Are you guys playing this? I am hooked. I love it..... Is it just me?

Also, add some of your favorite tips and tricks if you would like to help out a noob to BF series.

It is fantastic. Try out the free WWII mod that was released, it is fun as well. I don't play that often anymore, I stick to Joint Ops Typhoon Rising. I'm JimmyJam-NYC in most shooters. The shotgun, mines, pungi sticks are fun as hell. The US gun that has the M203 grenade launcher attached is almost overpowered but great fun. Stay under cover as much as possible and don't get in aircraft piloted by idiots.

I was playing it all the time until CS:S came out, now i'm hooked on counterstrike again. The spawn raping in BFV was getting annoying. Not to mention PB timing out when updating and kicking me from servers left n right.

Yeah, I have that one as well as PoE. It is a great game for sure. I tried CS a couple times but could not really get into it much. I lean towards more realistic military sims. Love the GR series.

Thanks for the input guys.

I love the BF series. Vietnam is different than 1942 but it's still an extremely good game. I used to play it hours per day until World of Warcraft came out. Right now I'm waiting for Battlefield 2. I'll probably start playing Vietnam again when WoW becomes boring.

me and Lasereth used to be in this pretty bad. we stopped playing when World of Warcraft went Retail but I think I'm gonna get back in to it. You can't beat that multiplayer engine. Good stuff. Lasereth was in the top 100 best Battlefield 1942 players in the world at one point FYI, good stuff. I was good, but never got that good. I suck at Vietnam. But I want to start playing again.

4 words: 1942 was way better

I went back to 1942 after playing Vietnam for a while and actually realized that I enjoyed Vietnam more. 1942 has way more enjoyable vehicular carnage, but Vietnam can't be beat with its infantry setting. It actually feels like you're a soldering using a gun, not just a guided gun on rollerskates like in most FPS.

i love the bf line of games. Vietnam is by far my favorite of the series.

SiNai · 01-13-2005, 09:42 PM

Completely love Vietnam, no doubt about it. Desert Combat was fun for a while but most of the maps seem heavily vehicle-based, and I'm more of an infantry guy. CS:S just made me want to play more BFV again!

hulk · 01-14-2005, 04:31 AM

Like Las, I'm waiting for BF2. Hell, I'm gonna build a PC just for it, after I saw that vid with the missile going straight through the chopper's doors.

M.T. Promises · 01-16-2005, 12:56 PM

I still play BFV on occasion, same name as I post with. I saw the WWII mod when I got the last patch but didn't grab it, DL'n it as I type.

The maps aren't as much fun as the 1942 maps, that's my overall take on BFV vs. 1942. I also do miss the medic class, give me a tommy gun, a med pack and a few grenades and I'm ready to storm the beaches.

omega2K4 · 01-16-2005, 05:07 PM

I didn't like BF:V, I just stick with BF1942. The Eve of Destruction (Vietnam-based, soon to expand to other wars/conflicts) mod for BF1942 > BF:V

cyrnel · 01-16-2005, 05:13 PM

I liked 1942 better too. The graphics are a little dated but the gameplay & maps are good stuff. Except when the AI snipes you from a mile two milliseconds after you poke your head up. That, I don't like.
