Excellent. Cannot wait to pick this up for my PS3.

Would buy it for PC, but I don't like to play slideshows. (Time to upgrade)

This DLC is coming to consoles as well isn't it? Because if it is I might just pick up BF:BC2 for cheap and this DLC instead of Killzone 3.

Well it's an IGN review, so it has to be taken with a grain of salt. As if high scoring IGN reviews really matter nowadays. However BC2:V is looking pretty sweet actually, especially for $15. Have friends interested in picking it up, I might just take a gander at how my bank account is faring...

Sounds like he's praising DICE for the mediocre MoH and the crappy initial support for BC2. So I'm gonna go ahead and take this review with a slew of salt.

Meh, if there's two settings I hate its Wild West and Vietnam. I'll stick with regular BC2 and I'm actually a little annoyed this will split the user base. More online games should be like Counter Strike and not try to beat each other out every 6 months, communities die too fast because there's always something new around the corner. IMO every major franchise should seperate MP and SP into individual products. Instead of bringing out an updated MP component with every new title (like COD or Halo), just have a standalone multiplayer game with constant paid updates so the community stays in one place.

BC2 got the same score as KZ2 here, but it's 88 at metacritic.

Not getting. I didn't really enjoy BC2 that much and I doubt this would convince me otherwise. However I hope everyone that buys this have fun :)

Still not going to get me back into that game. I've allowed it to pass me by so I couldn't become competent at it again even if I wanted to try.

In the game, you mean? I'm talking about the song in general becoming cliched. It's like developers think that and Gimme Shelter were the only songs released in the Vietnam War era.

I can't think of a way to release paid content without splitting the user base. You'll always have people who choose to pay and those who don't. I don't think splitting the game in two would help.

It's nitpicky criticism that shouldn't be worth mentioning, but I guess that's the only negative feedback he could come up with.

Yeah I had that realisation after I posted, so maybe an inflated price with free updates. I just wish communities would last a lot longer than they do.

I've only played BC2 in the series, but it falls short of KZ2 in many ways, especially in visuals, sound, and game modes. One match in KZ2 has more modes than all of BC2.

I've been playing it today on the PC and it is fantastic. Well worth the 15 bucks. The fact that you also level up your main BC2 guy is awesome.

LEVELING UP/RANKING UP. dude i started playing online shooters with quake i dont give a **** about this noob **** i wish it would go away

It gives me more reasons to keep playing. I like stats tracking and ranking up.

Why is it that 99% of servers features some sort of server ranking thing in games that don't have leveling up? Oh yeah, because people like that stuff.

stats/rank doesnt prove a players true skill. you actually beating people 1 vs 1 and build a reputation within the community is how it's really done. this noob stuff pisses me off.

When did I ever say rank = skill?

I think we all know that rank doesn't mean squat. However in games like Battlefield Bad Company it shows how much you contribute to a team. I beat the crap out of rank 50 guys all of the time. A level just gives you more to work for and keeps the game more fun.

i have no interest in stats or rank period, it doesnt make me want to play more. see games now are stupid showing u how many times u died lol when u could of killed urself and got more death's than someone and still get more kills. people actually just try to find ways to level up without getting legitly doing it, people rank cheat all the time in just about every game. it's pointless to even have it, the people dont even play they just join a game and rank cheat lol.

The possibility of stat padding does not prevent people from recognizing the individual skill of players when facing them. Sounds more like you just prefer games that are more about the solo performance and competition than making a team effort to accomplish a common goal. There is no 1vs1 or free for all in Battlefield and there never will be. I don't know what alternatives are out there for you as I'm not interested in those types of games.

i've gotten back into BC 2 in the past couple weeks, can't wait for this.

BC 2 is such a wonderful game.

Dead-Memories
Same here. I'll have to consider getting this now :(.
