So simply taking our latest engine back to Vietnam automatically means we get closer to our vision of all-out warfare. From a purely technical standpoint, our upgraded Frostbite engine handles destruction on a whole new level compared to the engine we used for Battlefield 1942. Well, a lot has happened in the Battlefield franchise since 2004, both gameplay wise and technically speaking. For example, you can listen to (and blow up) propaganda speakers, and you can enjoy ‘60s music on the radio in your vehicles – the latter being one of the features that really brings a unique feeling to this expansion.Īre there things you wanted to achieve with the original Vietnam game that you couldn’t do due to technical limitations that you can do now? How much inspiration are you taking from Battlefield Vietnam in terms of the game design for the expansion?Ī lot of the elements that gamers loved in the original Vietnam game are implemented here as well. This is Battlefield: Bad Company 2 gameplay in our Frostbite engine that goes to Vietnam on brand new maps. Also, I want to point out that this is not a remake of the old game that came out six years ago.
We think it makes for a really strong package. The instant you mention the Vietnam War, everyone gets these images: whether it's the jungles, the classic vehicles from the era, or even the ‘60s music. Secondly, I think the Vietnam setting stirs something in people. We have also received a lot of requests from the community to go back to Vietnam. Many of our developers who worked on that game still have merchandise lying around constantly reminding us that the game has such a strong history within DICE. What compelled DICE to return to Vietnam rather than visiting a new environment?įirstly, we have a legacy with the original Battlefield: Vietnam from 2004, and we wanted to build on that. We asked DICE executive producer Patrick Bach to shed more light on the highly anticipated addition to one of the best shooters of the year. The Battlefield: Bad Company 2 Vietnam expansion is scheduled to drop this winter, but we still have several questions about the franchise's return to Southeast Asia.
