Battlefield Bad Company 2 Vietnam |OT|

What's the map like? I haven't gotten a chance to see it yet.
Well on Rush for the first base you take the Huey over a foot hill and you're already at the enemy's base which is a temple. Same with the tank. Then the next base is over another hill and is really close so it doesn't take long to get there. Then we stormed up this other hill and took the last MCOMs within like 20 seconds so I didn't know wtf was going on. It's kinda crappy and clusterfucked (not in a good way). Maybe it will grow on me. I found a flanking route with the tank if you take it in the water (first base) and hug the shoreline which was kind of fun.

I've been neglecting by bc2/bcv duties. hope to be on tonight.

Yeah, cool... I want to play BC but there's a WWT event going on in Demon's Souls. :lol

Guess I'll just have to stay up late.

It seems like every time I get on BC my damn stats and equipment get reset. Really has a way of killing the motivation...

so i bought this on 360 and the download was 2 mb..............?

It's just an unlock key. You basically downloaded it when you got that last update with the game.

Yeah I've put in the time but I just don't like the Vietnam expansion. I want to like it but I don't. I respect that it plays differently than the default game but it seems to have amplified all the qualities I don't actually like in the vanilla game without the redeeming features that I do like. I'll stick to playing the vanilla version.
 
I reached to the conclussion that Hill 137 is a very shitty conquest map, and it's several times more shitty as more stupid players on your team decides it's a good idea to go into wookie mode in their base instead of getting bases.

I have mixed feelings about Vietnam maps, but I definetly enjoy the gameplay tweaks, getting down a chopper with your trusty rifle assault it's awesome and needs to be added to BC2:Vanilla.

Snipers were a waste in vanilla BC2, they are just more of a waste in Vietnam.

What, no. Spotting snipers in addition to throwing mortars to annoy/harass enemies is important.

The camping douches that don't move when a base is taken, yeah, they're wastes. But I'll move up to the new base and press forward as needed. And I don't even play sniper 24/7. Don't knock.

The Temple isn't bad. Hill 137 and Vantage Point are awful. I'm looking forward to Hastings on the PS3.
Temple is one of the worst, there is zero room to flank and I've never seen a match that didn't result in one side getting spawn camped.

it's ironic because it was like that in BFBC1.

Um, I played BFBC1 but I don't think I realized I could do it, so that makes BC1 even cooler.

Anyway, Cao son temple isn't that bad of a conquest map, unless your team spawns see the patrol boat and think "What the fuck is that?! Ah, don't care I wanna shot things" so the other team goes rapping you with their own boat while your own is on the base.

I prefer the tracer dart mechanic, makes the engineer feel more unique. the classes in nam in general feel more samey.

BFBC1 was a better game. It was more balanced with no perks and weapon upgrades. And maps were better. Also enemies had A LOT of health even though you still could kill 3 of them with one burst of specops guns. That means there were much less campers and bullshit recons.

Didn't like BC 1 that much although I did like a few of the maps. Mainly because of the high player health.

BC 2 is the far more enjoyable to me. I'm just not that much of a fan of Vietnam. That has a shitload of campers simply because there is no motion mine.

I think I like more the less health in BC2 than BC1, maps were better thats for sure

That's also because Vietnam is way more infantry based so engineer role feel kinda dulled and secondary in most maps.

But tracer darts are bullshit on consoles in it's current state, so I'm glad we can take choppers before getting continuously rapped by circle straffers.

These guys are my favorite... when they are on the other team. It's almost an instant victory. Let's face it though, only 1/10 people who play Recon are with worth a damn.

Temple can be quite cool when it comes down to a fierce battle for B, but when one of the teams uses effectively 1 or two boats, it's basically RAPE TIME!!

FUCK YEAH!

"52/50 Huey Kills" Trophy unlocked. Now I only need the stars on the guns in Vietnam and Best Squad when PS3's Hasting's unlocks and I have 100% Vietnam complete. Then it's time to Platinum BC2 unless DICE announces some other Trophy DLC list. :lol
 
Graa, just joined the PS3 posse online and the whole game hardlocks my console...

