Atacama Desert - rush

Port Valdez - conquest

from the patch? or just released?

At 15:50 (GMT+2) I flipped the switch for all the game clients. The RSPs are gradually enabling the map pack on game servers.


It includes the following two levels:

Atacama Desert, Rush (code name "levels/mp_005gr")
Port Valdez, Conquest (code name "levels/mp_012cq")


If you are a player

There are already some servers up & running the new maps. Go look for them in the server browser!
The search filters in your game client will be updated if you restart BFBC2.


If you are a server administrator

The maps are available to your server once your RSP has performed a configuration change [essentially: added a commandline option].
After that the server needs to be rebooted. Then server will recognize the new maps in maplist.txt.

With this decision from Dice of releasing the expansion bc2 Vietnam it seems they won't be working on new maps for Bc2. The expansion will be cheap and most likely no work will be put into bc2, maybe with this expansion Vietnam will be a great game considering if Dice learn from bc2's mistakes

PLayed a little of valdez conquest yesterday and wasn't impressed at all. I couldn't leave the A checkpoint as two tanks and a heli just held the bottle neck all round. Way too fucking linear for conquest.
