DICE Wishes You a Happy New Year By Unlocking BC2 Vietnam's Operation Hastings Map

To ring in the new year, DICE announced that they have unlocked the Operation Hastings map early for Bad Company 2: Vietnam console players, after PC players kicked everyone else's ass and won the Community Challenge.

Operation Hastings, a remake of the 2004 Battlefield: Vietnam map, was initially the reward for 69,000,000 team actions in DICE's excellent Bad Company 2: Vietnam expansion. Now, it is yours as a special new year treat.

"Since we want to start this new year with a big of a bang as we ended it," says the Battlefield Blog, "we are enabling Operation Hastings for the PS3 and Xbox 360 as of today!"

So if you've had time to shake off that hangover - incidentally, I have not - then fire up those consoles and get your Vietnam on.

[Thanks Bryce]

  • Thats cool, the vietnam dlc is bad ass
  • Will be on this later today!
  • sweet, but does this mean bfbc2 players without vietnam can play the map? AND HOW DO YOU GET A PLAYER CARD I WANT ONE
  • Glad to hear this. But I can't help but wonder if the reason PS3 was so far behind was because of the stats not being tracked. Seems like most of the time none of my scores or weapon kills were being recorded.
  • Delicous Gift, but poor seeing how all the stat loss is going on, no doubt they are doing this to curry-favour with us, bastards.
  • Too bad... This idea of collective actions was pretty good, and perhaps it made a few player play more with others...
  • Cool thanks DICE
  • @4 @5 Even though the stats aren't showing in the games menus sometimes, they are still being recorded. Every once in a while the stats do show and they are what they should be, I'm not missing any stars on my weapons. The 360 has had the same problems with the stats not showing sometimes also btw.
  • Well The Whole Vietnam DLC Is Totally Fucked Up , What was Dice Thinking Holy Fuck Those Fuck Up Weapons, Maybe it´s Me Who´s Complaining But That DLC Is Fucked Up Like Hell . You Better can Give me a Gun WITH A SCOPE !!!
  • The DLC is messed up. I'm not keen on it. I mean it's a change from modern stuff but people will like it because it isn't WW2 and people will hate it because it isn't modern. I hate it because it isn't WW2 :P off topic but hey
  • @9 GTFO now... Go back to Black Flops already! ;) Seriously, perhaps you should look up a little history before making such a dumbass statement like that again! Happy New Year all! (Except #9) :D
  • @#4 PS3 was far behind because I assume Xbox 360 had more players, but I'm actually kinda surprised that PC won the challenge. I thought Xbox would be first, then PC and then PS3 not far behind.
  • WE NEED MORE ONLINE ONLY GAMES
  • @9 If you were any good you wouldn't need scopes, just the sites.
  • lol the scopes suck! end of discussion, how you deal with it is your bisness:P my stats are still on the fritz I hate that a lot more... but this is nice:D
  • If this works like what happened when Vietnam came out, it should be out around 9pm EST, considering i've seen no sign of it yet
  • Trust me, There is shit load's of people playing this on PC there is always ton's of full severs. but the map is alot of fun
  • That was mighty generous of them to unlock something we paid for. And since so many people (myself included) can't even play the game (forums are flooded with a bug that sends people back to the title screen with no explanation) I'd rather them get on helping me use the 16 dollar map pack I just paid for.
  • @11 Sorry But The Even Worsst Then BFBC2 Vietnam is Cod Black Cocks , No I Will Never Play That game in my Whole Life ! @14 It's my own decision if i use scopes or not. At the moment i'm playing Battlefield Bad Company 1 Multiplayer and all of these don't have scope's as well (Exept Sniper) But i never play as a Sniper Because the SV98 It Totally Fucked Up xD
  • Already played this stuff on PC :3
  • vietnam is more glitched than modern warfare 2 ever was, but hey i like the cloud glitch
  • I love BC2:Nam more than any other multiplayer shooter I've played. However, my disc seems messed up as I have loaded it twice and my screen has gone black and I've had to unplug my PS3 to turn it off. Also, I have had my game freeze on me a handful of times while in battle, but I was at least able to reset my PS3 instead of just unplugging it. Anyone else having issues? I'd hate my PS3 to bust over one game.
  • @9 quit moaning, look at what your getting into before you buy it, watch a video of the game and learn your history before you buy something
  • It's an EA game enough said :P
  • Ah, lamentations... Getting people in the habit of helping each other was delicious. Even Recon, who rarely spot for anyone (without their sensor mines, even).
  • @18: It's the same challenge that DICE did with BF:1943 and the Coral Sea map, so this shouldn't come as surprise...
  • Still cannot play online. Getting disconnected every 4 minutes into a game. This will never be fixed right?
