Battlefield: Bad Company 2 Vietnam – Join The Battle For Hastings On December 21!

Hi, PlayStation fans! My name is Tommy Rydling, and I’m a Jr. Product Manager at DICE.
I’m here to tell you about the cool community challenge we’ll be running for Battlefield: Bad Company 2 Vietnam. Maybe just a quick recap on this digital expansion pack first: It’s Battlefield: Bad Company 2 gameplay only set in the 60’s in the jungles of Vietnam, featuring new weapons, new vehicles, and two hours of era-specific music – all played on five brand-new maps.

Actually, this is where the Community Challenge kicks in. Our fifth map is a bonus one – a treat that you need to earn by showing us you know what Battlefield team play is all about.
This is not just any bonus, by the way: it’s the classic Operation Hastings map, made famous in our PC game Battlefield: Vietnam from 2004. If you didn’t play it back then, it’s one of the favorite maps among our fans – it features everything awesome in one fantastic arena: boats, helicopters, tanks, jeeps, temples, and the signature bridge dividing the map into two strategic areas.

To make things a little more interesting, we’re giving you, the players, the power to unlock this fifth map!
So what do you need to do? Easy. You and all your friends playing on PS3 need to perform 69 million team actions across Battlefield: Bad Company 2 and Battlefield: Bad Company 2 Vietnam. So what’s a team action? Well, it’s any and all of these: resupply, revive, heal, spot, and repair.
As soon as all of the players on PS3 have amassed 69 million of these team actions, we will unlock Operation Hastings for you to play. As with all other maps in this expansion pack, all four game modes (Conquest, Rush, Squad Rush and Squad Deathmatch) are available on Operation Hastings.
For an action packed preview of the map and this community challenge, just watch the video at the top of this post. Oh, and if you want something to hold you until the launch of Battlefield: Bad Company 2 Vietnam, I’d like to remind you that we released four new maps for Battlefield: Bad Company 2 a couple of days ago in VIP Map Pack 7.
If you’re a VIP player (if not, you can always get a VIP code at the in-game store), you get four maps never before available in Battlefield: Bad Company 2 multiplayer.
Battlefield: Bad Company 2 Vietnam is out on PS3 on December 21 in the NA and December 22 in Europe. VIP Map Pack 7 is out now. For more info on Battlefield: Bad Company 2 Vietnam and the current standings in the Battle for Hastings, visit the Official Site.
