Bit disappointed there is nothing unique about it, its just a BC2 reskin, only plus about it is the flamethrower but that gets boring after about 2 minutes.

Disappointed? What were you expecting, exactly?

What gave you the impression that it was going to be anything more than a Vietnam era, weapons & maps, expansion?

Ok after playing for a couple more hours, I change my mind, Vietnam is very fast paced and I have been raging badly :p There's hardly any cover and everyone blends into the environment. It's a very big change of pace from BC2, which IMHO, is very good, it's like 2 games.

EA servers were acting up like crazy. But all in all, Vietnam is pretty good. Not a huge fan of the increased weapon damage, but my biggest gripe about it is the washed out look (looks like brightness is extremely high). For me it's a bit hard on the eyes.

But gotta love the grenade launcher and flamethrower sounds. FLUMP :D

Just got out of a game where my team absolutely refused to shoot down the attacking helicopters. The result? We spent the entire round haveing reinforcements dropped in on us. The worst part is at the last section they get TWO helicopters. Rage quit commenced.

That map, not sure of the name of it is absolutely terrible. There is literally no cover for the defending spawns and you can snipe right into the attacking spawn from the defending spawn area, as well. Terrible terrible map design DICE. It's the flat village map where the attacking team starts with a tank and heli.

Yeah fully agree, I tend to use a tank as I think I have shared, and it just got ugly on that map. I actually quit out of boredom because it was without a doubt the equivalent of base spawn rape, we just had that team cornered at their spawn. Even with 2 tanks and a heli that could just not get out. I will be avoiding that map.

Overall, I really like it though. That one map with the tunnels or whatever is a lot of fun, with all the hills, but talk about the definition of a choke point on that map, by C I think it was (if playing conquest). One enemy grenade got 7 kills. Not kidding. It was on the narrow path on the way to A.

Curious to see what this 5th map is like, but overall I like it a lot.

Errrrr - rank reset?! Was Rank 46 everything unlocked. Now back to Rank 1 with nothing...

Happened to me too, 3 times actually just a glitch, I quit the game, came back, and stats were back.

Just to prove I do fail epically sometimes...

:rofl:

Happens to the best of us man, no doubt about it. Actually happens to me more then I would like to admit. :rofl: So much so, I am actually still trying to get my K/D Ratio above 1, right now it is at .96.

I think there must be some kind of glitch with the stats tracking as well, because 2 stats site and the in game stats all say I am at 191% accuracy! :laugh:

Just had a great rush round at Oasis, we were attacking, ending up winning but were cutting it close a couple of times. I was always in there attacking the objective and was a bit annoyed the tanks weren't advancing. So when I respawned I grabbed a tank from our base and drove it literally right up to the mcom, needless to say we destroyed it that time, even if the tank was destroyed. You need to hold them off just enough to destroy it.

Yeah, I encountered my first hacker yesterday on a Vietnam map for the first time since the beta of BC2. The saddest part is that these people probably pay for their hacks.

I can understand cheating in single player games when something is done stupid or stupidly tedious for no reason, but in a multiplayer game? Sad.

This hackers name was [T-MOBILE] or some such combination of brackets on it.

Well, today i picked up Vietnam and BFBC2 for the PC (i had previously owned BC2 on the 360) and i went 1-6 on my first match. I used to do great on the xbox, but i don't even know where i am dieing from in this game. I spawn, i move, i randomly die. There was a rampant hacker on the server, but beyond that is the skill gap just THAT large? I enjoy a challenge, but not something frustrating. I was decent on 360, and i still got pwnd some games, but i always felt like i had a chance.

I would say give it a bit more time then one match, there is definitely going to be an adjustment period going from the console version to the PC version. I would also suggest if you can choose only punkbuster servers if you did not already, as I have personally yet to see any hackers, and I always stick to punkbuster servers. If it indeed was a punkbuster server and there was a hacker, it should hopefully get sorted out much sooner then later. Some view punkbuster as an annoyance, but I personally really like it.

But also I would say just from seeing peoples Veteran status on the PC when I play, there are a decent amount of people like myself who have pretty much been playing the series since the beginning, so you just have a decent amount of people who have a "feel" so to speak for the series itself, so the level of competition may indeed be a bit higher on the PC, but I do realize that is entirely open to debate and personal opinion, but I do feel that overall when I have played this game on the PC and 360 (for awhile I played both versions), I did get the impression that overall PC players had a more intuitive understanding of general gameplay itself.

Again though I would say just give it some more time and do not get to frustrated, I really think it will just take some time to adapt going from one platform to the other.

    • Zed 1.7.2 has landed with updated OpenCode models, bug fixes and other improvements

      By David Uzondu · Posted

      Zed 1.7.2 has landed with updated OpenCode models, bug fixes and other improvements by David Uzondu Zed 1.7.2 recently landed on the stable release channel, bringing a host of AI-related features including automatic context compaction and settings-based skill management, along with other things like better Markdown preview rendering and custom git commands in the graph view. Starting with the AI stuff, the developers introduced "/compact", a command that basically summarizes your conversation history on demand. This tool prevents your active chat window from hitting token limits by compressing older parts of the dialogue into a brief overview. In addition to that, the team relocated skill management to the settings UI, improving how the application communicates errors regarding those skills, and updated the OpenCode model roster to support DeepSeek V4 Flash, MiniMax M3, Qwen 3.7 Plus, and Nemotron 3 Ultra Free. External agent users can also monitor context window cost metrics and delete individual sessions directly from their history. Right-clicking ref labels in the git graph now opens a context menu that runs different actions against selected targets, kind of how VS Code does it. Here are some of the bug fixes this new release brings: The active agent fails to auto-select when creating a new git worktree. A scrollbar unexpectedly appears on wrapped code blocks in the agent chat. Collapse indicators for project headers appear when performing sidebar searches. Bracketed ellipsis title prefixes fail to show the ellipsis icon properly. Project icons render incorrectly in the recent projects picker. Diff hunk controls appear inside non-editable commit view multibuffers. The software update button hangs indefinitely on the downloading stage. Restoring an agent terminal in a remote project triggers a sudden crash. Splitting a pane that contains an active commit view causes a crash. Linux Wayland freezes when trying to read the clipboard from laggy external apps. Zed is a "newish" code editor trying to break the massive stronghold VS Code has on the developer community. Funny enough, the editor was created by former GitHub employees who worked on the Atom text editor (which Microsoft killed in 2022, several years after it bought GitHub). The project officially hit version 1.0 back in April, introducing platform parity for Windows and Linux alongside deep support for DeepSeek-V4-Pro.

      26H2 absolutely will support ARM Windows just not on devices that came with 26H1. This is evident by the fact I am running 26H2, which on my MacBook Neo and Surface Pro 12 (inch), within a VM.

    • Microsoft confirms Windows 11 26H2, urges IT admins to prepare for release

      By WrongHead™ · Posted

      It’s amusing how Microsoft is pushing IT admins as if this was a major, game-changing update. In reality, it’s just an enablement package that bumps the build number, which is disappointing compared to the more substantial 22H2 and 24H2 releases. Technically, 25H2, 26H1, and the upcoming 26H2 are essentially the same, differing only in support schedules. They could have included the Windows K2 improvements here, but chose not to. The era of Windows being in the backburner continues, and this 26H2 release feels like an afterthought. Shame, Nadella, shame.
