Just in from Medal of Honor Blog Feed The Mission Ends, Training Begins Jump into this final installment of Medal of Honor's Military Monday. It's a good one. This is the final military Monday article that myself and members of Off Duty Gamers are providing for Medal of Honor as it is time for the OPTEMPO to slow and training to begin for the next operation. Traditionally the military runs in cycles, where the active phase is followed by downtime and maintenance and then into a training phase and ultimately back to active once again. We find ourselves coming off the downtime and its now back to training for the next mission. There's a lot of training to do and plenty of places to train. Battlefield Bad Company 2: Vietnam is going to let us look back on a very hard chapter in American military history. Through its grit and burned jungles we'll honor those who fought a war with the enemy, themselves and even those at home. We will trip into the future military soon with Crysis 2 where we'll see where the limits of imagination meet todays prototypes and concepts. We can see Battlefield 3 off in the distance and while its details are not yet known, there's a fair bit of history in itself to build upon. There's even talk that the future of Medal of Honor will take us to [REDACTED FOR OPERATIONAL SECURITY]. It seems no matter where we look, the fingerprint of military service is all over the gaming industry. Over the last few months we've offered opinions, tactics, details and stories that we hope you've enjoyed. The comments from readers have been interesting as the twists and turns of the development of a game changed the point of view and attitudes of those around us. Our goal at all times though has been to honor military service, respect those who have and are doing the job of keeping us safe and maybe even get a laugh or two out of those around us. If we made you argue, debate and think then we've done our job because just as the military is active, so are its stories and its not always about agreements or being a mindless drone. This military is a thinking military that knows when the debate ends and the actions as a unit begin. The Medal of Honor franchise has always held itself to the standard of 'what would the servicemen think'. This is the core of how I see the role that we military gamers must play. To always hold this franchise and any other that would seek to invoke the names of our hallowed battles, our branches of service or those we've lost is in the best keeping of the military and is our job to protect. It has been an honor for us to have been asked to speak on the behalf of the military community. We salute those who have served, are serving or are hearing the call to do something greater than yourself. To you, we owe our gratitude and eternal thanks.

Just in from EA's Battlefield Blog DICE devs answer your questions on Battlefield: Bad Company 2 Vietnam http://blogs.battlefield.ea.com/resized-image.ashx/__size/550x0/__key/CommunityServer.Blogs.Components.WeblogFiles/battlefield_5F00_bad_5F00_company/dev-chat.jpg Wow, what an evening! On December 15th, we invited all of our fans to join a live chat about Battlefield: Bad Company 2 Vietnam with the dev team here at DICE. The event started at 21 CET on EA.COM and went on for 90 minutes (we stayed half an hour over time to answer as many of your questions as possible). We would like to thank everyone who took their time to ask us questions and check out what we had to say about our new expansion pack. We had almost 8,000 visitors asking over 10,000 questions in those 90 minutes! For those of you who couldn't make it, below is a short summary of some of the most frequently asked questions and answers. The cast DICEfigge = Niklas Fegraeus, Lead Designer DICE_cmd = Gustav Halling, Gameplay Designer DICEzh1nt0 = Daniel Matros, Global Community Manager DICEKleanupguy = Björn Johnsson, Producer 8,000 fans = You! D-LordD-Lord : Will the hardcore mode stay for Vietnam? DICEfigge: Yes, there will be hardcore mode available. MasonMason: Are Vietnam maps available for all modes, including Squad DM? DICEfigge: Yes, all modes are available on all maps! ChargerCarl: Will Vietnam stats show up under BC2 or as a separate game? DICEfigge: Everything you score in Vietnam will count towards your normal progression, so you will still get your ranks and unlocks, regardless if you play vanilla or Vietnam. MattMatt: Can the flamethrower be reloaded with the ammo, or do you have to die to get if full again? DICE_cmd: Yes, the flamethrower replenishes your ammo while standing next to an ammo box. Derozero: Do you still have magnum ammo and body armor specs? DICEfigge: You will be able to use all specializations you have unlocked, with the exception of those too modern to have an equivalent in the Vietnam era (which is only two) [that would be motion sensor and spotting scope -- Editor's note]. daniel44: how big are the maps compared to the now available? DICE_cmd: The maps have the same size mix as BC2, but since it's in Vietnam there is more forest and trenches to hide in that promotes infantry fighting! dariuszek: Is knife killing in Vietnam the same as in Bad Company 2? DICE_cmd: Yes it is, but we have actually tweaked knifing in both BC2 and Vietnam to get a quicker response in both games! MAC MAC: why is there no possibility to hang a tank onto a helicopter? DICEzh1nt0: Because that feature wasn't used a lot in the original Vietnam so we removed it to fit in other cool things in the game. Shmil Shmi: Will the recon class get anything to replace motion mines? DICEfigge: Yes, they'll be able to use both the TNT and mortar at the same time. Nick930930: Can you still spot enemies for the rest of your team by pressing "Select"? DICE_cmd: Spotting mechanics are the same as in BC2. Kenny Kenny: Did you guys tweak the Thompson and M1 at all or will it handle exactly like BFBC2? DICE_cmd: All weapons in Vietnam have unique tweaks compared to BC2. Bach: Will there be any cows in the game? DICE_Kleanupguy: We care for all animals here at Dice. We would never put an animal in such a dangerous enviroment. Josh: What weapons on Huey? DICE_zh1nt0: You have the main weapon for the pilot which are rockets. 2 side mounted guns as well. Jayross: In Vietnam Rush, what are we destroying? Not M-coms, I bet. DICE_cmd: You are destroying the radio communication centrals. That's it for now. We loved having you over and will definitely try and take the time to meet you again like this in the future. Sorry if your question never came up in the chat. 10,000 is a big number, even for a bunch of devs equipped with pizza and cola! // www.twitter.com/OfficialBFBC2 // www.twitter.com/zh1nt0 For more info on Battlefield: Bad Company 2, visit the Official Site. http://blogs.battlefield.ea.com/aggbug.aspx?PostID=35975 More...
