Battlefield Bad Company 2 expands into Vietnam with new Downloadable content.

This DLC will enable players to visit Vietnam as either a Marine on the US side or Vietnamese solider. In name this mirrors a Battlefield Vietnam PC release from the original series, but we expect the similarity ends there.

The change of location takes things into more jungle focused terrain, although the destructable environment, a centre piece of the series, is expected to continue. The weapons of the era also offer a different feel and the possibility of asymmetrical combat between the US and Vietnamese forces.

With a winter release for this expansion it is hard to ignore EA's timing, which coincides with Activision's Call of Duty: Black Ops.
