Interview with DICE: New Content for BC2 Unlikely.

Before BC2: Vietnam hit virtual store shelves, we flicked DICE a short interview about the then upcoming expansion. Unfortunately, due to the meddling fatso who goes by the name of Sandy C. Laws, DICE's response was delayed until today, with many of the questions answered by the release of BC2: Vietnam. However, there are still a couple of nuggets worth reading courtesy of Björn Johnsson, one of the Producers at DICE. Most interesting is Björn's statement that BC2 probably won't be getting any new content, claiming that "VIP Map Pack 7 is probably the last one."

...

games.on.net: Bad Company 2 is one of our favourite FPS of all time... but it needed more maps! Is BC2:Vietnam the last content expansion? Did Dice see the number of maps as an issue?

Björn Johnsson: You should never say never, but we have nothing planned right now when it comes to even more maps for Battlefield: Bad Company 2 or Battlefield: Bad Company 2 Vietnam. VIP Map Pack 7 is probably the last one.

BC2 was never $60. this isn't COD (PC anyway)

I do think they should release tools, but there reason not too may have to do with that updater you hate so much.

I think it's fine for them to work exclusively on BF3. so long as we still get the occasional patch.

MT Alex · Jan 7, 2011

I agree. I'm damn excited for BF3. In fact, I would like BF3 to come out no later than tomorrow at midnight, because I want to play it all weekend long.

meh. I think we have enough potential titles for 2011. I think BF3 should come out September-ish. I really want them to do it right.

MT Alex · Jan 7, 2011

Me too. A let down in quality would be such a, ah...well, let down. That said, maybe they could sell it to me tomorrow night, and you could wait until September?

you;re right, it was never $60. it was more like $90-$120

australia.

(btw, we prefer to call it a 'continent' and not a universe. confuses people)

Volkszorn88 · Jan 7, 2011

Oh yes, Australia, explains a lot.

n-ster · Jan 7, 2011

not our fault the AUD shot up and the USD fell down... I prefer to call Australia a country but wtv

btw, white wine tastes pretty bad

crazyeyesreaper · Jan 7, 2011

i was using $60 as an example lol $50 + specact at $5 + vietnam at $15 = $70 still not really the point the major point is ive seen BadCompany and frostbite 2 toolset it looks almost exactly like BF2's tool set and its easier to use. The fact its not released is just piss poor decision on DICE / EA's part. BF3 will be the same way after all if modders can do better jobs faster why would we pay for there extra content lol. Thats my point.

LifeOnMars · Jan 7, 2011

Punkbuster seems to be starting up on it's own when I boot my PC. Can it be set to manual in services? Meaning it would only appear when gaming online with BFBC2?

Marineborn · Jan 7, 2011

Hey guise, I wonder if anyone can help me - Im Rank 31 (almost 32) and for some reason when i load into a specific server - I lose all my earned weapons and upgrades - and my rank on this server is shown as 30 - despite even being rank 30 I have all the basic starter gear - I dont even have shock paddles. and it only happends with this one server. BUT previously - I was able to play with all my kits unlocked - then my game crashed - and even though it says i have all kits unlocked and ranked 31 in the main login screen - I still enter the server with nothing but noob gear.

I asked some of the guys there and they said it was a bug. does anyone know anyway to fix this??

TheMailMan78 · Jan 7, 2011

Does anyone know how to get the background blurry like the promo screen shots show?

crazyeyesreaper · Jan 7, 2011

I thought it was a dept of feild setting. I mean not the nose. Im talking about the blur in the background. ANYWAY......I just got a fucking triple kill with a sniper rifle!

kid41212003 · Jan 7, 2011

Bloom? I think there's addon filter that does it.

Depth of field can be done manually i think.
