EA polls gamers on Bad Company maps

Like a bit of Bad Company? We certainly did when EA DICE's hard-boiled FPS blasted onto our XMBs in June. Thirsty for more? Well, how'd you like to tackle one of those gorgeously destructible single player maps in online Conquest Mode?

Electronic Arts is letting eager Battlefielders choose two campaign levels for the full-on multiplayer treatment. Among the standouts are "Acta Non Verba," a heavily forested mountain area which should suit covert types, and "Par for the course," a picturesque battle zone bizarrely situated in the middle of a golf course. Once the votes have been collected, DICE will throw in two levels of its own choosing and the whole bag will be made available for download.

Head on over to the official site to cast your vote. The poll closes tomorrow, so don't dawdle.

    How about patching the thing first so it works properly. Headset,squads, game freezing and locking the machine. It is no good offering downloads unless the basics work.

    yea they need to fix the mics. Oasis map is the only one that's awesome out of all

    Obviously EA/Dice isn't even going to fix the stupid mic problem, along with the glitches.  No point in supporting a company that can't even fix there own screw ups.  New maps sound good but if I can't communicate, then there really isn't a point.

    didn't like gold rush as a concept ... seemed a bit cheesy.  Shame because the DICE engine (which is also implemented for Mirror's Edge) seems pretty good.  There should have been more thought put into level design.  Often spent too long wandering.  Prefer the fast paced action of warhawk.

    i love bad company, shure gold rush was the most terrible game mode to come 2 the gaming industry but heII, conquest has always been AMAZING in the previous battlefield games. and dont worry ps3forums says theres a patch coming in soon to fix it all up.  EA are known for being masters of lag so i wasnt surprized that a mic problem was also in the mix, so before you buy a game created by EA then remember there will be a big chance of lag and possibly mic problems as well.

    i dont kno y your all complaining abou the mics wen its bleedingly obvious that the grenade/rocket launcher is the biggest problem with the game... im pretty sure that a direct grenade launcher hit would kill most ppl, and theres no splash damage to speak of

    {Snowspader} ---- ur right about that,  its ridiculous how  ineffective the grenade launcher is, but other then that i love the game as far as the multiplayer. but can you imagine having the golf course level online!!!!???? come on people that level is amazing

    A lot of people with myself including bought this game, it's not even close to finish.  They took so much out that BF2 had it's completely stupid.  BF2, the smaller tanks were able to float in water.  In BF:BC they can't float in water, the mini tank is useless.  The shotgun is extremely overpowered, the weapons are all unbalanced for this game, and like I said before the mics don't work.  Sometimes your screen goes completely black (glitch), the game also freezes (glitch).  This game has so many problems, I am surprised people put up with crap like this that EA puts out.  It's no wonder why they make crappy games, people put up with it.

    I didnt buy this game A. Because EA have something to do with it and B. no sodding multiplayer splitscreen. FOR THE LAST TIME DONT MAKE GAMES WITHOUT SPLITSCREEN some of us have REAL friends.

    i voted for par for the course. i dont know why people have such a prob with this game its really fun. my only beef is when it freezes online. its quite easy to use the squad invite system, works 100% of the time for me. sounds like half the people b**ching dont even have this game. and if you do have it add me so i can have your dog tag. lol
