In Battlefield: Bad Company 2 Vietnam, gamers will find

powerful air invasions or close-quarter guerrilla tactics.
Battlefield: Bad Company 2 Vietnam takes all of the
intensity, action and addictive gameplay of the multi-million selling Battlefield:

achievements and trophies. Featuring five all-new maps playable in four
different modes including Conquest, Rush, Squad Deathmatch and Squad
Rush, Battlefield: Bad Company 2 Vietnam will
continue to deliver exceedingly intense vehicular warfare, destruction
and squad play.
The fifth map, Operation Hastings, will be unlocked as part of a
worldwide community challenge, where players will work together to reach
69 million team actions on each respective community — Xbox 360®

system and PC. The challenge begins on December 21.
