Battle Ground : Viet Nam

[Waste Land]

Okay I was at best buy checking out cameras for my birthday and came acroos this game. I must say "IT F&$ing rules!!!" It's covered with real facts and details, great graphics and sounds. Choices between teams, body/face, weapons and rides are endless. You can be a dirver of a jeep, to a ground troop to a gunner ont he side of a huey or lay down some napalm froma F4 Phantom. The online play is even better. I payed 40 and it was well worth it. I'd recommend this game to anyone who likes action or 1st person shooters. Heres a few screen shots.

Heres me laying down some cover fire on a troop transport while a team member runs to throw a gernade.

Here's me pinning down a VC with a M-60...too bad the screen shot never caught the muzzle flash.

I'll have some more up tommorrow but I'm going to bed at the moment.

I wonder if it's based on the Quake 3 engine. i used to play MoHAA and there were alot of cool things you could do to mod the game, like this:

Yeah, that's me. Custom head skin. I did heads and custom skins for the clan I was fighting with. Online gaming was badass when you could see your buddies as they really looked like.

I'm not sure if its on the quake 3 engine but the game rules, lol. It's the end to the Battle Field : 1948 or something like that. I like WWII games but I've played way to many of them and thought it was time to move up to another war. Did anyone ever play the original game by GT called "NAM" it ran off dos and was made witht he older Duke Nukem 3d engine. It was funny.

The original series is called Battlefield 1942, by the way. It's not using Quake engine. The MOH experience is a little more fluid. Battlefield doesn't quite give you that feel, but it's still good.

I'm a huge fan of the original Battlefield 1942 games. I heard Vietnam was coming out, but I wasn't sure if it was another expansion or if it's a completely new game. I'm guessing it's new since you didn't have to buy the original game? I like playing with a small group of friends on a LAN because I HATE playing online. There are just too many stupid kids that have no gaming "etiquette" and they just run amuck. It gets on my nerves and I can't play online anymore. There is a Vietnam mod for 1942 called "Eve of Destruction." So if you have the original games and don't wanna buy a whole new game, you can get that one, and many other mods, from BF1942files.com. I wonder if 1942 mods will work on BF Vietnam?

Also, here's another cool new war game. It's called Kuma\War. For $10/month, you download missions every month that are recreations and most are of recent real life events in the middle east. The most recent mission is the Fallujah raid.

Same here. I ran 2 MoHAA servers off a business cable connection (my boss was real cool) when I was playing with my clan. We ran Omaha on one with CKR realism, no rockets or snipers and CKR Autokick with remote admin via PCAnywhere. It ruled. We kept a good server going for about a year, but I was getting burned out on Omaha. The other server ran Spearhead, but I hated playing on it. SH had alot of bugs and EA just wouldn't fix them.

Online is cool, when you hook up with a decent group that runs a clean server, but it takes alot of work to get one set up right.
