets when they're not teleporting away. Thanks DICE.
Finally getting some time to play this recently. Really, really liking it so far. I'm still horrible and don't really know what I'm doing, usually around .6 or .7 K/D but it's a blast. And I still don't know what's going on with stats and unlocks.
Do some servers unlock stuff for everyone? I was able to use defibs, ammo kits, etc. before I even had enough points to unlock them. And I guess the stats weren't syncing right or something - I know I made a rank or two the day before and had more stuff unlocked, but then when I played the next day it said I still needed more points to get them and I was demoted a rank.
I got the M1 Garand from the veteran thingie and it is pretty badass too.

So who from PS3 GAF will be Rockin' this game tonight, it's either this or RDR GAF Posse' LOL.

Yeah, i was thinking that when the other team rolled in on our spawn on Laguna Presa. Still, I've never seen a spawn locked down like we had on Laguna Alta. They were so backed up they couldn't touch their quads or anything. No dice on their smoke attempts eithers.

Honestly the idea of going back in time 40 years seems pretty dumb to me and I'd much rather have the new weaponry found in the original BC2. I might buy it but I don't know if I'll ever quit playin the original.Wthermans said:I really really hate that the Vietnam expansion is going to fragment the community.

I couldn't believe it.
I did that 3 times in a game on Isla Innocentes last week. I was bored and our team was dominating them on defense, so I just went to a little island and kept shooting them down. It's pretty hilarious.

Last night I stayed on a little after the olimpai, jtrizzy and nostyle went offline, just to finish up my 3 marksmen kills on Isla. So I get my 3 marksmen kills and our team is just stinking it up, still stuck on the first two m-com stations. Somehow we get A but no one is making a move on B. Our team is raining mortar strikes on B but both our blackhawks are sitting un-used. I'm in a full squad but they're way off in the bushes.
Nothings working, the team won't move in and we're getting low on tickets now.. less than 20.
The enemy team is camping in a nice semi-circle around B, hiding behind what's left of the cement barriers so the only thing i can think of is to grab a gunboat and grenade B from a distance.
I hop in maneuver to a spot where I'm covered fairly well and start volleying. After about my third group of shots, I see the m-com flashing. +50 damage, +50 damage... and then the gun boat starts moving! My freaking retarded random squad mate spawned on me and starts driving away and takes me out of cover. I started yelling into the mic for him to fucking stop! He doesn't so i start yelling at him about what I was doing. Finally he stops. We're way out in the open now so i tell him to switch spots and cover me while i try to finish off B. We're down to 8 tickets, 7... I start hitting the m-com again *POW* sniper nails me. FFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUU

That is bad. I've had it happen but never quite as bad as that... I've had it happen enough though playing with randoms that every time I use a water craft I leave my squad first. Dipshits.
Btw... sorry to bail on you guys last night but my game froze and I was too tired to jump back into a match. Went to bed.

I managed to do something similar alone once. Sat on an ammo box and kept shooting smoke, got on a quad and drove out and luckily found a path through both tanks and made it to the creek. I felt like a running back busting through the goal line at the 1 for a td, lol. I rode through swerving to avoid fire but I was being hit the whole time and was pretty sure I was going to die. miraculously I survived and hid in some bushes waiting for my squad mates to spawn on me and then head for a flag, felt fucking great!. The idiots kept spawning and dying at the base :/ God, I was so pissed off. Went to try to capture A alone and they found and killed me.The Faceless Master said:
