SPECACT kit upgrades
The SPECACT kit upgrades have arrived on PC! PC players can now change how their soldiers look on the battlefield with this additional downloadable content. With the 4 kit-specific unique uniforms and the camouflaged SPECACT personal M16A2, UMP-45, MG3 and a gun metal black M95 SNIPER, you have a visual edge on the Battlefield, showing that you’re a force to be reckoned with. Recruited strictly from other high-level Special Operations units such as Delta Force and Spetsnaz, the Special Activities groups – SPECACT – are the elite of the elite, used mainly for covert operations and other high-risk missions in areas where conventional troops cannot be used.

Your Battlefield account will be granted the SPECACT kit upgrade. No download or codes required. SPECACT kits will now be available from the kit selection screen after joining a server. *Please note that you must use the same email address as Your Battlefield account to ensure entitlement is delivered to the correct account.

New Battlefield Blog Post: Release Dates set for VIP Map Pack 7 and Battlefield: Bad Company 2 Vietnam

# BY: zh1nt0
# POSTED : Nov 30, 2010, 08:32AM

Trailer

You wanted release dates for VIP Map Pack 7 and Battlefield: Bad Company 2 Vietnam? Why didn't you just say so?

No, seriously -- VIP Map Pack 7 goes live tomorrow! This is your chance to relive the awesomeness of fan favorite map Oasis, plus three more maps never before available in Battlefield: Bad Company 2 multiplayer. For a complete rundown of everything VIP Map Pack 7, here are some posts we prepared earlier.

Also: December 21. Save the date. That is when Battlefield: Bad Company 2 Vietnam will launch (December 22 for PS3 in Europe). If you prefer your battlefielding on PC, you can get a three day headstart on EA Store and Steam, where it will be available on December 18. Need a reminder on why you should be excited? Here's our latest trailer. It has flame-throwers.

So. Who's on for some serious VIP 7 multiplayer action tomorrow?

Note that in order to play VIP Map Pack 7, you need to update your game with Multiplayer Update 3. This update should be pretty automatic and straight-forward, but if you want more info on it, head to this blog post. For more info on Battlefield: Bad Company 2, visit the Official Site.

SPECACT kit is fun for the re-skinned weapons and a chance to earn some more medals since I'm just about all platinumed out, but it offers a legitimate advantage not in the weapons, but in the skins - the SPECACT medic no longer has that blaring target of a red hat when you're on the Russian side :D

granted, some of them are easier to see in brighter/snow levels because the unis are darker and thus have more contrast with the environment and stand out, however you can select which class you want to play so a player could potentially pick the unis that go best for the map.

Is voice fixed?

I'm definitely not buying anymore BF games until voice is fixed. It almost ruins the game for me sometimes. I really miss that social aspect of BF2.

Not sure if it's for everyone, on our servers, only the Conquest Maps are currently available right now. Still waiting for the Rush Maps to be enabled. fwiw - we use branzone as our server host.

Haven't had a chance to jump in but so far, lots of positive comments from players about the new maps.

Update - Rush Servers now have the new maps!

Update your punkbuster.

I wish it were so easy, but it is fully updated.. Googling BFBC2 CTD brings up a ton of results. It seems it's not a hardware problem as people have tried everything and it happens to both AMD and Nvidia cards.

One suggestion I have found is that it does not like 64bit Windows.. So I'll install 32bit as another boot option and see how that goes.

I can turn all my graphical settings on Low and it does not seem to crash at all, but it just looks awful and just not acceptable for a GTX480!

Are you using the latest video drivers? I'm running Windows 7 64-bit with no issues.
