Battlefield Vietnam: Get Ready
<div class="IPBDescription">Fragfiles previews the next...</div> World War 2 may be over, but get ready to head back into the action with EA Games and Dice’s sequel to their earlier hit, Battlefield 1942. Battlefield 1942 featured some great squad based combat backed up with the ability to use almost any type of war machine imaginable.

1 hour download to recieve a Corrupt install file, sweet.
I still remember you raving about BF:V.
In my rant against satans developers (EA) I casually mentioned that EoD can forfill all your VC needs, and you went: Eve of Destruction? Wth is that!
The rest as they say, is history <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif' /><!--endemo-->
And whats with the BF42 love here. BF42 bit wang, and there isnt a man, woman or child here who doesnt know it. Twas the first ever game I actually splashed cash out on, and was a horrific disappointment. Netcode from hell and infantry combat that made Duke Nukem 2d style combat more attractive.
Cookie cutter guns, half of them without even a different model or skin, grenades hurting tanks, the list of garbage goes on.... And then EA's "we dont need no stinking SDK" terrific support of mods (the last hope for the worst ever ww2 sim). Arrrgghhhh
That's like saying UT2004 will be dumb cause it uses the same engine as UT2003. Its not the same EXACT engine, there have been some major overhauls. It looks great graphically, it has better physics, etc. The BF1942 netcode, which admittedly is the only technical bad spot w/ the engine, is a LOT better now than when the game was released 2 years ago, and its supposed to be even better w/ BF:Vietnam.
Apparently you're in the minority if you can't get the engine working on your system. BF1942 was one of those games that when it came out it really taxed even cutting edge systems, but nowadays if you're running anything modern you won't have any troubles. And if you can't get BF1942 to run on your system, then you can forget about HL2, DOOM 3, Stalker, Splinter Cell: Pandora Tommorrow, etc.
And <a href='http://www.gamespy.com/stats/' target='_blank'>look at the numbers</a>. BF1942 is in second place next to Half-Life. UT2004 demo is down in #6, and its only that high because its free. Retail UT2003 is in 13th place.
So to call BF1942 a failure is a bit silly.
But yeah, BF42 has always been a success. While the netcode could've been better at release, now its near flawless(even the old demo for secret weapons is lag-free, litterally).

Seconded.
Anyway, I'm considering buying BF1942, I have the right amount of money stowed away and I love the stunts they pull with the vehicles almost as much as the actual game, however with Vietnam coming out so soon... Should I wait and buy that instead?
Mainly because I <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/style_images/TSA_Skin-975/icon12.gif' border='0' alt='user posted image' /> Hueys.
Nope. Just like UT2k4, they're supposed to just have to recompile everything.

I thought they changed that w/ UT2004, that they are now no longer backwards compatible w/ UT2003 mods?
To the bf1942 bashers, I'll admit that vanilla bf1942 isn't the greatest thing since sliced bread (it's still quite good mind you). Seriously though, try Desert Combat. It's really, really good. It's the kind of mod that makes you want to own the original game legit so you can play online. Sort of like Half Life in that respect; playing standard HL multiplayer is so-so, but the mods are where real gameplay is <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif' /><!--endemo-->
Realistic? Yeah right. The T-72 and M1A2 are identical, as are RPG-7 and SMAW. In fact, the vehicles and weapons on both sides are balanced, which is exactly the opposite of realism when you're pitting the Iraqis vs the Americans during the Gulf War. And god forbid that the helicopters need a little skill and practice to use properly; I mean there's nothing like that in NS, except of course the Lerk, Fade, Skulk, jetpack and commander. I can fly the choppers in DC with no problem and it only took me around 10 hours to do. I've been playing NS for well over a year and I still can't command well.
it is on the same angine.. with a complete overhaul...
it will look alot prettier. <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif' /><!--endemo-->
It's not realistic, since when were 2 bases that close to each other?
What fun if the entire game is based on helos <!--emo&???--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/confused.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='confused.gif' /><!--endemo-->
