Much like it did with Battlefield 1943, developer DICE will add an additional map, Operation Hastings, once a community challenge is met in the multiplayer expansion Battlefield: Bad Company 2 Vietnam. However, this time DICE isn't making the challenge a collective kill count of 43 million. In keeping more with the spirit of cooperation in the game, the map will unlock once the community accomplishes 69 million team actions (double entendres abound).

In order to unlock the fifth Vietnam map, you'll have to heal, spot, repair, revive and resupply as often as possible ... but you were already doing that, right?

BFBC2 Vietnam will be drafted into service on December 21. Check out the Operation Hastings challenge video after the break.

69 million team actions will happen a lot sooner than kills, imo. Potentially 500+ team actions can be taken every game while only a few hundred kills at the most.

Anyways, it's funny that they have a reveal trailer for it when it was discovered more than 3 weeks ago that there would be a 5th map. :laugh:

I'm curious as to if and when we'll be able to have more guns? Not being funny, but I've nearly unlocked everything, I WANT MORE GUNS! :p haha At least, more upgrades or something..

Vietnam?

No, normal BC2not just that, do we have to be stuck @ level 50 for the rest of the games life? I wish they didn't set such a limit...

Yeah, I know what you mean. That's what stops me going back to the game from Black Ops...even though BC2 is superior.

I wish they would get rid of ranks. Too many people use ranks as an indicator of real skill.

I know it's not a show of skill, but level 50 is obviously not high enough, also, a lot of people in time will reach that level and then you'll have loads of people at the same rank which will be very misleading...

When it comes to sound saying BC2 sounds like a "watergun" ESPECIALLY in comparison to cod is ridiculous. BC2 sounds are far better in every way, and they are also much louder.

COD does have better movement, but I think when it comes to sound bc2 certainly destroys it

Exactly. The sound in this game is fantastic.

I don't like the feel of weapon in BF:BC2, they just sounds like water-gun. I have both BF:BC2, COD:MW and COD:Black Ops but I just prefer COD. IMO, COD has the most realistic feels of all the FPS games out there...

A water-gun? There is something wrong with your speakers then. The sounds in BC2 are pretty beefy. And COD is no more realistic really; if it's realism you like then you'd play Arma2 or something.

    • I hear you on browser password manager, in my case I have two Google profiles, one was created when Google decided to grandfather us out of Workspace for Domains (with the replacement being too expensive for 25 users) resulting in my domain email address no longer being able to be registered to a new Workspace I created (for myself and another co-owner) so I could use Takeout and sync over some stuff to the new Workspace. Then I have my personal Google profile which I could be logged into on my desktop or Mobile, so I am saving passwords on one or the other, and when an URL changes another password for the same service gets added, it basically ends up being a giant mess. Unless I missed something is there a local decent password manager that can override the browser password managers for Chrome, Edge, Firefox (profiles) so that there is only one vault, and does that also support Passkeys (which to me are still confusing because sometimes it will ask for a Passkey on a phone I am no longer using!) Microsofts implementation of Passkeys is the worst!
    • It's utterly baffling that we have no idea when we'll get new features even well after they've been released. Why Microsoft thinks this is a good rollout strategy is beyond me.
    • If it makes anybody happy, others will need to be bitter about it. (apologies to Yogi Berra)
    • I owned a lot of Soundblaster cards over the years all the way back to the ISA slot era. I use a Soundblaster X3 external now because I'm able to run it through a KVM and have it follow the machine I happen to be using. It drives a set of JBL 305 powered monitors wonderfully. I'm not gaming or doing home theater through it, so rear channels aren't a consideration for me, though it does have side / rear / sub outputs.
    • I disagree that using browser based password managers is a bad idea, your passwords are encrypted by the OS password, but they also be synchronized to make them helpful. I would also use a password manager extension that supports MFA TOTP and Passkeys to manage the account that synchronizes the data. Ente is 100% free and allows you to vault important information, has password vault support, and supports 2FA TOTP support, I just don’t believe, it has a browser extension.
