Battlefield- Bad Company 2 Vietnam - E3 2010 Announcement Trailer [HD]

Erotic Sheep5095d ago

Wasn't there already a Battlefield: Vietnam?

STONEY45095d ago

That was a long time ago on PC, and it was multiplayer focused (no campaign) like all the other old Battlefield games. This is an expansion pack to Bad Company 2.

BYE5095d ago

There have been tons of WWII and Modern Warfare games too, Vietnam is a fresh scenario in comparison to the other two.

Nodoze5095d ago

Instead of more maps for the existing BFBC 2 they are throwing us this? No thanks. Does anyone else feel that DICE abandoned this title after release? Everything they have given thus far are disc unlockables. No thanks DICE, keep your uniforms, and keep this. This is one area where you can learn from Activision. They actually provide and produce NEW maps.

KiRBY30005095d ago

according to the press release, the vietnam pack has 4 new maps for multiplayer modes.

i agree tho, we should be getting this pack asap and not in 6 month when nobody is playing anymore. DICE working on MOH multiplayer is probably the reason why we are not getting this any sooner. damn.

BattleAxe5095d ago

This is the reason why I traded in BC2 last week.I had been playing BC2 since day one, but its boring already. Not enough features and maps out of the box.

sak5005095d ago (Edited 5095d ago )

@nodoze Mabye you're a kid and dont know the franchise. Us BF fans have been crying for BF:Vietnam version for ages. I still have the PC Box in my shelf, loved the game and the music of 60s and 70s and now with this it will bring back good memories. I used to play for 4~5 hours a day 5 - 6 years back.

DAY 1 for me can't wait.. "when the truth is found to be lies"

@battleaxe
So u got bored and what has caught your eye? BC2 has the best MP action for any fps game on any platform. There are no cheats like Perks or kill streaks to boost n00bs.

BattleAxe5095d ago

BC2 has some cool gameplay features, but the game, as with BF 1943 and BC1 are poorly supported. The lag was quite bad at times to the point I would be shooting at someone and no hash marks would show up to show the I was hitting my opponent. The knifing sucks real bad, I can't tell you how many times it appeard that I had the knife firmly implanted in an enemy's skull, only for them to turn around at the last second and kill me.

Weapon balancing was pretty bad in BC1, and its not the greatest in BC2, for example people can snipe with a shotgun. With only 4 game modes and co-op which you can purchase for $10(rip off) and a lack of variety in the maps department its gotten stale fast. Not to mention that all game modes are still not playable on all maps. In BC2 you have Sniping Noobs. They sit back in the bushes and in the farthest corner of the maps and use artilery strikes all game long.

Personally I'm having alot more fun playing hardcore on MW2. The game came with 16 maps and 12 game modes + 23 co-op missions. I also like being able to talk to the whole team which you can't do in Battlefield and I can have up to 9 friends in my party and make private rooms. I bought the map pack so now I've got 5 more maps, plus I will be getting the next map pack for an additional 5 maps. People who pay $10 for a new game mode like on BC2 need to give their heads a shake. Medal of Honor is going to be set up the exact same way as BC2, only this time I'm not going to waste my money.

psycho3605095d ago (Edited 5095d ago )

@Battleaxe

LAG i've been playing it since the day it was released and in so many months i've had maybe handful of times felt lag and dont even mention about getting thrown to menu in middle of the game as it only happened once or twice. Unlike the POS games MW2 where 5 out of 10games i felt lag and every 2/10 games i used to get bumped out of them match only to re-enter it again automatically with all my score reset. SO as much as i tried to be patient with MW2 and continued to play it for long time tll BC2 came and i never went back to mw2. I'm now thinking of selling it off as well.

BTW i'm talking about playing on XBLIVE.

Serjikal_Strike5095d ago

now this is worth paying 15 bucks for...cant wait

sak5005095d ago

WORD

Can't wait, i feel like reinstalling BF:V on my pc. The propganda radio, 70s inspired music etc. The jungle trails etc.

BYE5095d ago

Out of all video game war scenarios Vietnam is easily my favorite.

FalconR2895095d ago

The song "Fortunate Son" is such a cleche for any form of media during the Vietnam. I'm not hating on the song just saying its over used I thing even though its a good song. Hope to see more from EA soon.

I just started playing Spec op. I've had it for years on steam and forgot about it. Such a good game.

EvertonFC96d ago (Edited 96d ago )

Fantastic game,.so underated

Cacabunga96d ago

Yes great game spec ops! Since the time we’ve been asking sony to make one:/

Auto Modelista.. a PS2 capcom racer!! A blast to play and great graphics!
Maximo!
Rival Schools!

LordoftheCritics95d ago

Spec Ops: The Line was super dark.

Incredible story.

SheenuTheLegend95d ago

all the games in the above list are bang on. this is the only reason we need backwards compatibility and physical presense of games for the upcoming future, no matter what.

Yi-Long96d ago

Honorable mention to the excellent Driveclub, one of the best racing games of all-time and one of my favourite games ever.

melons96d ago

yes! incredible rain effects; so good to drive along in rain with your Spotify playlist blaring

Skuletor95d ago

I really wanted a MotorStorm using the same engine, Driveclub is easily one of the best looking games on PS4 and I'm surprised they didn't even give it a PS4 Pro patch.

ravens5295d ago

Yes indeed. May just install it on my PS5. You know, physical copy and all.

monkey60295d ago

I adored Driveclub and the Bike expansion. I also loved Motorstorm. Evolution shutting down was a crime

darthv7295d ago

Outrun Online Arcade, Sega Rally Online Arcade, After Burner Climax... all good stuff. I keep my 360 hooked up to play these as well as the TMNT games that were also delisted.

