I am here to say, this is a wonderful little "mod" which would have been fine if I didn't have to pay for it(it's quite little, no other game is so un-friendly to the community/mods either), simply because the game's communication system is busted on PC(and EA/DICE are not showing any signs of planning/wanting to fix this!) So, it looks to me like nearly everyone can't get VOIP to work. As a social gamer, this breaks the game for me. You can't strategically execute an assault while typing, it JUST DOESNT WORK, YOUR TEAM DIES UNLESS ITS USING TS3 OR VENT. You'll notice when playing on PC that once in a while you are up against a team that seems un-stoppable. These people are more than likely using mic through a third party app like ts3. Sure it's only a few bucks, but ladies and gentlemen this is a OFFICIAL PAY 2 PLAY MOD, NOT AN EXPANSION PACK. They don't even bother to expand on the VOIP bug. Mind you, if you like paying for garbage that wont work, this title is for you.

As far as gameplay, balance etc... I have not played long enough to see if there is any value to be had, because VOIP is broken. Watching my console friends talk smack and tactics in the SAME GAME is what made me hate Bad Company 2 PC. I have made countless emails to EA about this and they gave me no new informations except "we could fix it, if it made us more money, but since we got what we wanted out of the player base already, they can go screw themselves"... EA has gotten to be too large and quick profit oriented. THey are not about the game at all any more. Everyone who plays this game is willingly letting their consumers rights be sripped of them!

I have played countless hours of original BC2, the game is great mind you. THis is just one issue that won't get past at least one player... Will you let it get past you too? Or speak out against EA? I have a feeling you'll just buy the game, and play, and complain when you get bored in an month and are tired of being pwned by teamspeak people, just like me. Viet nam was a BAD PURCHASE. DONT BUY IT IF YOU expecting VOICE CHAT. I AM STILL WAITING EA...
