This is what DLC should be. I can't bring myself to pay money for "here's a new level and two new guns for the game you've already played to death!"

Wasn't it Battlefield: Air Raid or something? I recall seeing a new battlefield game trademarked.

the exec producer behind this was the producer behind that Battlefield heroes, so a lot of people are expecting something in that casual space.

They've already essentially acknowledged they are working on that. Medal of Honor gives you beta access. They announced this announcement has nothing to do with that.

There are none. If you buy it new you get the "VIP" pass which means it unlocks some stuff off the disc. If you buy it used you have to pay for that VIP pass online. It's like 5 or 10 dollars I think. 

There is some dlc for onslaught mode which is a survival mode against the AI that you can play co-op but that's a waste of money imo.

The Vietnam expansion is supposed to come out in the next month or so and it includes four new maps and vietnam era weapons.

Edit: there is also some dlc for a different camo skin for each class but I also think those are a waste.

Battlefield: Play4Free announced

EA's announced a realistic first-person free-to-play PC Battlefield game set in the modern theatre of war and designed to appear to hardcore shooter fans.

It's called Battlefield: Play4Free, and looks like a cross between Battlefield 2 and Battlefield: Bad Company 2 – indeed it employs the fourth generation of the PC engine that was used to create BF2, Battlefield 2142 and Battlefield Heroes.

Unlike the cartooney Battlefield Heroes, released last year, Play4Free is a gritty military FPS. It's created by the team behind Heroes at EA's free-to-play division at DICE, Easy Studios.

There's vehicular warfare, sandbox gameplay and 32-player battles. It combines popular maps from Battlefield 2 with familiar classes and weapons from Battlefield: Bad Company 2. It's got 16 vehicles, including the F-35 jet fighter and the Russian T-90 tank.

It also simulates the career progression of a professional soldier. Players can learn skills, buy new equipment and weapons to craft a unique soldier.

Visually, weapon models from Bad Company 2 are used. Post-processing effects like film grain, colour grading and depth of field are also included.

With Play4Free, Easy's aimed to create a fast-paced modern shooter for fans of the likes of Bad Company 2, Medal of Honor and Call of Duty.

"We're filling those other moments in the day," Easy boss Ben Cousins told Eurogamer.

"Maybe you want to play a single-player game on console. Maybe it's you and four buddies playing in a squad on console. This is more about you jumping in with 32 players, maybe playing against strangers, a bit more of an RPG experience, more of an MMO way of approaching things.

"On the surface, it looks like, why would I ever play a console title again? But there are differences and different moments there, I think."

Like Heroes, however, Play4Free will employ a micro-transaction-based business model.

"Five per cent of the audience buy stuff. 95 per cent of people never spend any money at all," Cousins explained.

"Five per cent want to customise their character, they want to look cool, they want a slightly cooler weapon, they feel they can get advantage over other players by buying stuff. Those guys fund the experience for everyone else. It's a classic free-to-play business model, which we're really comfortable with and we've got really good at now."

There will be links between Heroes, Play4Free and Battlefield 3 in the future, "to reward you for keeping in the ecosystem and jumping from game to game."

If you hit level 15 in Heroes, for example, you could unlock an exclusive item in Play4Free. If you hit a certain level in Play4Free, you could get access to special content in BF3.

Closed beta sign-ups start today, with the closed beta opening on 30th November. The game goes live into open beta early next year.

Vietnam games have never been popular, but I'm wondering if the big success of gaming based on Iraq (and gritty shooters in general) could lead to them becoming more of a fps staple. Seems like the WWII fetish is dead.

VIP Map Pack 7 includes four maps, two of which are "fan favourites" Oasis and Harvest Day. It's all free for PC and console VIP players.

The maps previously in Bad Company have been reworked for the sequel, and in the process have gained "full Destruction 2.0 (buildings collapsing and micro destruction), enhanced graphics and lighting, and remastered ambient sounds and backgrounds".

The final two maps in the pack are Cold War and Heavy Metal, both originating from the single-player portion of the DICE-developed shooter.

Talking specifically about Oasis, level designer Cristian Pavel said: "The map has not been changed drastically, so returning players will feel right at home the moment they step into this Oasis.

"The revised parts of the levels are minor. For example, the gold crates in BC1 were located on the rooftops, which we can't have now that entire buildings can collapse. So we had to put the crates on the ground in some places. Things like that."

VIP Map Pack 7 is "on its way", according to DICE.

Is this the first free map pack that isn't just a refresh of existing BC2 maps? I've been out of the loop on this game for a while.

Pretty much. Good to see it though. The game desperately needed new maps for a long time now. Plus the Vietnam expansion will help on that front.

Amazon is selling BC2 Ultimate PS3/360 for $29.99 for the next few hours.  For that price, I'm definitely giving it a shot.  PS3 this time though!

They really need to fix online on the PC. Unless you're using the server browser; it's useless. The "Play Now" just puts you in empty games.

Any of you dudes want to play a little Bad Company 2? I'm rank 4 now on the Xbox 360 version. I'm glad it registered right off the bat that I'm a veteran because when I did that for the PS3 at launch, it was an extreme fucking hassle.


Busy tonight but I'll play tomorrow if you want.

It was added in the last patch that coincided with the new maps. Although it has so little ammo I feel like I need to take the extra ammo perk which gets rid of the red dot so its kind of a catch 22.

I'm sure there'll be a $20 steam bundle a couple of months from now.  I kinda wanna get it but I never have much time to play a MP game for long.  Is this one of those games that suck for noobs because everyone else has power boosts from XP?

I'm gonna get it for PC, for sure, but I was thinking if I liked it enough I'd pick up another copy for the 360 if it were standalone.  I'm definitely not gonna go buy BFBC2 for 360 and then spend another $15 for the Vietnam expansion.

I'm trading my copy of BC2 plus paying $15 bucks for AC: Brotherhood.  Just realized why he wanted the money.
