BC2 finally gets new maps(ish)

Better than nothing I suppose, and months late. Haven't had anything new in ages.

i gave up when it asked my age lol feck off ea am to lazy

So 4 maps, with all 4 multi player modes.

This is finally a decent bit of content, and not just a new game mode.

Looking forward to playing them - whenever they decide to release them.

BFBC2 is soooooo 2009, Black Ops is the new KING!!!! :eek:


Only takin the piss....cant wait for this. At last I have two games to fight over. Decisions decisions, you up for a session (gaming lol) the weekend dubs. Get the babby over to the mother and give the GF and few quid for a bacardi breezer and you sorted!

I dont agree with that at all m8. One man's meat....n all that. I would say it depends who you play with, I mean if you were having a laugh with COD:BO online with mates and not with BFBC2 you would say the opposite.

BFBC2 is a much more TEAM based game where as COD:BO has different modes, TDM is all about kills so slow camping (moving cautiously) and flag domination (holding 2 and hammering the 3rd but not taking) is the name of the game. CTF is totally different, teamwork and observation are a must and I find it the best all round game mode. While I absolutely detest S&D not coz I get killed 1st far from it but peeps move around like they are holding china cups not very intense....and a tad boring.

So all in all I would say there are totally different games that cater for different players. I am rank 44 in BFBC2 and found it very hard to adjust to the run and gun type play of COD:BO but after what may seem run and gun tactics do play a part (with the right people)

Unfortunately and fortunately I am shooter. I have to say its not a great game but its FUN, and its something to play innit.

The thing I find about it is there is not MUCH skill involved that I can see. In so far as the fact its so pure run and gun its a case of been in the right place at the right time to kill someone. An opinion backed up by the leaderboards in every game....its not always the highest most experienced ranks winning like game they fluctuate so much its mad. And then you get the COD Veterans jumping and hopping and diving and toobing like a mother****er on maps that are too small for 15 of them doing it. Really is like UNREAL TOURNAMENT 2010.

Some would say thats a good thing (The leaderboards fluctuating)I tend to disagree TBH, because its not the game that stacks it that way its just luck. Yes you can maximise your chances by knowing the maps and invest in some silly dolphin diving and bunny hopping but meh....thats not me.

Take me for example....I am now LEVEL 7 PRESTIGE and am average at the game....WTF. People who are ranked say 40 or higher in BFBC2 are on the most part very good and accurate players....maybe I am over analyising it too much......lol.

Its a good for a while lets put it that way and I wanted to play this coz I never played the last one.

Cant wait for these new maps.....:cool:

Map pack is out Tomorrow!



It now makes sense why todays patch was 2.6gb

its only 1.64 gig on the xbox. wonder why so much bigger on PC?

Lower quality textures I presume. Fallout: New Vegas was another recent example of this.

Added to the lack of DX10/11 extensions, single texture pack as opposed to multiple for PC (for different settings) etc etc it easily explains the difference.

Just played a bit of the new patch there. Liked it, a LOT

Hit detection seems to have improved, as has overall performance for some reason.

Scopes available for M14 and G3 make them really worthwhile weapons now, I sniped with an M14 lol
