Jeff's dislike/apathy towards the Zombie mode here in this pack saddens me. The zombie map included here is the best one since Der Riese on WAW.

I'm not looking to start a BC2 vs. COD fanboy war or anything, but can someone please explain to me why COD and Halo always get new quicklooks for new content/map packs, yet to this day Bad Company 2 has only gotten 1 quicklook, and that was for the BETA. There was never a new quicklook for any of the new maps or even for Vietnam. I'm sorry but that's just inexcusable.

Dear lord, I can't believe they mentioned "Dream On". All I remember is one episode where the main dude was asked to artificially inseminate one of his female friends. He got all weird and parental and was acting all hurt when she didn't want him to actually be a father to the child or to have intercourse with her to get her knocked up...but then something happened where he actually did have to have sex with her. I don't know; that show was strange.

I dunno why they think it's so weird that it's takes forever to find a game.  It always takes as long or longer than they spent waiting for me to find a game.  Does it usually go faster for others people than what's shown at the beginning of this video?

CoD Matchmaking & Networking Code = Worst Shit Ever. 
 
Why they cannot create a game without host migration issues, disconnects, parties getting split up constantly is beyond me. I guess a billion dollars in sales cannot buy them quality coders.

Inexcusable? The crew's taste in games is "inexcusable"?? Well, your taste in comments is inexcusable, so there! Maybe you haven't noticed, but Giant Bomb has never been about total coverage. Hell, barely even partial coverage. They play what they feel like playing, they show what they feel like showing and that's why the people who come to this site come to this site. Yeah, I'd love to see more Battlefield stuff, myself, but what right do I have to demand it?

"if parents are okay with their kids playing this that's fine", yeah if they are all bad parents. I guarantee half have no idea what is in the game they just bought it for their kids. I'm sure one or two 8 year olds in a class might be smart and mature enough for this, but Vinnie said all the kids in third grade are talking about it. This game is mega violent. And there are planty of other games for 8 years olds, and not all of us watched porn on showtime at 8 like Jeff did... I would also say an 8 year old should be outside playing, not playing the most addictive time consuming game since WoW, (all the wives of Call of Duty players can back me up on that one). And do I need to point out Jeff has had some social issues in his life? (high school). just saying from little bits i have heard from him over the years - Jeff does not seem to have the most "typical" childhood. (Luckily you play video games for a living now, but otherwise you'd be a murderer by now Jeff.) Im kidding, but I am serious that i don't think bachelor Jeff is an expert on what an 8 year old kid should be playing.....

There is always a small mailbox here. Still haven't played Black Ops, MW2, or even Modern Warfare. I really should get ahead. For some reason though, this is reminding me I should play more World in Conflict. I think it's that Berlin map at Checkpoint Charlie (which looks great).

Really enjoying the maps! They are very well-made. Except Stadium. That map can go sit in the corner.

hearing jeff talk about being a kid/his parents made me realise that at some point jeff WAS a kid. Weird. Don't know why that was so shocking to me. 
 
(also the only thing my mom ever got mad about was Austin Powers, oddly enough.)

Heh, don't know how I feel about you saying that, since I hated Der Riese but love zombies.
 
For some people, buying 4 maps makes them feel like they're being ripped off. I know a guy who's buying the map pack just for the new zombies. Ripped off to the maximum

I have been so spoiled by Valve PC FPS's like Team Fortress 2, because I think it's CRAZY that that not only will they sell 5 maps for $15, but so many people are willing to buy them.

Yeah that's a fair point. They did do a TNT for BF: Vietnam, so that's something at least.

@SleepyDoughnut: I continue to wonder this. Maybe none of them really like BFBC2 all that much (other than Rorie), but I really wish they would do more Quick Looks of the Battlefield Series.
