Kontrollverlust Posted April 22, 2003 Share Posted April 22, 2003 Came across this interesting tid-bit earlier today According to the results of a search of the US Patent and Trademark Office's Trademark Electronic Search System (TESS), Digital Illusions has trademarked the name "Battlefield Vietnam" for a PC computer game project. The Trademark was submitted February 12th of this year. Could this be the official sequel to Digital Illusion's ultra popular action game series, Battlefield 1942? One would think so, but neither Electronic Arts nor Digital Illusions have made any public comments on the name, so mark it as "unconfirmed rumor" for the time being.

corrosive23 Posted April 22, 2003 Share Posted April 22, 2003 Came across this interesting tid-bit earlier todaySource: BFCentral.com That would be great! However I more suspect that DI will buy DC and release it like how valve releases CS with Halflife Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
persianpsycho Posted April 22, 2003 Share Posted April 22, 2003 heh i posted that news on bfcentral forums anyway, i would much rather see the Eve of destruction mod which has worked so hard end up being made retail once it has released mutiple versions. The screenshots ive seen look awsome, and the mod has a lot of community support as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FudgeMonkey Posted April 22, 2003 Share Posted April 22, 2003 i don't really see a Vietnam battlefield, i mean the vehicles would sit somewhere between BF1942 and the DC mod true but the vehicles wouldn't play as big a part surely, which is what MAKES battlefield. I mean if you took the vehicles out, and added jungle scenes i think it would loose a lot, plus if you look at the actual detail of most of the maps, things like foliage are sparse anyway, where as 'nam would require ALOT more bushes, trees, logs, even caves etc. I wonder how the engine would cope. Of course they may use a different engine but U know what i mean. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Defiantly Posted April 22, 2003 Share Posted April 22, 2003 I would rather see some improvments/additions made to BF1942 and that it sticks with the WWII theme. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
persianpsycho Posted April 22, 2003 Share Posted April 22, 2003 Well they are making another expansion for batlefield called secret weapons, which will include stuff not commonly seen during world war 2. IMO its just a stupid expansion that wont bring a lot to battlefield, for the purpose of making those punks at EA richer. If they really wanted to add something to the community, they should instead create the SDK and release that as well as the map editor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Defiantly Posted April 22, 2003 Share Posted April 22, 2003 I agree persian. I consider myself a WWII buff and while I appriciate EA's effort, I think this move is geared to the many console born gamers out there. Maybe it will include a skin of mario or some other cartoon character... :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
badall Posted April 22, 2003 Share Posted April 22, 2003 i always figured the sequal to battlefield 1942 would be battlefield 1943 :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Icarus ^i^ Posted April 23, 2003 Share Posted April 23, 2003 This could be interesting if they do it right... I'm not very interested in the vietnam era though. WWII is pretty much the perfect setting for this kind of game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jon Posted April 23, 2003 Share Posted April 23, 2003 Vietnam is a very rarely covered era, and I think it'd be great fun. Fighting with lots of cover (ie a forest) is so much more interesting, but I'm not sure how well bf1942 will port to it. As far as vehicals go, lol there was no shortage of them in 'nam, especially aircraft. They would need to add a model for heat seeking missiles really though, considering for most of the conflict the phantom didnt have guns heh.

And, I believe it's the same thing you did to me in the Star Wars Galaxies topic, my friend. It's a add-on for the fictional/never-made-it weapons of WWII. What's so bad about that?

topher1078 Posted April 24, 2003 Share Posted April 24, 2003 I wish they would branch out into a more modern setting. Desert Combat is nice and all but it's so unbalenced and stuff the games turn into trying to get a vehicle, blow some stuff up, then leave. My dream game would be if they teamed up with Lucasarts and made Battlefield: Star Wars. God it makes me giddy thinking about it, AT-ATs, AT-STs, speeders, fighers, blasters, detonators, lightsabers, and of course all the various fighters. Man that would be sweet.

Kontrollverlust Posted April 24, 2003 Author Share Posted April 24, 2003 I think the Vietnam idea could be really fun if pulled off correctly. It would be tons of fun to engage in true guerilla warfare. Climb-able trees and a voice bind for "Charlies up in the trees!!" would rule. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