What is this expansion doing :E

edit: brutal GAF defense :D

Wow. "[ACO]MisterSpeedy" is a glitch using douche. Edit: And probably his whole fucking team, given they suck ass unless abusing the vehicles.

PBR under the map because he and his team can't handle our defense. SMH. And SMH for DICE not fixing this shit within the week. No, I don't give two fucks if it's the holidays, you assholes should be fixing this. :|

Didn't notice any glitching(game or douches) this time, even my stats updated properly.

They were there at the temple.

And apparently the glitch is easy to do with AT mines and the PBR. So much fucking hate DICE. You should be patching this shit. >:|

Taken from a thread over at RFD:

Hey guys I found this over at CAG and was able to get BFBC2 Vietnam for $5, Mirrors Edge, SimCity4 and the SPECACT kit for free.

Follow these instructions:
http://www.cheapassgamer.com/forums/...d.php?t=278843

You'll need to use a US address in order to make an account with RecycleBank but once you do you'll be able to earn the points.

The points take about 5 mins to get as they're just simple quizzes and little boxes in the site.

After you get 175 points, redeem them to get the $10 off code from the EA store.

BFBC2 Vietnam: http://eastore.ea.com/store/ea/en_US...obanner_BuyNow
BFBC2 SPECACT Kit: http://eastore.ea.com/DRHM/store?Act...ctID=192365600
Mirror's Edge: http://eastore.ea.com/DRHM/store?Act...ctID=106999100
SimCity 4 Deluxe Edition: http://eastore.ea.com/DRHM/store?Act...ctID=198095500


Add them to your cart, apply the code, and you'll get all of it for $5.60 USD including the tax that they charge.

Don't forget to make sure that the EA Account is the same one as the one for BFBC2 as the Specact applies to the email on the account and you don't get a code for it.

The Vietnam code IS USEABLE ON STEAM.

Open the game.
Press the Vietnam button on the far left
Enter the code you get from EA
Vietnam is now enabled

Enjoy!

Nice, may need to do that for Mirror's Edge PC and Sim City 4. Don't own the PC version of BC2 so Vietnam and SPECACT are kinda useless for me on that.
 
today i took out a chopper with ... A FLAMETHROWER!!!

guy tried to roadkill me and fell short. i tried to flame him and ended up destroying the chopper and killing him.

Did this earlier. Sweet deal. Got BF:BC2 and Vietnam this week for like $12. Only downside is that you have to launch it through BC2 instead of having a Steam launch page.

could you be so kind as to posting a link to RFD thread. Your links are dead as they are truncated...
 
Vanilla runs like crap on my PC but Vietnam is smooth as butter. Cursed slow CPU.
Good to have my battlefield fix again though. Shooting down choppers with tanks is especially glorious. =)

Thanks Dani, I'm sure you can see why I've been away from Reach this past 2 weeks. :lol

Once my burning for BC2 and Vietnam dies down I'll be back into the breach with HaloGAF, I promise. :D

Sweet, Vietnam, SpecACT, Mirrors Edge, Sim City 4 Deluxe-GET! =D

Oh I can see all right. Got the game + Vietnam the other day (Steam and EA UK sales FTW) and played more of it than Halo since then. So good.

LoL, I must have missed that. We had some epic matches especially that one defending Cao Son Temple, that got down to the wire. We couldn't be stopped, you, Eight Quid and myself were tearing it up. Those Dr. guys on our team were doing pretty good themselves.

Had a few friends over and while we were passing the controller around on my account in BC2 Vietnam, we got killed by someone with a tag of [XBL].... so we press select to see the name and voila... Major Nelson. Managed to get him and his squad a few times personally.

GAME 1

GAME 2

Was a blast playing against such people in the industry. Totally added to the experience of XBL.

Must play more Vietnam....