Skuletor95d ago

I have quite a few of these. Timed licenses suck.

Terry_B95d ago (Edited 95d ago )

wow...I have all of them except the Nintendo ones either in physical or digital version.

Also..Deadpool the Game is missing on that list.

OtterX170d ago

I had no idea that Bad Company 2 was still running, and only now that I know, I want to jump on! 😥

SonyStyled169d ago

I was able to find games in the Vietnam dlc on ps3 the last week. There were articles on here about the server closure when it was announced in April

DaReapa169d ago

BF1943 is the only online MP game that I was genuinely interested in. Been playing since launch 14 years ago. Hate that I couldn't put in as much time to play as I'd hoped for during the final week.

Inverno169d ago

I got really into 43 when I bought Bf3, and preferred it. Everything that I disliked or found annoying about Bf3, wasn't an issue in 43. Too bad they never bothered releasing it on PS4 or PC.

1nsomniac169d ago (Edited 169d ago )

Dead Space 2...... I wasn't even aware that had multiplayer. Nevermind that it was apparently one of their best multiplayers!

anast169d ago

Once people stop buying micros, these companies close the doors.

Xenial169d ago

Dead Space 2 multiplayer had been hanging on for years - I'd boot my PS3 up to see some familiar names in lobbies. This will definitely be missed!

Battlefield Legacy - Sunsetting Announcement

EA: "As we close in on 15 years since the release of Battlefield 1943, and Bad Company™ 1 & 2, we are announcing that their journey is coming to an end."

darthv72434d ago

This reminds me... I have ME on my PS3 hdd. Never really played it, but it was free.

XiNatsuDragnel434d ago

Digital future ppl is good they say nope imo

Eidolon433d ago

And it still says nothing about being able to downloaded even when it's off the storefront, that's a huge ouchie for some who somehow still have it in their backlog...

Shane Kim433d ago

Dont make it an issue when it's not. If you haven't played it in 15 years, chances are you'll never play it.

isarai434d ago

That all digital future sure looks great!

/s

zidane1341433d ago (Edited 433d ago )

Online game servers shut off eventually all the time. Doesn’t matter if you have the disc or not. Even if you have the disc, it’ll be just paperweight unless the game lets you connect directly to a friend or LAN play.

isarai433d ago (Edited 433d ago )

Read the article bro. They are delisting the games, including mirrors edge which is an offline game. Online servers i can understand, not being able to buy/download the games anymore? Completely separate issue, especially seeing as how some these games had lengthy sp campaigns and not just mp.

zidane1341433d ago

@israrai, you can still buy the disc for less then 10$. Hardly a loss.

TheEnigma313433d ago

You shouldn't have to buy the disc, that's the issue.

OhReginald433d ago (Edited 433d ago )

Some brilliant minds created servers to keep these old online games alive. A lot of ps2 and ps3 games that had there servers shut down a long time ago have been restored by fans to keep it going. Warhawk, killzone 2, socom 2/ confrontation, resident evil outbreak series, etc.

DankSinatra433d ago

The disc still exist. I don’t understand the issue. You guys are upset about that “all digital future” yet these games are not “digital only”. Hell digital only is a minority in the gaming world and so far we haven’t moved into it, the only digital only games are games as a service or online only games, which end up failing in the end.

This is no different than a store that stops selling old games, just go and buy a copy somewhere else. So which is it, you hate all digital or you like it? Make up your mind.

isarai433d ago

Talk about missing the point entirely. I'm not going to sit here and explain it to you, figure it out.

DankSinatra433d ago

Talk about whining about something and not wanting to explain from an off handed sarcastic original comment.

I got the point just fine. You’re literally complaining about something that has an easy alternative to it.

ManMarmalade432d ago

I don't think you got the point

DankSinatra432d ago (Edited 432d ago )

@ManMarmalade

No I got it, it has to do with the push towards a future of all digital and reprocussions of losing games. Something I already stayed that hasn’t happened nor is it large enough right now to cause any issues as the games that are all digital are online only to begin with or make up the minority of games

So I’ll say it again, the disc still exists for these games that are over a decade old and can still be played easily. You guys are contradicting the whole “we don’t want a digital only future” crying when the dude I originally responded to stated:

“Read the article bro. They are delisting the games, including mirrors edge which is an offline game. Online servers i can understand, not being able to buy/download the games anymore? Completely separate issue, especially seeing as how some these games had lengthy sp campaigns and not just mp.“

So again, which is it? Do you hate all digital or do you want it?

Inverno433d ago

On PC I don't think it's much of a problem but I'm sad to see BF43 being shut down. I haven't played it in a while since it's stuck on PS3, but i preferred it way more over BF3. It was the lack of invisible barriers which made it better for me.

badz149433d ago

BFBC2 was still the best overall package offered by the franchise so far IMO

porkChop433d ago

Absolutely. BC2 was such a great game. It's a shame we never got BC3.

P_Bomb432d ago

I had a great run on Bad Company 2. Pound for pound, as solid a BF package as there’s been.

InUrFoxHole433d ago

Does anyone play the last BF anymore? I searched crossplay servers and it was 20 people the most on all the servers? Can never find a game

SonyStyled433d ago

The last BC you mean? I was still able to find 10v10 on ps3 2 years ago on NA servers during the evenings. I have all the free and paid dlc installed, but there want any matches in the Vietnam dlc.
