The Vietnam expansion for Battlefield: Bad Company 2 (all versions) was announced at E3, and then it seemed to disappear for a while there. It's back, thankfully, with a new trailer and a few screenshots.

The add-on still has no price, but when it becomes available this winter, we'll be getting a significant chunk of new material. Four maps (playable across all multiplayer modes), six vehicles, 15 weapons, 10 Trophies/Achievements, new in-game dialogue, and 49 songs.

Yes, EA DICE got "Fortunate Son." Scratch that off your checklist.

I don't think I could play something as light hearted as this about the Vietnam War.

Wow, it's just Bad Company 2 with like every Vietnam cliche in the universe. I wonder if it has a burned out, hippie Dennis Hopper character and a special guest appearance by R. Lee Ermey. War is hell, but I'll be damned if it doesn't make corporate whores that would never fight in one super wealthy.

those guys have the best support in all of Vietnam! First dude hits the ground, and they have airstrikes, jeeps, and tanks coming out of the woodwork.

This looks like it's gonna be fun. I don't know why everyone is getting so asshurt over the Vietnam theme. It's a video GAME for fuck sakes.

@moose, chill out. Some things hit closer to
hone than others. Just 'cause you have no problem doesn't mean it isn't offensive to someone else.

I'll admit, I wasn't impressed, but I'm sure there is much more to come.

Something about the trailer put me off, usually when I think about Bad Company, I'd think of it's light bigheartedness and wit. This was somewhat light hearted but it showed calm scenes of a brutal battlefield, I don't know how to explain it.

I don't think this expansion knows what to be yet. It wasn't light hearted nor all that serious, despite the explosions. Can it be both? Sure, but it didn't pull it off. Then again, its just a trailer.
