I like the vanilla Bf1942 and the Desert Combat mod so i guess i´ll buy it when it comes out.

I dont like EA.
Also, it would be great if you could kill women and children and then you get a medal for it!

Heh, sorry. I just see no point in glorifying a sham of a "war". But i'll drop it <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->
Battlefield 1942, and it's ilk, have never appealed to me, not because of the "realism" and whatnot of them, but more the fact is that they sacrified gameplay for realism. Which in my opinion makes a pretty shoddy game.
But it looks quite nice actually, may give it a try since at least it's not another desert fps <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->
Wha?
You load up BF1942 and see how far it takes for a Mustang to get airborne. Now load up IL2 Sturmovic and see. It takes about five times the length in a real simulator.
I think they've stuck the perfect balance between realism and fun.

But thats me!
I'll be a very happy chappy if I can. Can't wait to try this mod.

Who isn't?
How are they going to balance both sides? US with helicopters and fighters vs. vietnamese ground troops? Though those helicopters sure didn't help US from withdrawing but I'm still confused how they are going to do it <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->

Unlike in Battlefield 1942, all the characters in the new game will be rendered with normal-mapping and bump-mapping, which makes them look considerably more detailed. If you manage to get close enough to a soldier, you can actually see seams on uniform pockets and belt buckles glistening in the sunlight. Treads on vehicle tires have a more discernible depth and texture as well. Perhaps more importantly, bare patches of ground are now enhanced with bump maps, as are wooden beams and floors inside of straw huts.<!--QuoteEnd--></td></tr></table><span class='postcolor'><!--QuoteEEnd-->
<!--QuoteBegin--></span><table border='0' align='center' width='95%' cellpadding='3' cellspacing='1'><tr><td><b>QUOTE</b> </td></tr><tr><td id='QUOTE'><!--QuoteEBegin-->While the two sides in Battlefield 1942 were basically carbon copies of one another (with some minor differences), the developers at Digital Illusions intend to make the US and North Vietnamese forces in Battlefield Vietnam differ in more-drastic ways. The US forces will rely more on air power, specifically helicopters. The demonstration match we witnessed between teams of EA testers included a lot of Huey helicopter gunships, some of which were armed with rocket pods, and others of which included a door-mounted machine gun. US Hueys are also able to lower a chain, which can be used to pick up a jeep or tank and transport it across the map. However, carrying a vehicle drastically changes the flight characteristics of a helicopter. We watched as one Huey pilot carelessly dropped a Sheridan tank at a bad angle, which caused the tank to roll into the river and killed the driver inside. Aside from the helicopters, the US will also get F-4 Phantom jets, which can drop napalm bombs. Napalm bombs explode in a huge fireball and create flames that last for several seconds.<!--QuoteEnd--></td></tr></table><span class='postcolor'><!--QuoteEEnd-->
