DICE Hasten Things Up

The world was promised an extra map on Battlefield: Bad Company 2: Vietnam when the players on their platform succeeded in performing 69,000,000 team actions. While the PC players steamrolled right through that and unlocked the Operation Hastings map, both the xbox and ps3 players have been a bit behind (i choose to believe they were busy playing a certain other vietnam war game that maybe didn't do so well on the PC). Well DICE have decided that being the new year and all, they're going to go ahead and unlock the extra map for PS3 and 360 players too. So what do you think? Generous unlock by DICE? or failed marketing campaign to get more players?

Back To 'Nam

The highly anticipated expansion/add-on, Battlefield: Bad Company 2 Vietnam, has been priced and dated. The expansion will bring with it new maps, guns and anything else Dice can think of adding to make you want to play Black Ops less. Vietnam will be available from the 21st of December (earlier for those pre-ordering PC gamers out there) for 1200 MS Points.

Honorable Beta

So many people have been playing the beta for Medal of Honor and many have commented on it's similarity to Bad Company 2's multiplayer (being that the Dice team helped make it). Well it looks like the cross over is set to continue as we now know that people who purchase the special edition of Medal of Honor will also get access to the beta of... Battlefield 3. Not much is known about Battlefield 3 yet, however the beta will apparently be taking place within 12 months of the Medal of Honor release. So Battlefield fans, if you haven't already, go out and pre-order your copy of Medal of Honor now.
