Battlefield Vietnam

Okay, so who else is picking this up come 3/16?

Sure, Vietnam is much less interesting, heroic, and “romantic” than WWII but BF1942 is so great that this is a must-get for me. Plus, the more modern weaponry and enhanced gaming engine should make for a different experience than BF1942.

We need to set-up some epic CHUD battles. I can’t wait to napalm some of you bastards!

Oh, for sure. I’m getting it.

And if you pre-order you get a soundtrack with some Vietnam music…basically stuff you’ve heard in movies. I’m pretty sure “All Along the Watchtower” is on there, as is “War”.

Yeah, EBgames.com has a good deal going on… You can Pre-Order it for $39.99 and you get the bonus sountrack plus Free 2-Day Air shipping:

I’m sure you could add “Fortunate Son” to that list, too.

I am definitely going to pick this one up, so just name the time and place and I’ll be there.

You bet your ass I’ll be there.

You know, all that music is in the actual game. There are radio stations in the vehicles. I’m sure that “Ride of the Valkries” will be included as well.

Side note: I’m there.

I’m getting this.

So what medium do we use to setup games?

gamespyarcade? Dedicated server and password handed out to the Chewers only?

Honest question. What would be fun about this game? I know I’d feel more than a bit guilty for playing it. Not wanting to turn this into a political debate or to rain on anyone’s fun. Feel free to tell me to buzz off.

Team multiplayer with goals to reach. And vehicles. And big assed maps.

Okay so not so much the setting but the possibilities it brings. Gotcha.

It’s a great concept Scott that I feel really establishes the need for team work and such.

Already confirmed. It’s what plays when you swoop in on Huey helicopters. Yep, just like Apocalypse Now.

Dedicated servers would be my medium of choice. Not a big fan of Gamespy, thus I try to avoid it if possible.

Man, I am so going to crap my pants. I really love to copter stuff in the Desert Combat mod.

Are we going to have a game where we get to kill some Injuns next? I mean seriously, now we feel it is necessary to relive our mistakes as a nation on our home computers. God bless America. I’m going to go watch We Were Soldiers, drink coffee out of my Fox News mug, and strive to kill that evil Hanoi Jane.

When Bateman makes posts like that, I almost get physically ill. Like he sends a tangible wave of dumb across the internet and through my monitor.

I’ve been known to do that.

No kidding.

Bateman, that was lame.

For one, you can also play as Vietcong in the game. Secondly, IT"S A GAME!

I was going to post a remark, but I figured someone would say it better. Thanks Don.
