Sorry to bring up an old topic, but I just bought this after a few recommendations and have to say how utterly disappointed I am with this.  The only good things it's got going for it are the soundtrack (excellent) and the vehicles (although everyone in multiplayer just seems to run for the nearest Huey or jet - the jeeps and boats are lefti idling).

The bots are moronic and are nowhere near the decent standards of CZ.  Their shooting on medium levels is pathetic, and they simply don't respond to commands or work co-op.

The steaming jungles of Khe Sahn?  Pah.  More like the rolling hills of Virginia.  Never once do I get the sense I'm in jungle warfare.  Vietcong, for all of it's many, many limitations created much better jungle environments.

The graphics, let's be honest, are amateurish at best (even on the highest rez).

And the gameplay is so one-dimensional with it's focus on holding strategic points - why oh why didn't they go for something like the "assault" missions on UT2004?  Anything to break up the monotony and repetitiveness.

I never played BF1942, so was looking forward to this.  Now I wish I'd saved my £20  :angry:
If I wanted you to understand I would have explained it better

This game went down a treat at the lan!!  I too was thinking along your lines when i first got it, but it seemed so much better at the lan.   As for the bots we had a game at the lan bots on one side us on the other and we were getting a hiding!  <_<

As a single player game it's dire (although not even in the realms of the great abortion that is CZ. At least it actually had some new maps, guns and gameplay styles).

As a multiplayer game it's also dire unless you can get on a very good server, and there are a few out there. If you can get into a game with 30 people, who all want to play properly as a team, share the vehicles and play both sides, then this game is a winner. Sadly it seems you have a snowballs chance in hell of finding one on a public server.

However as a LAN game it was, as Onion said, Stellar.  The Sunday morning game was an absolute riot.

But no war games at this moment let you play with cars helicopters etc so i think this is the best of the bunch even if ppl hog the vehicles.  :devil:

JAs can't fly jets, he can barely walk in a straight line most of the time

Bump!!!!!

I've just bought the game from the giftchecques they gave at work so I'm going to install it this weekend.

Who's got it and plays it online? I had a blast at the LAN on this game. So if you have a server you play alot on, then plz let me know.

Or you could just lacerate your eyeballs with a dull soup spoon over the course of a weekend - a lot more enjoyable, trust me  ;)  

You should have used those gift vouchers to buy some Heineken and visited one of them there "cafes" you have :)  A lot more "relaxing" :)

I couldn't use it on any alcoholic beverages (otherwise would have spend it on a couple of crates of Grolsch and have a few m8s over to watch the game of tomorrow  ;) ). It was a giftcheque which you could only spent in one store. I allready wanted to have BF. I liked it alot at the LAN and the shop had it.

About that soupspoon, nah, how do I have to play without my eyeballs, I don't know if the Grolschhax is that mighty :) .

At the LAN it was genius and I could have played it for days. In fact I think we did :)

As a single player game...well it isn't a single player game no matter what they say on the box.

As a public server game it's good as long as you get a server with sensible people on it. And they are very few and far between. And it still screams out for voice comms.

Sadly my copy is long gone from my PC for the above reasons
