<div class="IPBDescription">Should I Or Shouldn't I?</div> I'm tempted to go buy Battlefield Vietnam and add
to my engrowing debt. <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif' /><!--endemo-->
Can you peep's provide some insight as to weather
its worth the ?30 or not? I'm mainly after info regarding
Single-Player life-span, multi-player life-span, alittle
patch info (is there 10+ 40 meg+ patches to download before
I can play it?)


Etc etc <the usual questions here>

Thanks

    My friend hates it. Other people like it. It comes down to if you liked Battlefield 1942, because I heard it's pretty similar.

    Single-Player: Uh what Singleplayer?

    Multi-Player: Fine if you like the whole experience personally I'd go and play it down a LAN arena before you make any judgements

    Patches: Only one so far and it isn't that big. Next big patch will contain new levels and vehicles though so it may be a little larger.

    I bought it.

    But due to the fact that the only computer connected to the internet only has 384MB ram and a crappy vid card, i wasn't even going to try running it online.

    So i still haven't played it online, i've only played with bots.
    (with only 2.0GHz of processor, it lags like a mofo)

    I Still prefferred BF1942
    And WWII > 'Nam

    have you played BF:1942? It's basically the same game with different weapons, choppers and a few new goodies. If you don't have 1942 try it out, otherwise don't bother.

    As for single player: where 1942 had this little campaign job slapped on (just the maps put in some specific order) this only has the single player mode where you choose a map and have fun killing bots. And they're stupider than ever so that didn't change. It's of course mostly a multiplayer experience.

    Yeah, but with bots you can shoot people who wanna steal your stuff.

    If you've ever played BF1942, but never owned it, go for it.

    I played BF1942 and mods at a friend's house and the local LAN center and loved it, but never actually owned the game. So this sort of gameplay is still semi-fresh to me and I certainly enjoy it.

    I've had it since maybe a week after release and the multiplayer is still fun to me.

    I love BFV. It is the most played gamr in my arsenal of games ATM. I absolutly love it.

    It is much different from BF1942. It invloves gurilla warfarw. You hide in the shrubery and ambush people.

    The helicopter flight system kicks arse.

    There is only 1 patch that you would need which is the 1.01 patch. It's 17 megish.

    I love this game and can't get enough. Whoever said that a 2ghz comp lags SP with bots... yea, I can run 64 bots fine on 1.7 ghx.

    I wouldn't suggest in unless you have at least 512 megs of ram tho.

    just live in paranoia and kill every single friendly you can before getting booted off the server <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif' /><!--endemo-->

    Played the game for about 30 minutes and uninstalled it. It doesn't work with my video card (r9800pro)

    And if you're expecting jungle warfare, don't. The shurbbery can be turned off, rendering your cover useless. It's a lot like BF1942 where vehicles take center stage.

    Meh.

    I absolutely love Battlefield Vietnam. Then again I loved BF1942 as well. Two of the top multiplayer games I've ever played. They are just really good. That's my opinion anyway.

    Disable AA and AF. I hope they fix that issue soon enough. Fun game by the way.

    ROFL... I wonder how the barrel of the gun tasted to that game when it pulled the trigger to end it's usefulness.

    Other then the helecopters and weapons... the "Jungle warfare" was the only thing DIFFERENT about BF:1942, which can be turned off.

    My sympathies to current owners. <!--emo&:(--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/sad.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='sad.gif' /><!--endemo-->
