Anyone getting Battle Field: Vietnam ?

[Korky]

This game sux really though. So dissapointed, dont go in with hopes of it being anywhere near as gd as DC. The heli controls have been dumbed down so that they are practically uncrashable, which means they are sluggish and not nearly as manouverable. I know they are tryin to be realistic but just about EVERY plane and heli has one fire mode and its usually 2 rockets then 10 second wait. Some planes have heat seeking missiles, which means dog fights become 2 second affairs, ur dead as soon as another plane sees u and vice versa. The "jungles" are bare which means u still stand out like a sore thumb too passers by in the sky.

Anyway gd points, the soundtrack rox and em thats all thats gd.

so not worth getting then?

nope unfortunately, as you said it shouldnt have been a new game. Even "Line of Sight" beats this for vietman, jk Theres just nothing in it really. This could have been a free mod from makers of DC if they wanted to go for it.

[Bunjiweb]

well i bought it and it seems distincltly average.... probably going to take it back.

or you could just take it to GAME which will refund it within 10 days anyway, regardless of if its got a CD key

[Korky]

lol Bunji have to say it.. "I told you so"

How can this be better than DC lol.

[Bunjiweb]

its not better but its not unplayable, some cool features but still requires alot of oooomf from the cpu to make the AI any good

True, i quite like the swamps and the atmosphere - which all battlefield games have always produced. I have to admit, im still giving it a go for like 20 mins every few days just so ive played most of it.

also anyone still playing dc for this prolly wont be for much longer, well if u call much longer bout a year because i bet the next bf they make will be bf desert storm or gulf war or something along these lines focusing obviously on the first gulf war
or perhaps theyll make a faulklands war one?
any thoughts? Pete

I know the Desert Combat team are working on a new project with the developers for Vietnam, so they could well be making a battle field around the gulf war
