Not everyone thinks Black Ops is a Godsend...... "
Oh really, well I'll be sure to proffer my opinion on that once I actually play Black Ops.

Wow, this really seems to have bothered a bunch of people. 
The reason for this, I assume, is that DICE is swedish and over here (and in a bunch of other countries) comma is used for the decimal mark. And I guess one swede was just very used to writing it that way.   
Beyond that, the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) actually specifies both comma and point as correct.  
Although I did also read that "It [comma] has been made standard by the ISO for international blueprints". Make of it what you will.

Jesus christ people, 9,5 is proper notation in much of the world.
 
It's okay to be ignorant about unimportant shit like that: but to bash a trailer for it without at least looking to see whether someone, somewhere, uses different notation than you? Get over yourselves.

Nah. Using a comma for a decimal point (key word here being point) is annoying and jarring no matter how "right" some people on the other side of the globe consider it to be.

" Anyone know the song name? "
Fortunate son  It is THE Vietnam song "
Indeed. I actually laughed out loud when I read the note on BC:V's Steam store page which proudly stated that "Fortunate Son" would be on the soundtrack.  
 
I'm sure that this will be an enjoyable experience, I only wish that a company with a better support base was handling it (BC2 has endured several patches and still retained its multiplayer balance/squad-joining flaws).

@drag:  I have a question regarding the vid, do the police in the US realliy cut off your balls? Seems extreme if they do, is it to stop nutters from procreating. Loved the way he said that the guy filming was crazy, is that the old saying takes one to know one?

Are you serious? Firstly it's neither right or wrong - just different people have different ways of writing things. And Secondly -  who the fuck cares? Are you so used to getting everything your own way that looking at alternate styles of punctuation offends you? I hope i'm being trolled here but if not........jesus.

Why argue with the fellow? If he is for want of the faculties which would bring about the kind of understanding that you're looking for, then so be it.

You are most probably correct but I just can't help myself sometimes.

Should be fun, even though they released it already a few years ago (on pc.)

The maps in this expansion are teh suck... I was so excited about this game and i preordered it as soon as it hit the steam store. So damn disappointed. The maps are cramped, tiny, and rather badly designed. :(
 
Guns and vehicles are, as usual for dice, pretty spectacular. Doesn't really matter much, though, seeing as the maps won't keep you interested for very long. I'll mention that I only played the conquest maps. If you like Rush, the maps might be much better. The conquest maps felt very much like parts of rush maps. very corridor-y.

So they cancel BF1943 on the PC for this shit?    
I remember when BF:Vietnam came out on the PC, it was the most underbalanced, resource-heavy game you could come across.  DICE has WAAAAAY too many projects on the go, and I don't care what anybody says, BF1942 was and still is their best game BY FAR.  And that was 8 years ago.

I hope Vinny starts using that innovative "corpse wipe" from this trailer, great way to spice up those quicklooks!

@Oxar Well here in America, it looks funny. Regardless what the ISO says.
