Re: Vietnam

The sniper rifle, particularly M40 is insane!

You crossbreed M95 and M24 and you have the M40.

It does one hit kill to chest [if they don't have body armor], but its scope zoom speed is same as M95.

Well I m loving it nonetheless [why do i feel EA is about to nerf soon?].

The SVD and M21 is great, but the scope zoom is too slow to be of any practical use up close. Since it takes 2-3 shots to drop someone.

Re: Vietnam

does anyone else here notice that the headshot ratio is WAY up? especially with the AK47, i mean i was getting headshots on a double kill while randomly spraying people and even when i was clearly hitting them in the stomach i got a headshot. its nice when i get them, but when i see that i was killed in one shot by an uzi headshot i get pissed.

anyone else see this? headshots for about half the kills?

yep, headshots galore, it feels like everyone has a aimbot. I have consistently been getting multiple head-shot kills with one shot fired, somethings broken.

Allot of these sounds are the same ones from vanilla, they have just applied pitch and variation to make them sound a bit different, besides the dialog, and after all that whoring DICE did about how kick ass their sound team was....kick ass with autotune i guess they meant. And these songs.....where is fortunate son i keep hearing on every single trailer? wheres ride of the Valkyries? wheres all the original tunes from BFV? it sounds like they went to kmart bargain bin and picked out all of the royalty free music for this game, it's almost all absolute crap, i would rather have 5 good songs than 90 garbage ones.

Some majorly FUBARED weapons damage for sure, the Huey's rockets kill anything near them where they hit in conquest, you can nail a single man with 5 rockets in rush and do nothing to him, there's some major weapons damage inconsistencies between modes. And the M-40? WTF were they thinking? did they want to encourage more worthless camping snipers? The thing is a friggen laser beam, one shot kill every time......boom headshot....booom headshot......boom headshot!!!!

I think I've had just about all of the postage stamp sized total choke point COD clusterf*ck wanna be maps I can take. why even do all that hyping about the Huey's with every single trailer? they are in one map and are an absolute cake walk to shoot out of the sky with a tank, they are almost worthless and for christ sakes, if you intend to make it so engies cant repair a chopper mid flight then dont do it half assed to where it only takes 15 minutes to discover the glitch that allows them to repair midlfiight.


ok, rant over, I know, it's $15, these are just a few giant looming issues i came across, i mean i did only pay 50 cents for this and the specacts kit after bitching at EA about where the hell BF1943 was, i think they just gave me the $20 coupon to save face so I'm not gonna look a gift horse in the mouth but once again i feel like what DICE advertised is a totally different product than what they delivered.

This one?:

I feel like the hit detection is a lot better, and it takes less bullets for a kill.

No, I agree as well. I actually sniped a guy out of the huey last night by aiming right where it should have gone. Where the bullet hits, it seems to register. I havent seen any flying blood but no hit yet.

Re: Vietnam

for $15 these days it's hard to go wrong with anything, even with it's shortcomings I still think it's well worth the $15 price tag and the change of environment.

Allot of people have been expressing they feel it plays smoother, i do see it but the engine still struggles under heavy close quarters combat and you end up having allot of people with their graphical settings much too high for their machines and they become easy prey when the smoke and debris are flying and they are getting under 10fps.

Re: Vietnam

It cost me 19.99 from ea store!duno why :|: because our dollar is good.

Posatives is thats its ok money per value(i say ok not great because some seem like mini maps)

negatives is not many weapons,some maps seem quiet small,Game seems biased towards USA. On one map the yanks get helos,tanks and the NVA get nothing.


Now my theory... Was this game actually 1943? and they made it into BFV?becuase some maps seem small like 43?

according to the EA support staff BF1943 is still coming, last july....:shakehead:...my theory is related to CK leaving DICE on not so good terms, he took his intellectual property with him and we will never see BF1943, it's the only explanation i can think of for the way DICE and EA are absolutely going out of their way to ignore any questions related to BF43 and we haven't heard a peep since CK left, id suspect that's for intellectual property rights more than anything. Sure hope I'm wrong, i really would like to see BF1943 on the PC, hell , I'm to the point I'll take anything with a battlefield name on it, i can only go back to BF2 so many times.

what ever happened to that BF2142 patch that was supposed to be coming 6 months ago?

Re: Vietnam

You guys must have recieved a different game then I got, my version runs well in most servers, teams and weapons seem pretty balanced, the m-40(which is not any better IMO than m-24 or Gol or m-95 or sv98) only gets me one shot kill in head or already wounded guy, and the map size is plenty big unless you just like walking alot. They're big enough to snipe from distance and I really like the design of the maps because you can flank due to size or cover which there is alot of. The fact that they are charging 15 bucks is well worth the price and I enjoy the stripped down amount of weapons and gadjets, especially the lack of red dots and 4x scopes, it makes the incounters much more intense and up close. The vanilla game is mostly fought at range and no ability to flank opfor on narrow map setup.

Supposedly the single (lol) developer is back on it, to fix the server issues from the beta or whatever it was. It should come soon, but hey it's DICE we're talking about here :S

As for vietnam, I can't find anything really wrong with it. Headshots might be a little bit too easy to get and the maps are a bit prone to lock down at a chokepoint sometimes. But overall it's pretty good, especially when you factor in it's only $15. Really like it. I like how powerful the boats are compared to the death traps they are in vanilla BC2. :awes

The music is real nice still, but would have been better with some more recognisable songs...

Re: Vietnam

Anyone else think the patrol boat front MG is over-powered?

The M40 is fine, no one touch it please :) The slow zoom speed makes up for the damage.

I bring it up the lines and use it like a shotty.

The SVD and M21 scope zoom needs fix, needs faster zoom.

Re: Vietnam

All the weapons deal too much damage, like, it's almost like hitreg feels toooo good. When I single shot a sniper with my rpk from across the map I get the feeling something is inbalanced.

Re: Vietnam

I know what it is, it feels like when BC2 first came out, before nerfing health and all that.

As for FPS, Jimy, its the same for me. It feels different, but I think thats just because its meant to.

No, the front guns on the boat are not overpowered. There have been a few rounds I have been pinnned down, but took a few hits and lived. The tanks are stronger, but not really an issue.

I hope people dont start wanting to nerf things. Thats how things end up broke.

Re: Vietnam

The boat is useful this time, powerful but you die really easily. By the way I prefer to turn the boat and fire with the MG on the back most of the time, it seems I die less this way.

Something borderline op is the Huey, I don't know if the mg have splash damage (I guess yes) but I was racking kills like no tomorrow, the rockets are ok. One guy went 28-0 before the he was finally killed by me by a lucky shot with stolen T48.

talk about uncanny, i think the beta for the next 2142 patch just went live, at-least the download links for it are.
