In BFV, you have essentially 8 different kits to choose from, compared to only 5 in BF1942. We have created an interesting mix of kits that should really expand on the core BF1942 balance without stretching it too much. For instance, weâve added the mortar to a kit, which really opens up a ton of new strategies on the Pacific maps. And of course, adding armed passengers to vehicles like the jeeps, landing craft, and PT boat rafts makes these vehicles much more fun to use.
Played it vs. bots this afternoon for about 20 minutes. Seems pretty cool. Could not locate the Flamethrower though and was highly disappointed. Likely going to play a bit later on tonight for a while and will be on TS if I am.
just got done playing on our server... Atomm, where were you? Ended up with sarge, blueguy, myself and about 6-8 other players on at once. Over all I like it; however, they really should have got different maps... I mean come on IOTP as one of the maps!!!! Geez
I love IOTP and the jungle looks the best on that map.
I've seen a few things I didn't care much for. The cockpits of the planes for one. They look really bad. The M1 has a cartoon look to it. I kind of get the feeling they focused on the maps and jungle more than anything. It would have been cool if they had hired Merciless Creations to do the character models. :-) I noticed the vehicles handle a lot differently. The Chi-Ha freaking flies and it can turn on a dime. Overall, the engine feels a lot better than 42. I hope more maps come out for this.
I don't see why someone couldn't do a desert map and use the foliage in the towns, sort of oasis like.
dude, it isn't that bad. However I did take a look at Iwo Jima and for the US you have no bleed at all. Have to learn how to drop bombs again, and the US Aircraft carrier doesn't respawn if it goes down. If it does respawn it takes FOREVER!!!
I'm not liking this one bit. Honestly, it's a good translation but it only reminds me of why I don't play 1942 anymore. I just don't like the vehicles and weapons and speed of everything. I'll wait for a BFV DC mod. Am I correct in that I only saw 3 maps?
I'm the exact opposite. I love the weapons and vehicles. They feel even better on the new engine. I just love the WWII aspect. The brush is so freaking cool. I have not had so much fun on Iwo Jima. Sneaking up the hill using the tree's and grass was intense. Great Rush!
The flamethrower is awesome. Doesn't do much damage, but fun as hell. I just lit up like 5 guys trying to take the hill.
