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.

      This seems backwards. You should have to explicitly authorize files for outside use. It shouldn't be the default.

      Wow you are right, I never even noticed this until you said it! (870E Aorus Master) Before testing this card I had a TP-Link tx401 10GbE PCIe card in that slot (now using XikeStor 310 Thunderbolt to Ethernet adapter).

      Lack of 5.1 makes this a no sale. What I really wish creative would make would be a USB version that supports 5.1 analog audio for speakers, can switch to headphone mode, and matches the specs of their top tier cards. The current X870E AMD motherboards dont have a great option for adding a PCIE x1 card without cutting down pcie lanes to the graphics card.
    • The Microsoft Office feature that time forgot

      By Usama Jawad96 · Posted

      The Microsoft Office feature that time forgot by Usama Jawad I have been actively using Microsoft Word for the past couple of decades in academic, professional, and personal capacities. Although I used it through the perpetual version of Office apps at the start, I have been an active subscriber of Microsoft 365 Family subscription for over five years now. This means that my Word installation is regularly updated with new features, some of which I don't really like, but that's beside the point. As new features get continuously added, old ones that used to be a staple of Word have started to take a backseat. While I was reminiscing over my Windows experiences from my childhood today, I suddenly remember one such capability that I heavily used in my younger years but have not really touched in over a decade, and haven't seen in documents created by others either. That feature is WordArt. Just to clarify, WordArt is not a Microsoft product specific to Word, and is included in other Office apps like PowerPoint and Excel too. However, Microsoft Word is the app that I used Word Art in heavily, while making assignments or other deliverables for school. If you're unaware, WordArt offers a collection of styling techniques for text, introducing 3D effects like shadows and reflections in the text. It used to be one of the coolest things ever when I was at school and me and my classmates would often compete to ensure that our assignment's title in WordArt was truly the best and stood out above the rest. See some examples of WordArt, still present in the latest versions of Word below: Although WordArt is undeniably cool, it has taken a bit of a backseat, and has been relegated from the Home tab to the Insert toolbar, along with a bunch of other utilities, making it very easy to miss. This isn't exactly surprising because WordArt doesn't really have a place in academic and professional documents anymore, and while I have seen some creatives using it while developing promo material, even that sector has gravitated more towards dedicated graphic designing tools in the past years. For the vast majority of us, WordArt doesn't really exist, and that's alright. At least, it's still an option that can allow us to reminisce our childhood or even make some quick text stylization, if we really need it. Perhaps its usage has waned over time or the novelty has worn off, but I haven't even seen children use it in their academic assignments anymore. In fact, many don't even know that it exists. Maybe that's the fate of every beloved feature. What once felt cutting edge eventually becomes a relic, quietly tucked away as tastes, trends, and technology move on. WordArt may no longer dominate school assignments or decorate the covers of classroom projects, but for those of us who grew up with it, it remains a colorful reminder of a time when making text glow, bend, and cast giant shadows felt like the height of creativity. Hidden behind a few clicks in modern Word, it still survives not as a productivity tool, but as a small piece of computing nostalgia that refuses to disappear.
