The Mess Hall

The general consensus on ea forums for this, is that battlefield bad company is:

= small map orientated.
- upped bullet damage (moh style)
- 1 map with vehicles
- out of bounds areas in rush and conquest
- tanks are overpowered
- huey helicopter is a flying cardboard box.
- weapon recoil same as moh (hardly any)
- rush maps seem to favour defense due to some out of bounds areas
- spawn protection (you can't go near enemy base)
- no destruction 2.0 (not all bad though i guess)
- feels cod-like.

this doesn't seem like a battlefield game/expansion to me.
After watching vids, it looks alright but some of the weapons/recoil/handling looks like copy pasta from moh..

not sure if i'll buy actually.

not really heard any good comments apart from the enviroments look nice, but again small.

LOL bollocks. If I don't see you on Vietnam, I'll eat my sprouts on Xmas...

im still in i wont get to play properly until towards the end of december so if any problems show up they might get fixed

lool i had sprouts tonight and a lovely cooked dinner me old mum made, mmm lol.

Anyways, yeah not to sure yet, alot of negatives at the moment and i don't think i want an add on bf1943, we'll see.. but i am not in favour of vietnam right now.

C'mon Sy admit it your only hating because the Huey is a flying paper box. lol

I'm more concerned about the maps!
We have had enough cod-like maps in vanilla.

Decided to get it but there are probs only 2 decent maps in this, operation hastings and phu bai valley, the others look coddy and cramped.

We'll see, try it and then comment, but i'll be fucked playing cod maps, we have enough of that on what is now codfield already.

Where the big heavy metal/harvest day like maps!

To be fair, Vietnam is always going to be about cramped fighting because it just was that kind of war. No much in the way on huge pitched battles - more dirty guerilla fighting.

first impression...

Its good, the maps i have played (All of them) are pretty decent - apart from coa san temple because it is nothing but linear straight line chokepoint.

Huey pwns ass, dont know why people complain about them, they are probs just shitty pilots.

Tanks are powerful, weapons seem ok.

It's a good job i don't listen to much to forum and twitter trolls.
I had to try it for myself and i am glad i did/am.

PMSL you nearly didn't buy it based on forum trolls...

Yeah well these guys play the game for 100's of hours so when they started saying it was shit i was getting a bit worried.

But it turns out its alright, for ten quid.

glad i bought it now.
Just had epic game in huey - rush - phu bai valley map

I'm finding several maps on both Rush and Squad Rush are very attack/defence orientated, very much like MoH.
Attackers are funneled down one or two very narrow routes, meaning the defenders are just shooting fish in a barrel.
Same for some attacking maps. Defenders get slaughtered.

The Weapons are fine though, no overkill on any particular setup.
But there's a problem with class setups, it wont save between Vietnam and BFBC2 vanilla, and sometimes even vietnam class changes mean you have to select your perks all over again. Very annoying.

I think the choppers are too easy to shoot down, and you can't repair them internally if you are an engineer.

Lag seems to be an issue (surprise!), it's fine if you go lone wolf, but as a squad of 2 or more, it struggles to find a local server. But thats nothing new, it's been like that since BFBC1.

Overall, it's meh, nothing really amazing. Just new maps, models, weapons, vehicles, and problems.

But is it worth £10...?

Is it worth a tenner? Personally no. It's no more than a glorified map pack with some bolt on stuff. But Sy/Dave will probably disagree as he'll no doubt get more out of it than I will.
