Bad Company assaulted by DLC, free weapons, update

IGN reports a veritable cornucopia of news regarding Battlefield: Bad Company. The leaderboards have been expanded to include 500,000 players (up from 50,000), which should give more gamers a chance to see their names up in lights. Also, two of the campaign levels -- Acta Non Verba and Par For The Course -- are being retooled for multiplayer and will be available in an upcoming map pack (no word on when it will release or how much it will cost). Along with the map pack, an update is being prepared that should fix server and Dog Tag lag. Finally, and perhaps most interesting, codes are being given out to unlock three of the five (somewhat controversial) weapons that were only available to those who took part in the game's launch promotions. To unlock the different weapons, simply enter the codes below in the unlock section in Bad Company.

Recon Kit - QBU88 - your3mynextt4rget
Special Ops Kit - UZI - cov3r1ngthecorn3r
Support Kit - M60 - try4ndrunf0rcov3r

The remaining weapons can still be unlocked by checking your stats on the Bad Company website and joining the EA Veteran's Program.

[Thanks, Patrick]

Great news, this is a great single and multiplayer game. Hopefully the maps will be free but who knows with EA. 400 points for 2 maps would probably be pretty reasonable especially if golf carts are involved!

If you check out all the news items from the Battlefield Bad Company Site, you can see all the news right from the source... http://badcompany.ea.com/

There will be four FREE maps for conquest mode coming sometime in the fall. Two were voted on by the community (Par for the Course, Acta Non Verba) and two are secret choices by DICE. Golf Carts FTW!

Also, the game lag has vastly improved since they upgraded the servers last week.

Only conquest mode, that kind of sucks... I like Gold Rush much better.

I agree Gold Rush is so much more fun for me. Conquest seems kind of boring. I am hoping they add Gold Rush to these maps after they do Conquest.

I really hope that the map pack is free, it'd be a pretty dick move to charge for maps that're ALREADY ON THE GAME DISC.
