Re: Pros and Cons of BF: Vietnam
 

Ehh

BFV Is just not improved enough for 35 bucks.

and yes, the classes are unbalanced. They coded the M-60 to fire at 900rpm, when it really fires at 550rpm... Like twice as fast...

Edit: Yes, it would be possible yo make a mod thats just bf1942. Unofficially, I can say that dice is working on converting all the BF stuff into a bfv mod. Nothing definite, and dont quote me, but I have sources that tell me that its a wip. And that its damn hard.

Re: Pros and Cons of BF: Vietnam
 

I have a rather crappy rig and BF:V runs just fine with everything on low

AMD +1800
512 RAM
GF 4 mx440 64 meg (yuck!)

IMO it's a great game.

Re: Pros and Cons of BF: Vietnam
 

you call that crappy? i dont even meet the minnimum requirments :p
i only get in games with 4 or 5 people :)

Re: Pros and Cons of BF: Vietnam
 

Well my graphic card sucks bigtime ;) When I get my 9600 256 meg it wont suck soo much.

btw, BF can't be fun with 5 people in a server...

Re: Pros and Cons of BF: Vietnam
 

The graphical improvement in BFV is a good reason in itself to convert. Now when I go back to FH the environment stands out, it looks naked and unnatural. Bf42 (and FH) is so flat... in BFV the terrain is much more varied, and the undergrowth cover up and knit together the whole image of the landscape. Immersion. The city maps are beautiful. I'm already having wet dreams about a DC or FH-mod with tank guns that actually shoot straight... :naughty:

Don't judge the game by the screenshots, you have to get the full gaming experience to fully appreciate the improvements. Also the graphical flag-timer is a great addition, before I got the game I thought it was a useless gimick, I was wrong. Now, all Dice have to do is get rid of the BUGS and imbalances...

Re: Pros and Cons of BF: Vietnam
 

I might get flamed for this but BFV runs smoother than FH on my comp. *me hides*

Re: Pros and Cons of BF: Vietnam
 

I have bf vietnam and all i can think about when i play it is FH WOULD BE SOOO COOL IN BFV!! please make the switch, it will be awesome to have actual vegetation and better graphics.... its hard to play regular bf1942/fh after playing bfv because everything is wide open in bf1942 where in bfv u can hide 2 feet from the opfor in a thicket of grass .. how cool!

vanilla bfv sucks.... i have to admit... lots of bugs and problems u all know about... but its the mods that are gonna make this game the best.. Especially FH mod. So please please please make the switch!

Re: Pros and Cons of BF: Vietnam
 

well after a few hours play of battlefielf vietnam i gotta say that the game is brilliant and has lots of intresting features.The reload animations are amazing and different music for each map is realy good also.Fh should consider moving over to battlefiield vietnam for sure.

-The foliage would make for excellent pacific maps such as guadalcanal and okinawa
-different loading music for each map.You can imagine it now star sprangled flag for iwo jima,soviet anthem for stalingrad,german victory song for fall weiss,nazi anthem for berlin,ride of the valkyres for battle of britian,eisenhowers d day speech for omaha, brits national anthem for el alamien and maybe marine song for siapan.
-The animations would come in very handy.The revolver animation would suit the no 2 very well and the m60 animation would suit the 30 and 50 cal also
- different character models for each class!
-towable vehicles
-sticky bombs, abillity to dig tunnels
-the list goes on :nodding: fh team plz consider moving to vietnam

Re: Pros and Cons of BF: Vietnam
 

I think this is a very good reason against it, besides I have not waited over 2 years to get Bf out of arcade to spend my money to get right back into it... .
And it makes me think to see so many ppl who claimed before just how bad vanilla is, just to be now in the first wave to promote the same...

Re: Pros and Cons of BF: Vietnam
 

Performance is the main reason to stick with BF1942. It's depressing how much performance has dropped. On my Athlon XP 2100+ with 512ram and a GF4 Ti4200 I used to play vanilla BF1942 at high with effects turned on, ran nicely. In BFV I run at virtually all low settings, and my fps is a bit dodgey at times. Now remember FH was more demanding than vanilla BF1942, try and guess at how hard performance will drop with FH on BFV.....
