bfbc2 update - vietnam

simmo said:

Not touching Vietnam with a bargepole...its a port as far as I'm aware so miniscule maps with 32 players sucks..I barely play BC2 anymore because the maps are so small..
Waiting on BC3 which apparently is being developed with PC's in mind...that is much bigger maps so at least you wont get killed in spawn area by some sniper sitting half a map away..in theory lol

And btw we are getting 2 new maps for BC2 soonish so I read someplace..hope they are bigger lol

Well, you better get used to it.

And BTW, BFBC2 absolutely rocks, the new maps are insanely fun (Harvest Day is by far the biggest map on BFBC2 now).

Just pre-ordered Vietnam as well .

Has anyone encountered lag since the new patch? Everyone I talk to says they lag when playing online.

Some lag is always expected when a new patch is being deployed (servers need to update as well).

yup your right we did get new maps I never noticed...I just set for rush and join w/e server I can get into at the time.
MY BC2 is going thru EA tho not Steam..just tried to associate the game to steam account for zilch...do I have to reinstall this tho I just did and Steam didnt auto pick up on it when I did the install like it did with NV and Metro.
How do I get Steam to pick it up cos I dc mostly because I lose the link to EA?

Mickey hope you guys are running all three in the rotation on your server.

And yes the three new rush maps at least are lots of fun.

P.S. for anyone that hasn't updated or is having problems with the auto-update here is at least one of the standalone installers (direct link to EA),

i actually amicably left the clan several months ago, although i do still play there from time to time - that's why i don't wear tags any more. they only have a rush server now, whereas i generally prefer conquest - i don't like defending :)

i'm sure that the *Mine* guys will be running the new maps...it's always good to get something new for free.

looking forward to vietnam too...

well i'm really enjoying the new conquest maps - it's almost like a whole new game (or rather like an old game) with the wide open spaces and lots of vehicles.

can't wait to see what they've got in store for vietnam...

any noticing (very small) bugs though?

i keep seeing a 'reload' message on my screen, even when i've got a full clip. i think this is a new bug.

the ump-45 (and ump-sa) reloads instantly, without a reload animation. i think this is an old bug.

...or is it just me?
