@phillipsteak Who knows... I was hoping sometime soon as there is a lull in new games. COD:BO isn't really doing it for me like BF:BC2 does.

I've heard rumors that Vietnam will be coming out on the 14th of December and others saying it'll come out on the 21st (for PC anyway).
Also, the update for Map Pack 7 is supposedly coming out tomorrow with the maps being unlocked on December 7th.

Okay, I got a laugh out of the Recon's C4 in this add-on being dynamite with a full plunger and everything.

Vietnam is the new WWII

@Aerospeed Because there's been a stream of Vietnam games coming out. This is only the second game in the last 10 years that I can think of that's used "Vietnam" in the title.

Never mind Tunnel Rats, Viet Cong, Battle Field Vietnam (not this one), Conflict Vietnam, Line of Sight: Vietnam, Shell Shock, Shell Shock 2, Men of Valor, Vietcong 2, Elite Warriros: Vietnam, and the Rambo game. All that I could think of off the top of my head.

agreed, we are running out of time periods to base our shooters on.
Soon people are going to have to REALLY use their imagination to develop a believable modern shooter.

No call of duty, or medal of honor used WWII in the title either.
I agree that Vietnam is the new WWII, I think we will see a lot more games coming out based in that era.

man the gun list kinda of sucks. There are already variations of almost all of these guns in the game.

@Pete207

What about less used guns like the AK-74? For some reason the 5.45mm assault rifle variant of the AK-74 is almost never in games, despite the AK-74U being in like all of them. Considering that the AK-74 has been the standard issue rifle of the Soviet/Russian army for the last 40 years or so, you'd think it would be in at least ONE game.

According to Wikipedia, the AK-74 was first used in their Afghanistan War. So that would be the reason why it's not used in BC2: Vietnam.

I have never played games in languages other than English, so seeing it was new to me: I thought it was interesting that all the menu/game text was in Russian, but it still says Battlefield BC2 Vietnam in English on the upper left of the background.

@FlashJS It's a name. All names/brands are in english, for english speaking companies at least. (yes i know dice is in sweden? but EA is american)

Haha I'm Tom. You forgot to mention the most important part!
There are 5 maps listed in the menu, not 4 as DICE previously stated.

@Nirvash Planeteer Power of Capt

That surprised me too.

I probably should have guessed it from the small amount of new weapons to be released, but the lack of variety may get to me or others. But $15-$20 for an actual expansion to a game instead of just maps? Don't even have to think about that

I have 1200 points ready to use on this expansion, but it better come out soon because I have a tendency to spend my points. Of-course that wouldn't be a problem if I received my 800 points from October's Gamesfest promotion. I should have listened to that guy that said on these Joystiq comments that he never received his points from the promotion before the one I went in.

Gah, I have to choose between the flaws of COD, like shitty spawns, stupidly small maps, and teleport knifes, or the flaws of Bad Company, like low framerate, clunky controls and sub-par hit detection.

...or I could wait for Battlefield 3 and hope that it has none of those flaws. As long as its not Frostbite engine, it has a chance!

I take It you are talking about the console version. bc2 on my pc is one of the most graphically impressive games there is. runs at a solid 75fps. oh yeah, hit detection has gotten much better since the patch
