BFBC2 'Vietnam
Not long until the DLC is out. Heres a few details i found on http://www.gamersdailynews.com/story-20583-Battlefield-Bad-Company-2-Vietnam-Weapons.html
The Battlefield series has always had the design idea to build the gameplay around the shooting mechanics. Like DICE Veteran Lars Gustavsson says, if you don’t get the running and gunning right in a shooter, why bother?
No surprise, then, that one of the major features of their upcoming expansion pack Battlefield: Bad Company 2 Vietnam is an arsenal of new weapons. Or old weapons, as it were. Since the Vietnam War took place in the 60’s and early 70’s, the look and feel of these pieces are totally different from the modern day equipment we are used to from the base game.
Sure, we still have an M16 in Vietnam, but it’s the first generation model, with a different sound and handling than in the base game. Not to mention how it actually looks when you are gripping it. Every weapon in this expansion shows the wear and tear of jungle warfare. Think rusty pieces of metal and wood tied together with cloth. And you can forget to slap on a 4X scope on any old weapon. In Vietnam, you have to get close and personal and get the enemy in your iron sights to take him down.
The M79 grenade launcher (commonly referred to as "The Blooper") is also here. With its 40mm grenades and characteristic firing sound, this powerful weapon will clear out any tunnel so you can enter and arm that MCOM station in relative peace.
Below, you can see the NVA machine gun RPK in action. Note how it’s all rusty and tied together with a piece of cloth. This is a consistent art style throughout. In the jungle, you’re happy just to have a functioning gun. No time to muck about with weapon maintenance and the like.
Lastly in this blog post, let’s say a few words on the RPG. It functions much like in the base game, but remember: There are no tracer darts in Battlefield: Bad Company 2 Vietnam. Shooting down helicopters obviously is very hard now -- that’s why we have made the helicopters in this expansion take damage from ordinary weapons. And before you shout "imba!", rest assured we have spent a good deal of time balancing both sides on each map.

Thats the beauty with BC2 matey, the gameplay is so fookin awesome that game mode is irrelevant, if you get in a FrG squad mate you'll love it. I love it on my own too but squad based tactics is what this game was built around, no stupid gimmicks just good solid team based shooting.
Re: BFBC2 'Vietnam
So ...
When is this DLC coming and what will it cost me.
I think I think I will have a go at it when it comes out but it probably depends on how good Black Ops will be

Re: BFBC2 'Vietnam
Have been looking forward to this more than Black Ops.
Real weapons without all the gucci kit on them (LMG's with ACOG sights - As If!)
It shopuld be interesting as I find the existing jungly maps quite challenging.

Re: BFBC2 'Vietnam
cant wait to get on that Blooper and re-enact my one of my fave scenes from Apocolypse Now - oh hang on, you can do that on any map on COD.
