    There's already been a topic on BF2 I think.

    I'm going to go shoot myself now, if you don't mind <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif' /><!--endemo-->

    I just noticed that Tribes 2 is hosted on fragfiles.....<span style='font-size:14pt;line-height:100%'><span style='color:red'><3</span></span>



    Anyways, to the topic - I've always been more or less turned off by battlefield 1942. Vietnam was a much more fun experience, as you had the feeling that you were a little more self-sufficient (or at least I did). Such things as defending the American embassy against the myriad NVA/VC invasions was incredibly fun <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif' /><!--endemo-->

    So I have high hopes for BF2 - I'm hoping they can make it the battlefield I've always dreamed of.

    Running Battlefield 1942 was a humbling experience for my top-notch (back then) computer.

    Playing Battlefield 1942 was a waste of 3 days I'll never get back.

    Buying another Battlefield is something I may never do again.

    100+ players? BF42 were both laggy and filled with asshats with only 32 players in a server. Now they want to do 100? They'll need some very solid netcode. Tribes2 does 64 players and doesn't even flinch, giving me a nice 60 ping.

    Well, I didn't get BF 42 until last week, and I'm lovin it. No lag, no asshats(on the special server I found), and great performance.

    If you're worried about lag and a<span style='color:sky'>s</span>shats, just play with bots. Then you can kill guys on your team who have names that are not to your liking.

    Hmm... didn't know they were shooting for a 100+ player limit. That'll be... interesting...

    The engine is looking really nice though. I hope this one turns out good. I really enjoyed BF:Vietnam, and I didn't really mean to stop playing it, its just that the SCPT Demo came along and then COH and well.. I haven't played it in like 2 months :o

    I just hope they keep the gameplay like Battlefield, and not turning it into a Desert Combat clone, cause I *HATE* desert combat... :/

    Cool new features!

    If it's $20 at release, I'll buy it. <!--emo&???--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/confused.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='confused.gif' /><!--endemo-->

    Commander Mode, New?
  • DOOManiacDOOManiac Worst. Critic. Ever. Join Date: 2002-04-17 Member: 462Members, NS1 Playtester
    Indeed, Commander mode is a concept straight from 1999 :P

    i hated bf 1942, sure having tanks and stuff was awsome, but other games had a better feel to them, if that makes any sence, like DOD, the guns felt cool, they had kick, cool sounds, and packed a punch, the animations seemed to be less... retarded

    i havnt tried vietnam, i hope it or battle field two has better sounds and no stupid guns alah bf 1942
  • LokeTheSleekPeruvianLokeTheSleekPeruvian Join Date: 2003-08-21 Member: 20054Members
    Like i said on another BF 2 posts, they should include other countries, like Bolivia and Burkina Faso.
