Notes from a user on Steam who got it from the dev IRC chat.

- there will be hardcore mode
- all modes are available for all maps
- Recon has mortar strikes
- your points count towards BC2 rank
- you can replenish the flamethrower with the ammo box
- no AA guns, but RPG and stationary weapons do heavy damage to choppers
- M16 is full auto
- all specializations will count, except 2 modern ones (not specified in the chat, but should be obvious)
- no Vietnam weapons in BC2
- "The huey is a mix of transport and attack helicopter behavior in BC2. It is light and agile and easy to fly but takes longer time to master!"
- will be download only right now (not on CD)
- The flamethrower on the tank replaces the coax gun addon in BC2
- flames won't hurt the tank (derp)
- new achievements
- in vehicles, you can change the radio
- knife has been tweaked to be faster (also in BC2)
- tuc tuc carries 3
- flamethrower range is about 15 meters
- "all weapons in Vietnam have unique tweaks compared to BC2."
- snipers: There will be 3 different rifles, and they will be either semi-automatic or bolt action
- snipers: will be able to use both the TNT and Mortar at the same time
- There is a classic US Vietnam river boat with 1 dual MG in the front and MG in the back
- if you're playing music in a vehicle, enemies can hear it (sweet!)
- there will be parachutes
- 5 in the huey; you have the main weapon for the pilot which are rockets. 2 side mounted guns as well.
- re-spawning times are slighter shorter than BC2.
- "We have several sound designers here. On Vietnam, we had three. One working with voices, one with ambience and one with sound effects and music."
- in rush, you're destroying radio communication centrals instead of M-COMs.
- there are foxholes and tunnels dug under the ground

IGN's short review of the expansion.

So, yeah, I'm stoked. :)

Also, dibs on the flame tank, and don't touch that radio, either. >_>
