BF2S Forums Battlefield: Bad Company 2 Vietnam hands-on!

New to the game is the flame-thrower, although players of Call of Duty: World at War will know all about that. Devastating in confined spaces, but in the time we spent rushing through the maps, we didn’t really see it to be that effective. We think the rifle is probably the best option, combining accuracy and rate of fire.

That said, the maps have been designed to give you a variety of terrain. There are some sneaky tunnels through hills, napalmed villes, hills and bamboo forests to make your way through. One map where the flame-thrower does seem effective is the Cao Son Temple, where the flames can really help you clear people out of built-up areas.
