The "expansion" pack for Bad Company 2 has received a trailer.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tZb-49QTy-4&feature;=player_embedded

The end of the trailer states that the expansion will be $15, or 1200 MS Points.

What do you guys think of the price? I was expecting EA to charge $20, but it looks like they choose a more reasonable price point.

No date has been announced, but it is still on track for Winter.

Sweet. I want it now because of the cheap price.

Fair price really. 

completely sold now, was expecting them to have it at $20, glad they did not do that

Yep! thats a good price alright for something totally re-made. :D 

They confirmed four maps, although we don't know if that means two rush, two conquest, or 4 rush and 4 conquest, or anything in between.

no more bad company for me

Awesome. And the pricing is the icing on the cake. Expected a waaay higher pricetag. 
 
Sweet 'effin deal! 
 
Oh - and here's a proper embed... 
 
  

SOLD.

$15 is perfect. I was expecting something like 20-25. Now that it's been priced, I'd expect a release date soon.

That helicopter. Holy shit that helicopter looks cool. I'm so sold.

Will be buying. 

Sounds good to me.

God I hope they have Operation Flaming Dart from Battlefield Vietnam in this!

Whats BC2 running out at retail these days?  Sorta makes me want to pick up the game.  Is the online community active?

Perfect price point for me, i'll be getting this for sure.

better late than never i guess

Will get, can't wait to get back to a lower-tech Battlefield.

15 dollars seems like a good price.

  enjoy the console designed game...

wow i was expecting it to be 40 so i was gonna get my APB redeemed for it, now i can get that and something else, score 
 
also fuck APB

Awesome more BFBC2 fun times.  Have to split this between my Black Ops time.  
 
QUESTION: Are Robert DeNiro & Christopher Walken going to be in this?
 
 15 bucks little man put that shit in my hand
If the money doesn't show
Then you owe me owe me OWE!

They said there will be 40 songs for the radio.

" Will get, can't wait to get back to a lower-tech Battlefield. "

I was buying no matter what but the 14.99 price tag makes it all the bit sweeter. Just waiting for the release date!

Hot damn!  I WILL be buying this.  I was honestly willing and expecting to pay $30 bucks for this.

Melee will still be broken as hell :D

It's a great price imo.
 
Sadly I'm just not into Vietnam at all, aesthetically.

" @Tennmuerti Aesthecally, it will be pretty similar to BC2 (in terms of jungle and stuff). Like people are saying, the lack of 4x optics should make the combat more exciting (providing that the weapons are not super accurate). Looking forward to it, I just hope we get 4 rush and 4 conquest maps, but I kind of doubt that at the $15 price point. "

Am I the only one not willing to pay $15 for 4 maps? 
 
TF2 has spoiled me.

At least 4 maps. 15 new weapons. 6 new vehicles. 46 Vietnam era music tracks.  It's essentially an official 'Total Conversion Mod' for BF:BC 2.  For that price, who the hell wouldn't want to get it? "

Hmm...Ride of the Valkyries might have just made that worth it. Also, do you say at least because  there is the possibility of more free maps down the line for people that bought it? "

The engine has a lot of though put into it for the consoles. When your primary development is the console, one may forget or ignore issues/vulnerabilities that may exist if it were to be ported onto the PC. I bet these hacks, in the videos above, would work on the console too, but there are most likely hurdles restricting such ability; hurdles that are not present on the PC. They did not foresee this on the PC because they did not develop it with a PC mind, I think.
 
When you hear devs talking about 'streamlining' shit, you know what they mean? They don't want to consider too many variables. They want to make a cookie cutter game; a one size fits all type of game. They don't want to dedicate time now to really highlight the high points of each system. They have one core gameplay and want to mirror it to all systems. 
 
BF2 was the last PC battlefield game. With BF3, Demize the dev person, said they would show extra attention to the PC. WTF does that mean?  With BF2 did they say they would show extra attention to the PC version?  or extra attention to the consoles for BF2:MC ??
 
Look at the thread I made in BF3 forum:
 

PC players have their own set of requirements. They tend to play only on PC, and they know their PCs have capabilities beyond that of a console. The gap is narrowing, but PCs still have a clear advantage in memory. PC players also demand a PC interface, a server browser, and anything that feels like it might have been "ported" from a console is going to get flamed hard. They are more forgiving of complex systems and will tear any design down into its parts to really figure out how it works. It's a damn sight harder to please a PC player, they have higher expectations.

" Funny, I thought 5 maps for $15 was supposed to be some kind of heinous crime punishable by  death and boycotting and all the impotent rage one man's internet poastings will allow.But 4 for $14 hey that's a pretty good deal looking forward to it.   Gamers :/  "

It's not a mere map pack. It's a total conversion Vietnam modification of BF:BC 2. 15 new weapons. 6 new vehicles. 46 Vietnam themed music tracks. At least 4 all new maps.  Get your facts straight dude. Of course that's a sweet deal. Only being gratis could top this. "

I haven't checked in here recently, is this available yet ?
