It's supposed to be like that it's NOT vanilla it doesn't take 2-3 hits with a sniper rifle to kill someone
If its not vanilla then sniper rifles should be limited, or a lot harder to use. I mean no disrespect, but i dont see how sniper-kits-for-all makes sense when they are this powerful.
The mod is by far the best I've played so far. I've tried:
DCON
EoD
PR
While DCON brings back the DC fun, it brings nothing new. I give the dev team credit for the replicas of the old maps, but I haven't seen any new content with the exception of one map, and a modded Masturr. The sounds are, well, pretty lame, and the game is poorly optimized.
PR is a pretty amazing mod, but it turned an arcade game into a simulator. If it were more arcade based, the mod would be fantastic. The sound are great, the atmosphere is amazing, especially when cobras and A10s fly by. BUT, the spawn times are incredibly long, the whole kit request thing is annoying and rather stupid IMHO.
EoD2 however pretty much got it right. The sound is purely amazing. The foliage is extremely detailed, the battles are intense and it brings NEW CONTENT to the game. There's only one thing I noticed they ported over, and that was the sound of the tank firing. Everything else is pretty much new content. My hats off to the dev team. They did a hell of a job.
However, I do have a gripe. While the infantry battles are NICE, I believe there was only ONE map with the Huey in it! Hell, I can't even find the Cobra. I also only saw one map with a tank in it! Basically, my only gripe is a lack of vehicles and good vehicle battles.
Other than that - AMAZING mod!
It seems BSS contains a pretty talented team! EoD is amazing, PR is decent, and I'm hoping and praying that USI will follow suit!
PR is amazing, i think the whole long spawn time is a good idea it forces people to work together, since if you die a medic can quickly fix you up again.
the spawn kit requesting is a good idea since it stops people going 'lone wolf' and spamming the sniper kit, since theres only about 2 or 3.
I loved EoD2 i think it comes second next to PR. But the thing that turned me off was the fact that no one worked together. Every one just spammed the Support kit or sniper and went it alone.
I loved the maps especially the We Were Soliers remake. Since it is the first release i know that you have quite alot of work to do. But IMO i think that you really need to emphisise Team Work alot more. And maybe Use something like PR's AAS system whereby you dont just run around cap this flg then move on cap that flag sort of feel. If you sort out the TW then i think that this Mod could be one of the best ive played! Nice Work Devs cant wait for next release!
hmm.. between the large scale vehicle battles(Dcon) and the jungle infantry warfare(EOD), the battlefield experiance is complete.Its exactly what vanilla bf2 was missing from day 1. Well done modders, u have achieved what the idiots at EA couldnt understand. Now if only there was more support for this mod in australia(as we get high pings to everywhere else in the world) it would be just great. Dcon seems to be going ok, but its still shaky (in australia that is) with a player base of roughly 100-200 ppl playing reguraly, so i hope more ppl here see the light and start playing these mods more.
If its not vanilla then sniper rifles should be limited, or a lot harder to use. I mean no disrespect, but i dont see how sniper-kits-for-all makes sense when they are this powerful.
a few things id like to see different
1. lots more vehicles- vietnam was known as the "helicopter war". theres few maps that have helicopters and the ones that do dont have enough. a map that features PBR's(patrol boat river) would be really cool. and it needs jets.
F4 phantoms at least maybe some A-1's and F105s or A-4s. the NVA could get mig 17s and mig 21s or they could get lots of AA guns all over the place if you want to be more historically accurate. i understand the logic of making the first release primarily infantry but id love to see helo maps.
2. The Guns- too inaccurate, for me anyway. it seems that with any of the full auto guns you take 2 or 3 shots and youre shooting straight up, even if prone.( here come the flames. wait lemme guess "you just suck at aiming" (and i know some smartass is gonna reply quoting me saying "thats true")or "you havent gotten used to them yet") with this going on it becomes just lots of spray and pray nonsense everywhere with snipers and mortars being the only ones doing any real damage.
3. Maps- i like the feeling of the jungle and the way it really would be in nam but i can barely see. the maps are too dark and too heavily vegetaed(if thats a word). again its cool how its realistic but dont make it TOO realistic so it isnt fun anymore.
i really like the mortars and artillery in this game. thats the best idea ive seen in any mod for any BF ever. i cant beleive noone thought of that sooner. i also like the M14 having the full auto feature which is something not a lot of people know about. overall the mod is great but it could be better.
I think I saw Bigfoot in the jungle on one of the maps. I tried to get a screen shot but my camera mysteriously didn't work at the time. I then tried to just shoot it but my sniper rifle was out of bullets and my pistol jammed. Just as I was going to knife it I was mortar-whored by someone. To top all of this off, Bigfoot then tea-bagged me like 3 or 4 times as I lay there crying for a medic.
Bigfoot, MIGHT have been there.. Did you see the elephant??
Thank you guys for the feedback. Both good and bad. We are addressing the issues and concerns everyone has been talking about. Hopefully, we will get a patch out first of the week that will address the issues.
Love the mod! You really brought the feel of Vietnam to BF2, Good Job!
Some concerns:
1) I think limiting of Sniper Rifles may be in order..(but dont nerf them)
2) I didnt notice any appreciable accuracy bonus for using ironsights over just crosshair (I mean at distances greater than 40m or more)
3) Had some disconnect/server crash experiences on several different servers.
Pro's:
1) I love the mortors also the arti system with the chase-cam views.
2) Over all emersion has been excellent, creeping through the weeds has been awesome.
3) Some really good, realistic firefights... No rambos dodging bullets, i like that the most!
Just wanted to comment real quick about the sounds in the mod. There are some good ones and some bad ones.
The M16 and American Spec ops guns could use some new sounds I think, but other than that I like alot of them.
I know this is kinda morbid too, but I like the new death sounds the soldiers make after they die. I noticed it when some of my squad members got shot and they were saying "MAMA...MAMA" and "I Don't wana Die" and this one time when I stabbed an American soldier on the VC side he said "Fu#$ YOU CHARLIE GO TO HELL!" THAT IS JUST GREAT!!!
They should put night vision in. They had it in Nam I'm pretty sure, just have to make it a little different than the special forces night vision since it was about 30 years ago
They had Starlight scopes in Vietnam, but not very many of them. That is something we might do for a future release. In regards to the dark maps. There are only 5 in the current build (out of 16). We will probably end up with a better mix of maps as we add more maps to the mod build.
This build concentrated on Infantry combat. Next MAJOR release, we will concentrate on some vehicular maps. With a possible city map as well. (Have to see how the city map progress goes.) We should have more chopper maps and some aircraft maps. Along with a map or two that features more armor.
EoD2 is a cool mod. TrahnLee or other developres, here is a list of fixes.
*Change the color of the SCOREBOARD-Menu. I like green, but its ugly on the scoreboard. When teammates are alive, the names will be blue. When the background color is green, its very hard to see the blue names. Also, the scoreboard is a little bit ugly right now (I had to say it).
Also, the white stripe on the "Server info" button needs to be changed. Its ugly.
*There is a bug on the "Dawn At The Rice Paddies"-map on the "US Checkpoint" flag. If you go to one of the towers and get in the LMG, you cant get out. To get out I have to push the suicide button.
*On the Vietcong team, the Engineer class has the "SKS" weapon. When you are reloading this weapon you cant see the clip/magazine.
This bug when you cant see the clip while reloading may occur on other weapons too, Im not sure yet.
