Battlefield Vietnam, Shellshock, Shellshock 2 (now with Vietnamese zombies in THE MAIN PLOT)...and uh. that's it?
I share your pain.Kirbymike said:
This could be awesome. I doubt they'll completely balls it up, at worst I think it'll just be meh and at best it could be awesome.
This gave me a good laugh. I agree that people complain too much about things that were put in the game for a reason are "noobish." However, having said that, I have to say that number 10, the Witch Blade class is one of the few things that really irritates me and that I consider to be "noobish." For a game that brags about how realistic it is, having perks that when combined, turn your soldier into a super human with the ability to run at high speeds non-stop, take no falling damage and teleport through bullets to stab someone who is out of range of a melee is kind of bullshit. But, as I said, that's the only thing that really bothers me.Kirbymike said:
Dude, I'm all for it. Vietnam is a shade of grey in an otherwise black and white world. Hell, I'dve like to see Korea. Imagine, tens of thousands of Red Chinese versus The U.S. and her south Korean allies in a single battle. Running out of ammo and grabbing for a weapon, then running out again and grabbing for a melee weapon.
ehhhhhhh...well, alright. As long as they don't screw the pooch I'd give it some consideration.
Bored now bored bored bored all these games are going to be just the same yer maybe set in nam but can realy see the diffrence to waw apart from weapons and the enemys speek a diffrent language.
Press X to bludgeon innocent civilian #214 to death! Yeahhhhh!
Seriously though, if this game has a grain of realism, all the missions will focus on looking for VC, finding no VC, razing the place anyway, getting shot by 20 guys you can't see.
Of course, the game won't be like that, but it'll be chock full of the 'gritty realism' that I'm starting to get really tired of in games. But, of course, it won't be realism, just 'pretend' realism. If that makes sense.

What worries me the most about this choice is that Vietnam was a whole other deal compared to WW2 and modern day conventional warfare. Even the Pacific Front in WW2 was no where near Vietnam in how the war played out and the kind of fighting done in Vietnam doesn't seem very conducive to fast-paced FPS action.
Obviously, VietCong (the game) proved that you can make a good game about the Vietnam War. But VietCong had a very diffrent pacing from the Call of Duty series. Where Call of Duty has always been about fast paced, cinematic action sequences.
Of course, there was many stages in the Vietname War. But I wonder just how well the iconic Jungle Warfare can be made into the kind of game that CoD-fans have come to expect. At worst it will be just another MW2 but with diffrent textures.

Except for the fact that America looses this War, they didn't use Napalm in the Philippines (but that would have livened up the pacific war), and the fact that the Vietcong ripped everyone's limbs off with sharpened bamboo sticks. Oh and WaW doesn't have a level where you Agent Orange the countryside of some Vietnamese town.Kramcake2516 said:
