LOS ANGELES, Jun 14, 2010 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- DICE, an Electronic Arts Inc. (NASDAQ:ERTS) studio today announced the
first multiplayer Expansion Pack for the mega-hit Battlefield: Bad
Company 2 where gamers will find themselves in an entirely new
theatre of war - Vietnam. Fighting as either U.S. Marines or North
Vietnamese Army (NVA), the hostile combat terrain of the Vietnamese
jungle is brought dramatically to life via the Frostbite engine with a
host of authentic vehicles and weapons with which to engage the enemy.
The punishing jungles, powerful air invasions, and guerilla tactics of
an unpredictable enemy deliver non-stop action in this sandbox
environment, a signature design style of the award-winning Swedish
studio. With more than 5M units sold, Battlefield: Bad Company 2 has
been hailed as, "...a better game than Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2"
by Seth Schiesel of The New York Times.
The Battlefield: Bad Company 2 Vietnam digital expansion pack
takes all of the intensity, action and addictive gameplay of Battlefield:
Bad Company 2 and ups the ante with enhanced persistence, new
weapons, vehicles, unlocks, awards, achievements and trophies. Featuring
four new maps playable in classic Battlefield modes including
Conquest and Rush, Battlefield: Bad Company 2 Vietnam will be available
worldwide this winter for the Xbox 360(R) videogame and entertainment
system, PlayStation(R)3 computer entertainment system and PC. Price will
be announced at a later date.
Defined by its exceedingly intense vehicular warfare, destruction,
variety of weapons and huge sandbox environments, Battlefield: Bad
Company 2 is one of 2010's top selling action games. The game is
