How to get FREE Vietnam w/ multiplayer

Thank you for the positive feedback, hope it helps!

Works perfectly for me, Another free collectable. Thanks man.

but, can i stay playing it in steam? or i'll have to change to origin?

You can add the game as a non-steam game and launch it without origin, or when you contact EA (if you have to) they will give you a Vietnam CD Key, you can add that to the steam version after you start the game up. Either way works fine.

Great job, mate. Downloading the DD edition now through Origin. Will make sure EA will still give me a key.

Why didn't I buy through Steam =.=

Nah, it didn't work for me. They kept telling me to only buy from authorized resellers, stuff like that. But if anyone gets it to work, good job.

Guess I'll have to shell out 10 bucks. XD

lul works, i'm downloading now, and i didnt need to contact EA suport, \0/

When you contacted their live support did you have alot of categories to choose from? I chose the one that said Ingame issues or something, try that.
I told the man i bought the cd key from a friend and he gave me the veitnam CD key. Hope you can get it to work!

Yes, I was under BC2: Vietnam, Acount/Registration or something like that. I might be arsed to try again, though they have a record of my account already in live support. In all honesty, if I decide I want ti bad enough I'll buy it. I'm happy enough with BF3/Bc2 as it is.

I did want to use a flamethrower though. >

When i put to update occurs an error: "Data error, please verify that downloaded files are complete and correct"... Ok, i'll redownload it... Verify integrity of game cache, i miss u...

Hey, I registered just so I could say that this actually works!! Not even kidding. I'll tell you all what I did.

1. I already owned Bad Company 2 on steam, so I went to the link in the main post of here, and followed his instructions.
2. When all that done, I went to THIS site for the customer support. For the category, I chose Game Play/In-Game. Obviously platform was PC
3. I then waited 15 minutes (-.-) for a live chat, and when I finally got into it, this is what I said:

[SPOILER]
You are now ready to chat with Kuldeep.

Kuldeep:
Thanks for contacting EA Help! My name is Kuldeep how may I help you?

you:
Oh hello. Finally

you:
So yeah, I'm just having a few problems with the Vietnam expansion

Kuldeep:
Could you please elaborate the issue in detail ?

you:
I bought Bad Company 2 Digital Deluxe Edition off Origin, since it came with Vietnam. However, I wanted to add this to Steam, as I already owned Bad Company 2 a while ago on Steam, and most of my friends use Steam.

Kuldeep:
I sincerely apologize for the inconvenience you have experienced.

you:
But, when I loaded up Bad Company 2, and tried to go to Vietnam, it asks me for a code. I put in the code that Origin gave me, but it doesn't seem to work. It worked when registering the game, just not the expansion :S

Kuldeep:
To further look into your issue, could you please provide me the following details :
- Your first name and last name
- Your EA account(email-id )
- Date of birth (Listed on the account)
- BFBC-2 game code

you:
MY NAME (I gave him my real name, obviously)

you:
MY EMAIL (once again, actual details)

you:
26th May 1994

you:
And my product code is: XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Kuldeep:
Thank you for providing the information. I would appreciate if you could please stay online, while I work on your request.

you:
Really wish I could just be using them flamethrowers in Vietnam right now, but ah well. Thankyou for your help this far Kuldeep

Kuldeep:
You're welcome.

Kuldeep:
Thank you for your time and patience.

you:
That's perfectly okay

Kuldeep:
I am making a rare exception for you and providing you the new code. Here is the new BFBC-2 vietnam code : XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX.

you:
Oh wow, thank you so much Kuldeep. Would you hold on while I just activate it, just in case something else goes wrong?

Kuldeep:
Yes, sure please stay online and try to activate this code.

you:
Yay, it worked

you:
Thank you so much Kuldeep you were very helpful. You deserve a pay rise

Kuldeep:
Great ! I am glad to hear that your issue is resolved now.

Kuldeep:

Kuldeep:
Thank you for contacting EA. Is there anything else I can help you with today?

Kuldeep:
You're welcome.

you:

4. As I said to Kuldeep, I opened Bad Company 2 in steam, clicked the Vietnam tab and entered the code he gave me, and all worked fine it's just a shame not many people play Vietnam

But anyway, there you go. That's how I did it, and it definitely worked. I would suggest you say something similar to what I said. REMEMBER, sucking up helps, even if you dont like doing it. These guys aren't going to help you if you're a dick to them.

So there we go, use your charm and you can get Vietnam for free
