Vietnam games and movies often rely heavily on old chestnuts like "Paint It Black" or "Fortunate Son" to capture an era. One Vietnam game enlisted some dude from Sweden instead.

Battlefield: Bad Company 2 wanted to see a team spirit on its new Vietnam DLC package before unlocking a remastered Operation: Hastings map. PC players have answered the call first, passing the 69 million "team action" threshold required earlier today.

In its continued attempt to get you to play military shooters that aren't Call of Duty, publisher EA is building the hype for this winter's Battlefield: Bad Company 2 Vietnam expansion. It costs $US15. It has four multiplayer maps. And?
