Not me, I'm not getting the expansion just yet (I've been playing codbo so my bc2 skills are a little rusty).

Yup. They are pretty chaotic, and vietnam is more close quarters.

I mean sure its chaotic BUT the one thing I love about BFBC2 is that battle lines form and you know where the front is. You dont have to worry about someone spawning behind you and cheap kills like in MW2 or BOps. Its like a...lol...battlefield. S*** is blowing up everywhere and you have to take cover sometimes. Its awesome!

You should look into upgrading that poor thing. Your GTX 460 is bottlenecked.

Yeah so true, also 2gb of ram is going to bottleneck you as well no doubt.

I'm feeling that the new guns really pack some serious power and drop targets faster.

Maybe becuase these guys aren't wearing any body armor?

I actually feel that in the PC version of BC2 it takes more shots to kill somebody than the console version. I played the console version to death, then bought it on the PC when it got cheap and I realized that the PC version seems to take a few more shots to bring somebody down.

I ended up picking the pack up. So far I am impressed although a couple of matches have been a bit iffy with teams just rolling us over by camping outside our spawn point on the point capture game type.

Some of the maps have some really bad bottlenecks, but the worst problem is the damn helos. They are stupidly overpowered...

Picture for evidence.

That guy maned a helo the entire game. 63/2 is not balanced.

The maps are pretty piss poor. Really unbalanced. It seems Dice is having issues making maps these days.

I really like some of the maps, only one of them I hated out of the bunch, it was far to small and easyier on one side. Other hten that I love how beautiful some of these maps are, just gorgeous. Some balancing will be done im sure in the future for some of the things that are a bit overpowered. Thats really my only gripe so far, pretty fun.. even when I am getting my butt handed to me :P

For 14$ cant really go wrong, plus Vietnam setting is always nice :D

Not perfect, but other then one of the maps being poor and a few balancing issues, its great.

Is it me or does the hit detection seem better. If the maps were better balanced (conquest) it would be perfect, but they have some HUGE bottlenecks. Vantage point is pretty bad, but I guess the name fits it :P. The Hill137 map has some iffy design choices as well. The other two are pretty good. I can't wait for Operation Hastings though.

It can't be too good :P. It seems that they need to fix the penetration though. I am getting shot through **** I should not be getting shot though. I would much rather have this hit detection than seeing my bullet hit an enemy with blood splashing out and nothing registers aka BC2, then again, I am playing on hardcore, I haven't tried regular yet.

I've noticed that Helo's are really overpowered right now in the vanilla game. When the pilot pops flares any tracer darts on the helo disappear.

I'll work my butt off and finally get a tracer dart on a heli and then they simply pop flares and continue to destroy everyone. I was playing Valspiasaro (bad spelling I know, the original Jungle rush map) as defense, the attacking team got into their heli, went behind the first two Mcoms and just hovered about 30 meters over ocean blasting everyone. I couldn't hit it with an RPG so i tried using the tracer dart, but every time I got it attached the pilot would pop flares and continue to destroy our team. We didn't manage to bring it down until the third set of Mcoms.

Good to hear the Vietnam is a good add on, i'll check it out when I get a chance.

To much of a cluster for me. Game is good if thats your type of thing. I just like the Reg bc maps since they were urban, but not entirely. However the helicopters are damn awesome and music in every vehicle as well.

Would you guys say it's worth it for $15? And what would you give it out of 10? (assuming they fix the problems soon)

BLUBBBER
If you like playing BFBC2, chances are pretty good you're going to like the Vietnam expansion. It's a bit more close-quarters, but still feels likes BC2 rather than CoD. I would probably give it an 8, and whether or not it's worth $15 is probably more dependent on how much you like BC2 to begin with.

Englebert3rd, add me. As for the maps, they are really bottlenecked. Far too narrow, and pretty unbalanced. It's shocking. I usually end up with quite poor K/D and just a few points. I always attack, but somehow someone manages to kill me when I shot first and hit the guy a buncha times. So annoying.
Apart from all these issues, I do play it. I prefer the Conquest rather than Rush, you get much more freedom.

The thing about the maps is that this is Vietnam... alot of the battles were in close quarters,etc....

Sure most the time i like big maps, but for this it fits the time period perfectly imo.

Only one map I dont like so far. At first I thought these maps are way to small and to many choke points but the more I played the more I enjoyed em

You know a game is good when you go 2-20 and still have fun.. not to mention getting 2nd out of 32 people and only having two kills :P

Someone even commented "Kozzy you have 2 kills.. yet you are in 2nd place... your a dang good medic bud" ;)

This is one of my favorite things about BFBC2. Being good at killing is not the only way to do well in the game. There's a ton of avenues to success. Unlike CoD, where if you don't have the crazy headshot reflexes, you won't have any fun.

There's so many glaring flaws with these maps. It's almost as if they BS'd some of the game modes for each map.

this. omg it's so awful...

the only two effective ways of taking down helos are now gone in Vietnam (Tracer+launcher or AT4).

Rush maps are ok, but way too bottlenecked in some places. Still worth the price tag imo.
