DICE have released further information on the infamous 'Harvest Day' map, returning from Battlefield: Bad Company in VIP Map Pack 7 (check out this article for more info on VIP Pack 7). Harvest Day was one of the biggest and most popular maps in the original game, and DICE are keen to please their community by bringing the map back to Bad Company 2 in a manner everyone will be sure to appreciate.
'Harvest Day 2.0', as it has been nicknamed by DICE, is soon to be releasing in their critically acclaimed first person shooter, Battlefield: Bad Company 2. As expected, the map has been graphically enhanced to take full advantage of the upgraded Frostbite 2.0 engine. The newer engine will allow players to take buildings down completely, unlike in the original title, where buildings remained standing regardless of the damage they had sustained. The redesigned map is heavily vehicle oriented, with heavy tanks, quads, and other vehicles present.
The redesigned map is available in all modes, but according to the designers, is mostly Conquest oriented. The map retains the same elements that made it so overwhelmingly popular in the past, though flag locations have been changed into a more 'diamond' shape, in order to make the most use of the available landscape. Harvest Day looks set to become extremely popular in Bad Company 2, despite being over two years old now. Quite how the map will play out with the new engine remains to be seen, but from the available screenshots DICE have published, it looks fantastic! Like all the preceding map packs, VIP Pack 7 is free on PC, and for VIP players on Xbox LIVE and the Playstation Network. Players who are not VIPs may purchase VIP access for their game from either the Xbox LIVE Marketplace, or the Playstation Network's Store. All you have to do is decide what map you're going to play on first!
