Bf:bc2 Vietnam

[DivHunter]

Copied from my post at OCAU.

I'll start off by saying this Vietnam mod (that's what it feels like) is OK.

Lacks for weapons and vehicles. Lacks the available variety in troops or are the VC and ARV (?) $6 later?

Maps are uninspired, some choke points as if they made the flamethrower first and then realised all their open map ideas made it useless. Only the textures and flimsy walls differentiate the maps from regular BC2. BC2 has maps with more jungle, the map that is specifically mentioned as being heavy jungle in the voice over is conveniently napalmed. The mist-ish effect is to help mask the lack of actual jungle.

WTF agent orange bombs?

As a Vietnam mod the OpFlash version was better and that was a free mod made by some guy.

All in all I'll probably get some stars, get some badges and then GTFO. If you haven't bought it maybe don't.

P.S. lulz at "Jeff.p" you enormous hypocrite, did poorly and accused people of hacking then aimbots, you're a disgrace.

haha I did actually think of the OpFlash mod, the single player campaign in it was damn near farking impossible though!

I've only had a chance to play it briefly, but +1 on chokepoints, and wankers using flamer all the time, but its otherwise not bad.

needs moar open maps tbh

Surely you jest. All the maps are open. They have these retarded cap points then open nothingness then another clusterfuck.

Very few people use the flamerthrower from the few hours I've played, mostly because it blows goats. Vietnam era flamethrowers actually, you know, throw flames. The in game ones are lucky to have a range of 3m.

Have you noticed how all the weapons are basically the shit ones from BC2?

Where the fuck is the M113?

[bozodos]

flamers are awesome around cap points lulz

like I said, haven't had time to give it a good playthrough, and M113 would have been nice, M16 seemed underpowered for what it was, same with the M14; it really seems to favour those who have already leveled up in BC2.

Hopefully they will keep on improving it, but until then it's still the best vietnam game I've played apart from Seal Team and the abovementioned OpFlash mod

Dude if it's anything like I remember, most of the guns felt exactly the same, except LESS accurate than the original AK-47 etc
