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.

    • Poll: Grand Theft Auto VI price predictions, cast your vote

      Poll: Grand Theft Auto VI price predictions, cast your vote by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe After years of waiting, Rockstar will be solidifying the launch date of Grand Theft Auto VI with the launch of pre-orders next week. While the studio has confirmed a date for this occasion, it is yet to attach a price to the highly anticipated game. So let's see what our readers think it will cost at launch. The Grand Theft Auto VI pre-orders will kick off on June 25 for digital and physical editions. Unless some last-minute changes happen, the release date will be November 19, 2026, across Xbox Series X|S and PlayStation 5. Unfortunately, there's still no information about a PC version from the developer or the publisher Take-Two. Now the question becomes, how much will Grand Theft Auto VI cost at launch? The game is predicted by some analysts to be the biggest launch of an entertainment product ever. With the amount of hype that has been built behind it and with ballooning development costs, Take-Two may price this Grand Theft Auto entry differently from other AAA titles. The current price of a AAA game is $69.99. That norm almost rose to $79.99 before calming down. But with such a massive release, Grand Theft Auto VI may be the game that pushes the boundary again. It's also possible that Take-Two keeps the price relatively low to increase the number of players that jump in early and keep them hooked on Grand Theft Auto Online to spend on microtransactions for years to come. Keep in mind that the below poll is asking for a prediction of the standard edition price, not a deluxe or any other special edition that Take-Two will introduce for additional benefits. Also, there is the chance of the company splitting up the campaign and online portions. If you think that will happen, put your vote on what you think will be the total cost of the two. Poll Poll: How much will Grand Theft Auto VI cost? $59.99 $69.99 $79.99 $89.99 $100 or more Submit Vote If you have a very specific prediction in mind, sound off in the comments below.
