New Bad Company Maps Pencilled in for Autumn

New Bad Company Maps Pencilled in for Autumn
Written Friday, August 29, 2008 by Dan Webb

EA have just sent word out that DICE will be adding 4 new multiplayer maps to Bad Company this coming autumn.

The first two of which are pre-selected by DICE and will be added to the new Conquest mode taking the map count for that mode up to 6.

The other two will actually be brand new maps that you can vote for over on the Bad Company website (http://www.battlefield.com/badcompany). These two maps will be created from memorable sections from within the single player campaign, so if you want to tee off with your friends with a few tanks and rocket launchers on the golf course that featured in the single player mission, Par For the Course, then go ahead and vote for it.

The two maps with the most votes come September 2nd will feature in the upcoming update.

Oh, did I mention this update was free? Touché EA, touché indeed.

EA is finally starting to realize that it is a non-customer friendly company. This is a start ...

Are the pre-selected maps already made like... Over and Out, and Deconstruction. Or are they just 2 brand new maps going into Conquest.

This is awesome though =]

Hopefully with these maps they'll update that last glitched wildcard patch

Par for the Course will be fun. Since Par for the Course, already had the most votes, and already looks to be the winner. i voted for my second favorite map... "Welcome to Bad Company. I wouldn't mind Ghost Town, or Acta Non Verba. NOT Crash and Grab because the map "Over and Out" is already a remake of it. "Deconstruction" also looks a lil like Ghost Town, even though Deconstruction is sweet!
Thats all i gotta say =]

Do you think EA know that everyone hates them and think they're complete w*nkers and so are trying to sweeten us all up with free stuff every now and again??

I'm not complaining of course though!

Free. Good. Time of release... bad, way too many games to buy and play. And with school, I wish I had a clone :(

oh so there are people that still work on this game?

Would be awesome if EA would stop releasing games that are impossible to get 1000/1000 achievement points....

I just wonder why they didn't add an extra 250g to it.
I bet then there will be a heavy increase in players.

wtf no achievements?! not getting...all jokes a side, free stuff is good! Way to go EA! On a side note, if the golf course map gets in (in which it probobly will), pack in an achievement that requires you to run over someone with the golf cart :D for the lulz

@#14 Going by that logic nobody should ever play any game for fun.

One of the reasons I didnt buy the game is that EA makes you pay another 10 euros for 6 additional weapons. Now that they are releasing all this free studd I hope it was the last time they pulled a stunt like this weapon shit. They might even be able to save their reputation (though that would need A LOT MORE FREE STUFF AND GOOD GAMES AND SERVERS for a change)

i would have loved to buy this game, but it seemed kinda pointless to me since i got Call of Duty 4, but the videos of Bad Company are funny as shit

#25 you know if you reach lvl25 it unlocks those 5 addition weapons you were talking about?

#26 This game is a great release from COD 4. There's a lot of cool new stuff like vehicles and the sound in Battlefield is the best in a video game ever. put down COD and pick this game up!

Downloadable content - achievements or no achievements - will you buy it with or without them?
If the content is good, or for a game I love, I'll buy it regardless of whether chievos are included
I'll still buy and play the downloadable content, but achievements would be nice.
Who the hell cares!?
No achievements, no sale ... and that goes for any game ... whether you're GTA or Halo!
Just stop with the DLC achievements full stop ... you're ruining my completion percentage dammit!
