Back to 1942?

shinzon

Each to there own i suppose, i own both battlefield 1942 and vietnam, i can no longer play bf1942 online anymore since the 1.3 patch, seems to be more orientated towards broadband connections rather than 56k, especially desert combat

vietnam is easier to connect to and flying the helos does not feel like your dragging a box of hippos behind you when you taking off like in desert combat

Anyhoo thats my 2 cents cant play one can play the other so vietnam gets my vote for now, until BB connection again takes precedence in patches and I can no longer connect to vienam servers

In the same boat. Its one of the biggest reasons I prefere Vietnam.

lol i'm of the opposite opinion i hate the huge maps on bf as i'm more of an infantry man and feel that vietnam is definetly more geared towards this, i know the game is meant to be vehiclely based unlike CS say but i'm happier on foot and in infantry fights.

so i hated maps like galaza (sp?) and their ilk. only recently did i find my place in larger maps as a sniper thoguh my tank and fighter skills have improved i can't do anything with the helio's in dc.

Veitnam might be a infentry based game but untill they fix the whole M60/law issue and give the usa anti air weapons it will be either a usa rape fest or Nva rape fest

Its about as blanced as fox news tbh

I had 3-4 great games of Dc just there and im warming to it again its so blanced

The new patch 1.1 is going to change the M60/LAW kit to an M14/LAW kit - much better. Also, the M60's accuracy when fired standing or moving is going to be downgraded and upgraded when firing prone.

So wot will come out first; this patch, Doom3, or HalfLife2?

Seriously; this is taken a long time, so it'd better be good. Also, it'll hopefully be lower than 600MB.

Me thinks vietnam wont be supported very well and this patch will be notting but a quick fix.....I think we will have to wait till BF 2 for a truely great game

yeah i reckon they won't really do much and the patch will probably take a good while longer to come out.
