Yeah. The single player was actually pretty terrible (the second half of it was anyway). The multiplayer, on the other hand, is some of the best this generation has to offer.

I know, I was giving BF some time. I can't decide if I should go trade it in now, or wait till the 1st map pack comes out. If you have to buy it, then I'm definetely selling BF

Why do they call these map packs? They're not map packs in even the most liberal definition of the term.

@Vcize To the jerk who thought they could fool people into thinking these are real map packs:
Can you please let us know what you tell your dates? I am genuinely interested in knowing what you think you can get away with. I imagine I would be highly entertained with your responses.

Maybe one of these days when I finish the MGS games I'll download BC2 to my only computer capable of running it.

Played these maps like an hour ago.
Panama SQ DM is pretty hectic, but kind of unfair as enemies tend to spawn right next to you and often surround you.
Laguna Presa SR is just an uninspired mess. The map is so large and they could have easily had 5 or so crates, but instead they use a small portion of the map with only 2 crates. The match is over so quick it's barely worth playing.
Overall it's a bad "map pack". Honestly I dont know what DICE is thinking. These maps should have been in the game on day 1.
Instead of actually releasing NEW maps that are worthy of being called a Map Pack, they spoon feed us this garbage. And please, dont say, "It's free what are you complaining about?"
I'm complaining because this game's been out for 6 months and there are no new maps yet, and Vietnam is a completely different time period with different classes, weapons, vehicles and leaderboards. May as well be a different game.
This entire VIP scam ruined what is otherwise a fantastic game.

You know they change the maps around for the modes and do need to patch them in. Atleast forPC they do.

yay.... deathmatch. The only time I tried a deathmatch, I spawn into a game and I'm immediately shot by two guys camping at the spawn point. And we are the only 3 people playing.

I remember when everyone praised this game and it's Map Packs because it wasn't like MW2. Now, everyone seems to detest it. Ah well, you can only hold on to your fans for a while...it was fun while it lasted...

@The Harbinger of Pie
we praised it, because at the time we assumed new maps meant... well.. new maps...
the first two that were released.. i was like.. ok, not bad, hopefully there's something new in the works, and after the 2nd pack came out I realized with all been had by savvy marketing speak....
don't get me wrong, BC2 is still one of my favorite games, but I can't help but feel a little chaffed at the VIP fiasco...
if i had known this was the case, i'd rather they release all maps with all modes on day 1.. and charge for additional maps...

Hi there DICE (I know someone over there is reading this)
Think maybe you could some legitimate new maps our way? They don't even need to be finished. Just playable. C'mon, you've gotta have at least some maps that didn't make it into the game. Even the leftovers of a map would be nice.
Thanks alot,
johngie

@King Johngie the Fourth I think EA has dice by the balls and thats why DICE hasn't been able to create anything truly BATTLEFIELD that and Frostbite is too ambitious for this console generation.

I actually would pay $7 for all the BC1 maps with almost zero updates. I needs me more Rush maps.

I'd really like some new maps or some from the first game, but at least these are free and not $15.00.

I just can't get into the MP. There are too many darn snipers and I always end up respawning far away from the objective. Just not a fun MP. Love the single player campaign though.

@malexandria1 You really do need to play with friends when you play Bad Company 2. Most CODMW2 people get confused. Not that I'm calling you a CODMW2 person.

Oh look, EA's rehashed more maps for more gametypes, something they could have done when they were making the game.

not that it hasnt been said before...
but stop calling this garbage map packs...
like il really be buying BF:Vietnam when it releases over 6month after the game... and along all these other shooters.
Ffffuu, i mean i know that those are free, but guess what, if youd (EA) released 2 completely new Rush maps for a fair price, i wouldve gladly paid for it a month or 2 postlaunch.
but this... is ridiculous.

If it wasn't for the fact that I got VIP for free because I bought it on its release date, I'd throw this scam- I mean game, out the window. 15 dollars (or however much VIP is) is ridiculous just to get the same exact maps for different game modes. And that would go especially for me since all I play is hardcore rush & HC conquest. No squad junk for me.

So for those keeping track, none of these map packs have actually ADDED NEW MAPS. have they?

Great game, but DICE/EA are kidding themselves if they think we believe these are "map packs." I want to know know who actually plays BF:BC2 and says, "I sure wish I could play map X in mode X." Not me.

bought this used just the other day because i didn't want to support EA's scheme for holding their content hostage.. received the game in full mint condition, tried the VIP code just for kicks... and it worked.
take THAT EA
i'll buy your game used and still rock your "map packs"
oh..
oooohhhhh.
THAT's what they mean by map packs.
...!!!
SO GLAD I BOUGHT IT USED.

I can't believe DICE calls this a new "MAP" pack.
Its just new modes added to already existing maps...
It might be a good MODE pack, but its a very lame MAP pack, IMHO.
