Battlefield Bad Company 2- no more maps according to DICE. This is a big deal.

I love Bad Company 2, but this really saddens me as there are like 7 maps total to play in. Sure there have been 5 VIP map packs released since the game came out but all of those map packs consist of maps and modes that were already on the disk! They just kept unlocking them throughout the time period so it will seem like were getting maps. DICE havent made a single new map since they released the game! I mean cmon what the hell were stuck with only 7 maps total, i thought this game was trying to rival COD games, by the way i hate MW2 because of all the campers and hackers but the game has like 25 or more maps already and a ton of different modes. And EA is trying to pull a stunt saying the maps are free hello they were already on the disk they would be pretty stupid for charging for them. If we got like 5 new maps i would be extremely happy and pay for them, or release some old maps from BC1 that would be great too. What do you guys think ?

That's business for ya.

I guess they want people to buy the BC2 expansionYuriSH

I will get the Vietnam expansion, but i want more maps for the current setting were in.

doesnt bother me as vietnam will be badass as long as theres some maps from vietnam itself.

Then I am probably just going to trade it in. It hardly had any maps to begin with and most of the "new" maps were already on the disk. Also the squad system sucks compared to the PC.

So there were never any maps released after the game came out then? I mean, the VIP nonsense wasn't maps, it was modes on existing maps. Modes that the maps weren't designed for and, as a result, makes them less fun.

So, yeah, EA is on my **** list as well.

I have no problem with this, i love the game and love all the maps. So ill still keep playing

tbh arica harbour conquest is the only one worth ranting bout and manages to crap over the other maps, but all maps are actually designed with all game modes in mind its pretty obvious they just used the EA code to try cut used sales once people get it then meh.

This was a link in the link. Another article written by that guy. Perfectly describes my frustration with the game, even though I've only played 1943 before.

Oh, I'm aware. I don't see how that being obvious could, in any way, make the move more acceptable.

When I bought this game I thought by "free maps" they meant new maps, not the same maps that were already on the disk but with different modes

I buy almost all my games new unless I can wait a long time.

But I will purposely get the next DICE game (that I intend to buy) used.

Meh, I like the maps so it doesn't really bother me. If they don't release new maps, then they don't release new maps. As long as they release good games, then I'm not going to complain. I only paid 50 bucks for it.

EA and DICE were massively douche with the way they handled BC2 and the VIP nonsense. They can seriously go **** themselves. jg4xchamp

EA and DICE killed Bad Company 2...

The game is probably the best thing I have ever played, but the way these guys are supporting the game... Its a joke.
The lag is freaking catastrophic on consoles, they think people on consoles are idiots (no server lists, no ability to select you own squad (Seriusly?!), inviting people to your match is a pain etc.), no new maps etc.

I hope EA and DICE get their act back together in time for Battlefield 3.

Is the vietnam expansion a stand alone game or DLC?

Port Valdez is like the best map for Rush, White Pass on Rush is so bad that I don't know what DICE was thinking when they made it, it's so unbalanced for both teams.

Sadly dice foccused too much on the campaign in this game and imo Battlefield is only about multiplayer. Please Dice for your future games, forget crappy campaigns and make huge multiplayer games with lots of maps and modes.

Sick bastards!

Well, if they did, it didn't show. The campaign is terrible :(. Edit: I see you're saying that they shouldn't have bothered with the campaign (which turned out to be crappy anyways) at all.

This is disappointing news for active players, and I agree with the assessments of the poorly executed "VIP" deal. I'd like to add that it's dumb to only allow one, single user / profile on a system have access to the VIP content (on 360 & PS3). Why?

they have to work on MOH nowcampzor

Bad Company 2 is the best FPS at the moment IMO. I play it on PC and it's fantastic. I'm pretty pissed off though that the game is not getting new maps. EA are just being douchebags and they want us to buy Vietnam and Battlefield 3...

Pretty lame considering Bad Company 2 just works... I like playing with modern weapons... I don't really feel like going back in time to vietnam. Maybe they should allow people who buy Vietnam to play the vietnam maps on Bad Company 2.

You could figure it out for yourself when only five out of eight maps were available at launch and EA was slowly trickling the rest out.

I used to have faith in DICE and what they said, so the day the second map pack was unlocked felt like a betrayal. Their words were just PR fluff and bull***. Sad and disappointing.

What's worse is that not only did they deceive us with comments about support leading up to its release. They failed to mention that they'd be ****ing us over with this VIP membership. Again, five Rush and Conquest maps at launch. They purposely made maps inaccessible for several months, bragging about free updates and whatnot. Insulting, deceitful and disrespectful. That's my perception of DICE after BC2.

uh...and the Vietnam Pack doesn't come with maps? Anyway it's not THAT big of a deal.

I haven'tplayed Bad Company 2 in a while, I gave up playing the game after suffering from too much lag, glitches, and bugs. I will defend DICE to an extent but the condition the game was in when I stopped playing it was inexcusable; come on DICE you are better than this! I also feel a bit cheated as DICE promised new maps and support after the game launched but instead we got the same recycled maps for different game-modes; I do not consider those new maps.

It especially sucks since the only "new" maps we received for BC2 were simply unlocks for different modes that were already on the disc.

Instead of wasting time on a mediocre singleplayer campaign they should have made more maps for online . I stopped playing because there simply wasn't enough map variety to keep me interested in the game.

No, the console version costs money, even more than the PC version. It's not fine if it's ****, which it is. Lag, no server lists. EA uses dedicated servers, yet it lags as much as MW2? Cheap support for the game from all angles.

That's all EA though, as far as support goes, they pull the purse strings. DICEs failure begins and ends with the weapons, which they went and made all these adjustments to based off feedback from people playing a laggy game. Not smart, DICE, not smart.

Now, you can snipe better with shotguns than you can with a sniper rifle and assault rifles are the weakest weapons in the game.

Not a big deal imo. And plus, I'm a proud tool [or dollar bill for that matter] for DICE, if not EA's products. Their product is great, and the quantity is there, so I'm fine. And yes, I'm waiting to be quoted and flamed.
