Yeah. I think BF Vietnam has more appeal to me b/c my dad was in Vietnam (18 months as an MP) and there's sort of a "connection" there. That, and I like the realistic character models and gameplay.
UT2004 character models are too big and blocky IMHO and I don't find the gameplay all that appealing. That, and the colors used in the game remind me of Joel Schumacher's renditions of "Batman Forever" and "Batman and Robin". Don't get me wrong, it's miles head of Quake/Doom drabness, but it's a bit too far on the "fruity" side for me

I getting both this week at BB, but I'm more excited about BF Vietnam purely because the mod scene will be huge if 1942 is any comparison. Especially since the mod tools have been improved. Also, the new foilage model is more sniper friendly this time around which should make for some heated battles. Plus, napalm!

bizarre, if you really want to have a connection about nam go watch "hearts and minds" or read "Secrets: a memoir of vietnam and the pentagon papers" by Daniel Ellsberg. or i guess you could run around shooting polygon vietnamese.

Heh, after playing BF Vietnam today I can't say its that great. Its still pretty laggy and its just not that polished. I guess I'll have to play it at a lan sometime.

Cant say Im surprised. Got to wonder why theres no demo out...
BF1942 when it first came out was an excercise in frustration. Laggy as hell, and I could swear that 90% of the shots that were dead on ended up being misses. It just didnt have the solid, polished feel that even day of defeat had. Its just a god awful engine, and Ive always thought so from the very beginning. Its like the game is working against you rather than with you. Not to mention weird mouse lag problems, text thats all screwed up when you use AA, the absolute worst control scheme for some of the vehicles (you mean I actually have to *hold* the forward button to keep the plane in the air? So I slow down by tap tap tapping it? wtf?) It had a cool wow Ive never done this novelty that wore off too quick, when you realize how bad of a game it actually is. The format is brilliant, but Im waiting for a company to make a solid war game with vehicles that doesnt play like garbage most of the time.
Still looking forward to it, but Im already prepared to be dissapointed.
