In an announcement that is sure to please Battlefield fans like myself who have been craving for new content, the next VIP Map Pack, VIP Map Pack 7, for Bad Company 2 will feature four entirely new maps, rather than the unlocked modes disguised as new maps that we have been “treated” to in the past.

Not all of them are completely new however: reworked versions of fan favourites Oasis and Harvest Day are making a return from the original Bad Company game.

Read on for full details.

VIP Map Pack 7 will contain the following maps free of charge:

Map 1: Oasis

Origin: Battlefield: Bad Company multiplayer

Game modes: Rush, Conquest, Squad Rush, Squad Deathmatch

Map 2: Harvest Day

Origin: Battlefield: Bad Company multiplayer

Game modes: Rush, Conquest, Squad Rush, Squad Deathmatch

Map 3: Cold War

Origin: Battlefield: Bad Company 2 singleplayer

Game modes: Rush, Squad Rush, Squad Deathmatch

Map 4: Heavy Metal

Origin: Battlefield: Bad Company 2 singleplayer

Game modes: Conquest, Squad Rush, Squad Deathmatch

A release date has yet to be announced, but the Battlefield Blog teased that Heavy Metal is set to be one of the largest multiplayer maps in the game. Also don’t forget that Battlefield Bad Company 2Vietnam is also scheduled for release by the end of the year – after eight months since its initial release, it seems that Battlefield players are finally being rewarded for their dedication.
