Battlefield Bad Company 2 Vietnam |OT|

I wonder how many games it'll take for DICE to balance air vehicles properly.

I'm annoyed by several of the Rush maps that only have a few stages. And on PC one of the longer maps tends to end in the first stage every time.

They all have the same: 3 which is pretty lame compared to how massive and long maps like Arica Harbor and Oasis are. Hopefully Hastings will be longer, but I'm guessing it will be the same 3 set shit.

EDIT: Well I guess Arica, etc have 4, but the Nam levels seem really short in comparison.

I'm saying I want the fucking 5th map I paid for (they did advertise said map before the game released so it's not some nice bonus, it was a dick move where they said here is content finished we are holding back for no real reason).

They did the same for 1943. I'm indifferent about it cause I know it will unlock soon and forces people to use teamwork instead of being jerk offs.

Honestly, for the past few months they've been touting FOUR maps. A bonus fifth was a pleasant surprise when it was announced. To someone like me who was happy with four, five is a godsend.

Do you honestly think that people are changing the way they play to unlock this map?
 
Is there a database of Gaffers playing on Steam? I'd like to team up with some regular players.

I'm SirButterstick in BC2, if anyone would like to add.

Is there a list of CD-Keys that work on EADM, or is it just all games that are available on EADM?
Click to expand...
Not sure actually, the only game I have added so far is the new Medal of Honor which I bought on D2D. I'm kicking myself because I had MoH Pacific Assault which I never finished back in the day due to having too crappy a computer. I went to play recently and realized I had lost disk 4 so I threw it in the trash, CD key and all.

How many gigs required on the HD for this? Pretty stoked for it but might need a larger HD first.

Vietnam is included with the BC2 install regardless of whether you own it or not

Edit: Oh you're maybe talking about the 360 ver. nevermind.
 
Ugh.. it's up for the 360 but the PSN monkey is still all :

I am going to wait for some impressions before I jump in. Don't want to make the same mistake I did with onslaught mode.

It's bc2 but with new weapons and new maps and some attachments taken out. Also more infantry focused. That's all there is to it. If you want more of bc2, buy it. if not, don't.

When are we going to get a no sniper playlist in games!!!!
 
I bought BF: BC2 for PC yesterday, and pending on how well it runs on my PC, I will buy Vietnam as well. The problem is I'm absolutely terrified about bad performance. I'm installing it as we speak, so I guess I'll know soon enough. I have a dual core 4000+ AMD, a GeForce 7800 GT and 4 gigs of RAM. Definitely not enough, right?

How come it's too late for Amazon? Unless you mean you want it right away. The Ultimate Edition is $30 right now on Amazon which contains all the VIP stuff.

they've been saying four maps all along. they announced the 5th map along with with the promotion to unlock it.
 
So, yeah, I was right. The game crashed as soon as a map finished loading :'( Any recommendations for a budget card/processor to run this baby?

Get a Geforce 260 GTS and overclock it. Should run fine.

Oh wow, that's like a mid range rig from 2006, so yeah .... you'd be lucky to get 20 frames on the lowest settings.

budget? You'll need the party pack. New mobo, cpu, ram, gpu ..

I'm assuming mobo means motherboard? Not sure why i'd need one. It has all the slots I need. Double PCI-E is probably the most important thing, which I have. I have twice as much RAM as BFBC2 shows as recommended, so I should be good, right? Which leaves new CPU and GPU.
 
Does this game have unlockable perks or not?

I keep getting killed with people who have specialties equipped. Is this just their default setup and meaningless or do you actually get to use perks when you level up in Vietnam. I'm level 1, so I wouldn't know.

Well since you're running what is now an ancient dual core, you'll need to upgrade your motherboard if you want to buy any of the "off-the-shelf" cpus. As they won't be compatible with the motherboard you currently have. Also, since the newer motherboards accept only ddr2/3 ram and you probably are still on ddr1, you'll also need new ram.

Yes, there are unlocks which are shared with bc2. So if you already unlocked everything in bc2, you'll have it in vietnam as well.

Gah. Should've done some research before I impulse bought the game. At least it was 6 bucks.

M40 is an absolute beast. Have they fiddled with the bullet damage/player health or something?

All the weapons are a bit more lethal than the guns in BC2, including the M40: http://denkirson.xanga.com/722757523/bad-company-2/

The Recon class seems heavily nerfed now. I understand that there are no motion mines, but you can't spot enemies anymore? Weak.
Click to expand...

What is this crap? Of course you can spot enemies, with any character, any weapon, any vehicle.

Disappointed that there ain't no unlocks.

It's what keeps me coming back for more, now it'll be a "buy it when i'm bored" expansion :(

You can also unlock BC2 unlocks by playing Vietnam. My brother was playing Vietnam and got a "You have unlocked an item in Bad Company 2" prompt.

You should be able to run the game just fine with your computer. Does it crash in single player too? Maybe it's just punkbuster causing the crash when you try to join a MP match, and I'm sure there's a fix for that.

I don't have a gaming PC anymore so I don't know the details here but you should be able to find help and fix your problem.
 
Yeah I don't like the map design. So many arbitrary you can't go there because its black on the mini-map areas. Feels even more so in that area than regular BC2. If you're going to do that you might as well design it with natural looking borders that achieve the same effect.
 
iam220 said:
Seriously, how is withholding content and making you "work" for it a good thing? I ... I ... just don't get it.
Click to expand...

I can understand the developers reason: It's to make players play with the "new guns" they unlock before settling in on the gun their comfortable/broken with. But yeah...

Yup, I got the prompt too.

RE: the sniper class "nerf": they removed the spotting scope, but of course you can still spot by hitting select. Maybe that's what the poster was complaining about? But now you get mortars and tnt at the same time

You so obviously haven't done out-of-bounds antics like Faceless and I have done in numerous games, then.

Yeah ... I doubt that's their reason. More like trying to artificially inflate your enjoyment of the game by giving you that feeling of "accomplishment" when you unlock something. It's obviously working.

Cracked.com actually has a decent article (for once) about this.
