Re: Vietnam worth getting?

Yea the hit-boxes are massive. I have been playing as a sniper and shooting left of a persons head to get a headshot :/

Re: Vietnam worth getting?

Yeah, you see, big hitbox goes both ways.

Re: Vietnam worth getting?

I bought it but tbh so far im not impressed. Most of the maps feel like they lack any real direction and i simply spawn and die straight away. Quite frustrating.

Re: Vietnam worth getting?

like said before the game's hit boxes are huge and it is very easy to increase your kdr significantly.

all maps except phu bai and hastings are chokepoints and not very well done (conquest)

the ppsh m15 and ak47 get a rediculous amounts of headshots and the ppsh can be used as a sniper rifle

the huey is a flying coffin never get into one (especially if im playing, i shoot them down 1st or 2nd try in my tank)

there are few weapon choices ao you might get sick of that after a while, luckily you can use the m1 and thompson as an all class weapon

all in all id say get it for sure, a much better buy for $15 than the crappy map pack for black ops!

Re: Vietnam worth getting?

So how many active player are there?

Varies, on the Eastern Time Zone, there are about 7 good servers.

Usually populated at night.

A lot of servers are empty though.

Re: Vietnam worth getting?

Quite a bit, I usually am able to frequent the same servers.

Also, yet again, to avoid chokepoint like scenarios just play on servers with less people... I swear you people ignore more every time I say this haha, the gameplay is so much better.

The Huey is sooooooooooooooo much fun.

Forgot to mention:

choppers are much easier to fly in nam than in vanilla.

the boats (almost spelled the goats) are very powerful, they can "MOW DOWN" and I am not exaggerating, MOW DOWN, the entire enemy team if they are left unchecked. The .30 cals on Patrol Boats are bone saws.

Flamethrower has an effective range of 15m. Don't try to use it like a sniper rifle.

The milk van or Tuk-tuk is very weak, a pistol can blow it up. Use it with caution.

Maybe this is a personal thing:

Soldiers in nam BLEND IN to the environment, and the maps are generally dark (hasting is an exception), so making out enemy soldiers is difficult.

This just makes me more excited. I can finally get that vehicle warfare pin!

Re: Vietnam worth getting?

if you guys have played MoH, it's very similar to it.

LIES! :R

Re: Vietnam worth getting?

ALL MAPS have chokepoints, and at that point (I see what you did there), it becomes a sniper fest.

M40 is one hit kill, similar to the pre-patch BFBC2 M95.

The hitregs are HUGE! M16/ak47/M60s are king.

I dunno, when everyone was complaining about the M60 being overpowered early in BC2, I loved it, and actually did better with it then than I do now.... hahaha

Know this, and decide whether you want it.

You'll die alot!

Re: Vietnam worth getting?

I was banned on a site for using the M40. The admin thought it was an M21 and didnt know his game very well.

Even though Amaranthuse is correct, I still find it enjoyable.
