To Any Battlefield: Vietnam Players...
I'm currently (okay, not right now, waiting for them to get this damn patch out the door, and they're taking their sweet time about it) working on a mod for BF:V. Not a crappy mod like Desert Combat, but simply expanding the selection and multitude of strategies to the game, and rebalancing everything that EA / DICE will completely overlook.
Basically I was wondering if there was anything in this game you'd like to see added / changed.
Some things that are in development / completed:
- Bouncing Betty is now a very lethal, effective weapon.
- Deployables will sit around for a lot longer, not dissapear after two minutes.
- Added the Signal Smoke Grenade to the US Assault class. When used, the signal smoke spews an orange column of smoke straight up, allowing troops to quickly indicate important areas, landing zones, or designate airstrikes. The Vietcong have been given the Flare Gun that functions much the same way, but uses a bright flare and thick black smoke instead.
- Mounted M60s are more accurate, removed overheating.
- Napalm is now very deadly. Should have a much more concentrated 'burn'. Looks nicer like this too.
- Phantom only carries two bombs. Considering napalm is gonna be scarier then hell now...
- Helicopters have had armor reduced.
- Knife has had a slight range increase so you don't have to be giving the guy a prostate exam to hit him with it. Should make stabbing prone soldiers easier.
- All classes have had speed penalties / benefits. This will force the US team to rely more heavily on vehicular transport, and give the Vietcong a foot advantage, allowing them to quickly pull back, or infiltrate to plant boobytraps. This SHOULD make the two teams even more unique.
- Boats can take one hell of a beating now, to encourage their use.
- Weapons will more closely resemble their real-life counterparts. There is no such thing as a Type-56 that resembles whatever it is in real-game. The M-14 has 20 bullets now, but is less accurate. Etc. etc.
- Maps will eventually be changed so they're less suck, and cappoints will take a long time to capture, not just 20 seconds.
- Going to give specops classes smoke grenades as well, because they're never used.
- Smoke grenade will actually obscure vision now!

Because if they are in the next patch BF:V is gonna get a lot sweeter!
That and BF:V needs a few more rockets for the SA-7
The problem is theres already an assload of "Balance and realism" mods about so you will need to do something thats makes you mod better than the rest.
if you need dedicated servers for it gimme a buzz... <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif' /><!--endemo-->
