I'm personally intruiged by this concept but I don't have a clue what it's going to be. So what does the community think. Is it a purely single player experience, is it just multiplayer or is it a combination of the two? Also what would you like to see Dice add to BFBC2 with this so-called expansion? Jets, Flamethrowers, spike pits?

@Jonny7892: It's multiplayer only, with 4 new maps (no word on how many map variables), new weapons and vehicles. They are going to add new assets because of the new setting.

It's an effort to keep Battlefield players playing Battlefield and away from COD: Black Ops.

Hopefully its a reasonably priced expansion to an already good game. ( I don't mind paying for my own Huey though.)

As opposed to Medal of Honor?

You had better be able to play music from the helicopters.

An expansion to an already top notch FPS experience imo.  Looking forward to this. Keep the BFBC2 content coming!

If you mean MoH is meant to keep them away from COD, you might be right.  But if you think they are trying to keep them away from MoH with Battlefield, that's dumb because they helped make MoH.

I meant what I said. DICE loves poking at COD. The next COD game is Vietnam based so naturally Battlefield releases some Vietnam themed maps to keep things interesting.

The next COD is based on the Cold War and not primarily set in Vietnam. Of course, the timing is suspect, but DICE probably made this as sort of a pseudo-remake of Battlefield: Vietnam. Just like Battlefield: 1943 was to Battlefield: 1942.

YES... please put in some music from Battlefield: vietnam..
Also as said already it is an expansion... alot of BF games had expansions:
BF 2142 (1 expansion ) BF 2 (2 expansions)
they added new maps modes vehicles classes... although i doubt a new class..
No new singleplayer content in the old expansions because there was no Singleplayer..
I hoped they would build on the beginning onf BC2 campaign... which is WW2 against the koreans..
