i got kurgans thats all that counts

I think most people do here now sadly, there was a while where it was kids and lemode, they always found my soft spot.

@TimSad stats : omfg where do you guys get so much free time.... 25 days played :S

~3,3hour / day

Probably all he plays, granted he should give up the knifing a bit, less deaths = more team tickets. The reason he has 35k dogtags is because it seems his Clan plays knife only matches, he has like 10+ dogtags of all his top 100 or more knifed people, and I checked way down on the list and last server played was SOC, which is where I was when everyone was trying to knife only, I think I might have to go back there for more fun.

i got kurgans as well twice and he dosent have mine any time he kills me its with an M60

You sure about that... check the bottom left here

First video of live BFBC2: Vietnam gameplay (w/developer commentary): http://tgs.gamespot.com/video/6275964/ (7 minutes)

So apparently Gamespots new intro song is a remix of Wild Things... lol, sounded familiar right away, didn't take long to guess it.

Also its really annoying that they are always playing it on the 360, every video I ever seen, when it's known that it sold better on PC that either of the consoles...

TGS: Battlefield: Bad Company 2 Takes You to Vietnam
I get my first taste of the upcoming downloadable expansion.
September 16, 2010
by Erik Brudvig

Battlefield is going back to Vietnam, this time for a downloadable expansion to the well-received first-person shooter Bad Company 2. The add-on, due out this Winter for Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 and PC, delivers four new maps, a rematch of sorts between the North Vietnamese army and the United States, and a change in the weapon and vehicle options to match the setting. I got my first taste of this huge expansion at an EA press event on the eve of the Tokyo Game Show.

If you've played Battlefield: Bad Company 2 before, then you know exactly what to expect out of the Vietnam expansion. The base game remains unchanged. Sure, you get different tools of destruction and new achievements or trophies to unlock, but the modes and basic approach to a shooter follow the guidebook laid out by Bad Company 2's multiplayer. That means a focus on team play, some objective based gaming, and wide open maps filled with destructible buildings and plenty of vehicles. Squint your eyes a bit while playing the Vietnam expansion and you can imagine you're still playing the original base game.

That, however, would be missing the point. Vietnam is the perfect setting to show off the power of DICE's Frostbite engine. Little straw huts crumble under the might of tank shells. The landscape is lush with trees and shrubs, all of which can be mowed down through machine gun fire. When making a game that puts such an emphasis on destruction, Vietnam is the ideal locale.

I got to play a Conquest game on a map called Phu Bai Valley. Here, each side was fighting over three locations of interest while doing their best to take out the opposition. Helicopters and tanks were in heavy rotation, though I also found that snipers have a ton of places to hide amidst the trees and huts. My favorite moment came when I crashed a helicopter into an armored vehicle, hopping out just before impact. That was a pretty great explosion.

I only got to play a couple of rounds, but what I played was fun. Battlefield: Bad Company 2 is still a fantastic looking and handling game and this download is going to do a nice job of reminding everyone of just that. New maps are always a welcome addition to games with such a heavy emphasis on multiplayer modes, but this download is going well beyond simply adding new places to fight. It flips the script and puts a fresh face on a game that millions have already tried.

My quick impressions thus far tell me that fans are going to eat this expansion up. If you've grown tired of the Bad Company 2 gameplay, this won't do a ton to get you excited again as the core isn't changing. That said, this is a great way to reinvigorate the community during the holiday flood of new games.

are we gonna get some DLC soon?

 

[kid41212003]

Vietnam is an expansion not DLC if that was what you meant.

"no matter what theatre of war you participate in, you will continue to level up your soldier as usual"


Uhmm very nice, i was worried that I had to at least reach the maximum level in BD2 before starting this

crap so u did shank me at somepoint FML

 

[1Kurgan1]

At numerous points I honestly don't remember stabbing you, most likely happened on a stabbing streak where I had no time to look at the names as there was more soft targets.

 

[TheLaughingMan]

Holy crap highway... this is such a small world... The guy I was stabbing was Tim.Sad, LOL. -[SOC]-TimSad, or something like that. Ufgy kept sending me messages like "damn that guy can knife". Tim said a few times, "wtf, where was my teamate to watch my back" after I chased him down by myself. He had another SOC guy with him, both medics I stabbed the crap out of that guy too. First time I got Tim he was coming down some stairs, I had knifed his buddy at the bottom, he wanted to rez him, came over the top with paddles out, seen me and jumped over my head and I knifed him in the foot as he went over me.

Wow, small world indeed. It is good to see TimSad is still playing cause EA kinda dicked him over in 2142. What he was doing was classified as stat padding so they would reset his stats once a week....which eventually stopped him from playing. And I see he has over 35,000 tags already, which is stupid.

are we gonna get some DLC soon?

I hope so cause this Expansion will be just like Special Forces. It will have its own icon, its own weapon list and the maps, while they will be able to switch in-game from one to the other, but you will not be able to fight with the current equipment on these maps. I want a legitimate expansion of the current game as I hope to have either this or BF3 to reach the level of content P.O.E 2 had. At the end it was something like 20+ different maps (ranging from infantry only, to no aircraft, to full on vehicle war), 50+ weapons when you include pickup kits, 3 game modes (including one that was a lot like rush now that I think about it), 30+ vehicles, etc.

Kurgan, aka "Stabby McStaberson"

I will never forget the time you got me right in the face in a full-on run. Grrr.

Though you were my, albeit beginner's luck, my very first kill! At least i think. Jumped on a TPU server and found you and another dude standing together and got lucky.

 

[1Kurgan1]

You want a stabbing secret, if someones coming at you with a 4 wheeler and they are just a few feet in front of you, line up the crosshairs on their skull and let it rip, you will lock right on and drop them, then get pushed a bit backwards by the wheeler, but you wont get hurt at all Found that out as a last ditch effort before I got ran over.

 

[Black Haru]

new challenge! repair tool kills! (as in 4 in one life or better)

I was playing with TC2r ended up with it as my best weapon (only like 7 kills though)

 

[lemode]

lol i think my best was 7 too repair tool kills = win

 

[crazyeyesreaper]

yea if u get knifed it sucks but if u get killed by the defib or the repair tool well the whole server sees it and you feel like a noob when it happens lol i feel bad for whomever haru killed

 

[burtram]

I have a harder time killing with the defib in this game, compared to BF2142. It was like my alternate knife when i was medic in BF2142.

ts3 isnt the problem. the server i run ts3 on is used for other projects. the other projects break and then i have to format/install the OS.
