YouTube - Battlefield: Bad Company 2 VIP Map Pack 7 Gameplay Trailer

You wanted release dates for VIP Map Pack 7 and Battlefield: Bad Company 2 Vietnam? Why didn't you just say so?

No, seriously -- VIP Map Pack 7 goes live tomorrow! This is your chance to relive the awesomeness of fan favorite map Oasis, plus three more maps never before available in Battlefield: Bad Company 2 multiplayer.

Also: December 21. Save the date. That is when Battlefield: Bad Company 2 Vietnam will launch (December 22 for PS3 in Europe). If you prefer your battlefielding on PC, you can get a three day headstart on EA Store and Steam, where it will be available on December 18.

Note that in order to play VIP Map Pack 7, you need to update your game with Multiplayer Update 3.

Here is a complete list of all the fixes in the Xbox 360 Update:

- Acog and Red dot scope now equippable on MK-14 and G3.
- Fixed a bug on PC where the G3 would do less damage than intended.
- Reduced VADS push back and damage to balance it with the ZU23.
- Fixed a bug where Vehicle Countermeasures would fail to remove tracer darts at high speed.
- Reduced the reload time for Vehicle Countermeasures.
- Slightly increased the AT4's damage vs armor to emphasize its anti vehicle role while keeping it balanced vs armor.
- Increased the AT4’s top speed and acceleration so users spend less time exposed when firing.
- Increased the AT4's splash damage so it competes with other AT weapons vs infantry. The AT4 still has the least splash damage of all AT weapons.
- Reduced the splash damage of the Carl Gustav to bring it in line with other explosive weapons. The Carl Gustav still has the most splash damage of all AT weapons.
- Increased the 1 shot kill range of the M95 body shot to counter its lower rate of fire.
- Fixed a bug with the SVU that gave it better close range damage than other semi auto weapons.
- Reduced all weapon damage to the MCOM by 50%.
- Fixed a C4 vs MCOM exploit on Atacama Desert.
- Fixed a bug with FOV when aiming the M1911.
- Lowered the close range damage of the AN94 to highlight its long range role.
- Increased the accuracy of the F2000 on the move to highlight its role as a mobile AR.
- Increased the close range damage of the shotguns to give them a greater advantage vs slugs.
- Slightly lowered the damage of the M60 to balance its accuracy advantage vs other LMGs.
- Slightly lowered the damage of the MG3 at close range to balance it with other high rate of fire weapons.
- Slightly increased the damage of the UH6

Harvest day AND Oasis for free?

Never have I shed a tear of joy untill now

You know what i might sell halo for this.

Yes!

Get the Ultimate edition so you get Onslaught aswell!




Everyone, get it

I did enjoy my days as a medic, so hells to the yes im getting it.

2 favourite maps are back

EDIT: Just played both the maps... They removed the AA gun from the first base on Oasis and the helicopter destroys everyone. Its not like you can hit it with a rocket either because everyone does that thing where they fly round strafing really fast in a circle, randomly increasing and decreasing height. The scope of the rocket launcher cant even keep up with it and you have to damn lucky to hit it without aiming at that speed.

And Harvest day EVERYONE snipes or is in tanks. Plus the defenders get heavy tanks on the first base (before it was just 1 light tank if I remember correctly) what just makes it pointless giving the attacking team tanks.

Cold War however, is my new favourite map.

More news:

DICE has hidden a little bit of a sweetener in their new Vietnam expansion for Battlefield: Bad Company 2 which will reward players collectively for playing the new pack.

Bad Company 2 Vietnam includes a fifth hidden map within the pack that will automatically unlock when the PC, PS3 and Xbox 360 communities amass, collectively, 69 million team actions on the four Vietnam levels.

The additional map is called Operation Hastings and was first seen way back on the PC online title Battlefield: Vietnam.

This is by far my favourite FPS on the 360, time to dust off the old Carl Gustav and get sniping with it.

Taking care of that helicopter on Oasis shouldn't be too much hassle, might take a few tries. Keller's witnessed me take down a lot of 'strafers' and I've seen other people do it with ease.

Yeah, its not impossible to hit, but the base is really small so it can circle it REALLY fast. You won't be able to do it with ease. Its not too bad though as long as you don't mind dying loads on the first base.
