so i downloaded it today, but i cant play it until tomorrow? is that the deal?

I think so :( 

damn it all to hell i got excited!

Damn that must suck

So not a great start to my Vietnam experience.  In a span of about a hour and a half this game has completely locked up my 360 twice :(  My 360 does not lock up on any other games.  I hope this is just a fluke.
 
Here's where it decided I was done playing last time.  I have a grenade sitting between 3 enemies and a rocket about to be launched their way.  What a bitch.

Do 360 users have to pay for the add-on or does it come as a VIP freebie like the map packs?

It's an expansion, 1200 points

" Yep it's an expansion pack.  Honestly I'm surprised they're not selling this on store shelves as a standalone well.  I'm sure they'd get some new users, especially on the console end. "

really i think its a big miss that it requires BC2 to play. 1943 was a HUGE success for EA. i cant help but feel they are limiting there customer base. "

I'm having a blast! Played it many hours today, mostly Conquest since (for some reason) people are apparently to busy killing each other in Rush instead of actually DEFUSING THE BOMBS. 
 
Seriously, what the fuck. Oh if I only would ragequit every time it happen.

" @Mahonay: Yeah, although that's true about BC2 in general. That's why I rarely play the multiplayer without three of my friends. "

I have some very minor complaints about the expansion, the latest of which is the lack of flamethrower pins and especially the lack of stars for it.

It seems like you kill people faster now.
