So its the Canadians fault? Usually is.

I'm thought I remembered reading about Trauma being contracted by DICE before they were bought up and I thought that was related to BF:V, guess I was wrong though.

Jep is still being a pessimist.

Man, I liked Battlefield Vietnam. Even played in a ladder for it.

I liked BF:V once they fixed the m60 issue. Too few people knew how to counter chopper whoring, which got pretty aggravating. Later fixes in the code actually made it pretty clunky, but the gameplay was fun. I think I was the only person who played with foliage turned up... it made the enemy harder to see, but it gave a great feel to the game. Some of the maps were really well made too and the kits, although not incredibly balanced, really were pretty kewl. I realy enjoyed some of the small touches to the game too. For example, the ability to kill the voice by killing the speaker. "Poor soldier, your country has abandoned you. Your helicopters fall from the sky, like broken birds." Gosh, her name escapes me, but I remember always striving to kill the speaker, only to feel lonely afterwards. The mopeds were awesome!

The ability to crank the tunes was pretty fun too. I remember when I first got it, I read you could put your own MP3's on. The first day I had it, I musta drove around, crankin the Benny Hill theme song doing just stupid shit in jeeps. It took about 20 minutes before I realized others could only hear stock songs. The "Bird is the Word" song got pretty annoying after a while, but "Hush" and some Jefferson Airplane more than made up for that. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q1cfTMdjkYM This clip is pretty funny. I think I was born 15-20 years too late.

Wait a sec.... Were you called LuckyShot in BF:V too?

Balance issues aside, BF:V had some pretty cool features. I remember it was the first FPS I ever played that really felt like it was in a jungle. The ambiance was incredible. I loved the in-game radio/music (big classic rock fan) and I would just crank the tunes and then rip around the maps.

I never really got into the original BF that much - BF:V was the first one I played heavily.

Oddly Battlefield Vietnam was the only game in the Series I didn't play.

Yea, I have been Lucky Shot since CTF days in 1942. Beyond working over the movable spawn point (Shovel) I also was a chopper killer on Khe Sahn with the mortar. I had those US vehicle spawn points nailed within 5 seconds of the start of the round and that was with taking the time to place it on an ammo crate.

I enjoyed BF:V right up until the moment where I grabbed a sniper kit and went off into the jungle to be sneaky. I circled around onto a hill where I could snipe the enemy from a well hidden distant spot. I settled in and watched as the enemy approached my trap, then before I could even fire, they shot into the trees and killed me. I tried a couple more times before I realized that the trees were not giving me any cover at all.

I wanted it to be better.

If you want Jungle warfare you need the game Vietcong
