Notes from a user on Steam who got it from the dev IRC chat.
IGN's short review of the expansion.
So, yeah, I'm stoked.
Also, dibs on the flame tank, and don't touch that radio, either. >_>
- there will be hardcore mode
- all modes are available for all maps
- Recon has mortar strikes
- your points count towards BC2 rank
- you can replenish the flamethrower with the ammo box
- no AA guns, but RPG and stationary weapons do heavy damage to choppers
- M16 is full auto
- all specializations will count, except 2 modern ones (not specified in the chat, but should be obvious)
- no Vietnam weapons in BC2
- "The huey is a mix of transport and attack helicopter behavior in BC2. It is light and agile and easy to fly but takes longer time to master!"
- will be download only right now (not on CD)
- The flamethrower on the tank replaces the coax gun addon in BC2
- flames won't hurt the tank (derp)
- new achievements
- in vehicles, you can change the radio
- knife has been tweaked to be faster (also in BC2)
- tuc tuc carries 3
- flamethrower range is about 15 meters
- "all weapons in Vietnam have unique tweaks compared to BC2."
- snipers: There will be 3 different rifles, and they will be either semi-automatic or bolt action
- snipers: will be able to use both the TNT and Mortar at the same time
- There is a classic US Vietnam river boat with 1 dual MG in the front and MG in the back
- if you're playing music in a vehicle, enemies can hear it (sweet!)
- there will be parachutes
- 5 in the huey; you have the main weapon for the pilot which are rockets. 2 side mounted guns as well.
- re-spawning times are slighter shorter than BC2.
- "We have several sound designers here. On Vietnam, we had three. One working with voices, one with ambience and one with sound effects and music."
- in rush, you're destroying radio communication centrals instead of M-COMs.
- there are foxholes and tunnels dug under the ground
