BFBC2: Vietnam Release Date Revealed? Plus, Get Vietnam 3 days Early
Update: figures they would officially announce the release date literally a minute after I post this. DICE says the date is the 21st, but that those participating in the three day headstart can get their hands on the game on the 18th–the date that Steam was listing. Looks like Steam has let the cat out of the bag: it’s listing the release date for the upcoming Battlefield Bad Co 2’s expansion. What would that date be, you ask? December 18th, of course. On that day, you will be able to purchase Vietnam for 14.99–15 bucks for 4 new maps with “foxholes, tunnels and dense jungles from where the enemy can launch surprise attacks”, 15 new weapons, and a 60’s soundtrack to boot. Or, you can pre-order off of the EA Store and receive access to the expansion 3 days earlier than everyone else: the “three day headstart” is their preorder incentive. So, if Steam is to be believed, that means people preordering from the EA Store could start playing Vietnam on the 15th. |
Pre-ordered from Steam today. According to Steam, the 3 day jump applies to Steam purchasers, also. So I think the actual relase date will be Dec 21, while those purchasing either through EA Store OR Steam get the jump.
