Much like they did with Bad Company 2, DICE is once again holding one of those nifty community challenges to unlock part of the game.  This time around they are looking for 69 Million combined Team Actions to unlock the Operation Hastings map, and there is no better way to fan the flames of fanboy wars other than to put up trackers for the three platforms (Xbox 360, PS3, PC) and see who will get it first.

As of this writing, PC is currently in the lead with 8.5 million, second place is Xbox 360 with 5.9 million (of which a large part is me frantically trying to heal my squad mates at the choke points on Cao Son Temple) and PS3 is currently trailing last with 3.4 million.  Proving once again that even with a lack of titles, PC gaming is far from dead.

If Bad Company 2's challenge was any indication, I would say that Operation Hasting will be unlocked just after Christmas.

    At first I was afraid Vietnam was going to be just a re-skin for Bad Company but I was honestly surprised by the balance they created by not shoving in an ass ton of guns and perks. The M60 is still an overpowered death machine but ultimately the maps this time around feel much more satisfying and being able to actually shoot dudes out of helicopters and boats while still keeping said vehicles sufficiently effective in the right hands. I cant see myself wanting to play the Bad Company base game anymore and to be honest the expansion reminds of just how much I love FPS games that don't take place in the modern day. By the way us PC gamers are totally going to beat everyone to the new map. =P

    Yeah, without a doubt the PC community will win unless the 360 folk get out of their silly blops fetish and play more of this much more deserving game.

    not sure how i fell about vietnam expansion. Some parts I love but others I hate soo badly. I find myself jumping back to the regular BC2 sometimes. Iono the color/graphics for vietnam kinda hurt my eyes. You know it definitely doesnt look like the jungle maps in the original game, like panama canal.
