I would buy it if it was on steam. Sadly it is not.

I miss 2142 sometimes
Then I remember how laggy Titan mode could be and how broken pod surfing was, and I miss it less ;-)
I really, really hope DICE does a 2143 with the new Frostbite 2 tech.
Ah, that was going to be my other question. Is Vietnam worth the $15? Are there people playing it?
I dont know if I would have been happy paying $15 for Vietnam (having only paid $6.75 on BC2 probably influences that), but I got it for $5 from the EA Store since its just a cd key thing you enter in BC2. I dont know if this still works, but I used RecycleBank to get a $10 off EA purchase.
Its totally worth $5, even though there are no unlocks and your life expectancy in game is about the same as it was for actual soldiers during the Vietnam war. You can make a killing as a medic though.
So tonight I was playing on Oasis (conquest)and I convinced a friend to jump on with me. Holy shit a single person actually working with you makes a huge difference. 99% of the time i'm left to play on pubs alone cause no one i know is on/plays BC2 anymore. Which often leaves me annoyed at how bad everyone is (so bad), but anyways yeah BC2 is still awesome especially when playing with friends? .. not sure where i was going with this...
I'd absolutely love to see some of the maps and weapons from Vietnam merged into vanilla. I'd also love it if they dialed back the weapon damage to increase survivability in Vietnam.
Yeah, neither will ever happen, but don't deny me my futile dreams.

Anyways, much fun was had.
Are you playing on PC? Forbe and I play at night a lot, hop on vent and we're probably in there.
Ah, that was going to be my other question. Is Vietnam worth the $15? Are there people playing it?
Personally I would say no. i bought it played it a bit but it's really really basic kits no upgrades less of everything.
I like the maps a lot. I'm pretty annoyed that most people apparently gave up on it and went back to vanilla. Makes it a lot harder to find servers.
Which is exacerbated by the loadouts being reset when you switch between Vietnam/vanilla. Goddamn it, DICE.

So I turned HBAO back on, because I've had it off for *forever* due to some annoying mouse lag. So I changed my renderahead (3) to renderahead (0) and the lag's not so bad. It's still there, but holy shit, such a little change in the graphics can make such a huge difference to the feel of the game aesthetics. It's just so smooth. It looks like a fucking render, 24/7. Screenshots do not do it justice. Panama Canal looks downright amazing.
I'd turn my graphics up if it wouldn't stutter for 2 seconds every time the enemy arms the objective. I've become very attached to high, smooth fps after playing it on lowest settings (at full resolution of course) for so long. Also, low graphics settings makes enemies stand out more in distant foliage.
Edit: Hmm, removing the underclock on my video card and setting the renderahead to 0 did wonders. I shouldn't have forgotten about the underclock after the 40 °C summer. On another note, I'm sick of servers not scrambling. Does anyone know any server that judiciously autoscrambles or scrambles every round?

If there are any 360 BC2 players then I wouldn't mind having a TNC 360 chapter get it on tonight. If not I'll probably jump on PC tonight.
Question for shitty connection and/or oversea peoples: I am getting stationed in Alaska come this summer and my max connection is 3 Mbps/512 Kbps. How have you guys faired on multiplayer games based in the U.S.?

speaking as one who often deals with the lag due to living on an island far away, you can still play, but you will just need to use explosives more (blooper, grenades, etc) Seems to be pretty similar to COD in that respect
I think the bandwidth requirement is just a 256 / 50 Kbps connection?
You'll definitely have your inputs filed just a teensy bit later then everyone else so expect to rage as hard as Warcry; which will just lead to more avoiding reaction based confrontations I guess.

Magnum ammo combined with being on shitty wireless makes me rage so hard whenever I run into some retard humping a corner. Being killed just as I'm firing a rocket or grenade and it not existing is also really annoying.
I am getting back into this game. I keep seeing you guys talk about new maps. Is this DLC stuff I have to buy or does it come free of charge for the PC Steam version?
I'm not talking about the Vietnam stuff

Strangely, I almost always have massive hit detection issues with magnum ammo on buckshot or sniper rounds when playing on the PA server. If I switch to extended mags or something, most hits will generally be detected fine.

The ping difference between me and everyone else on the server does absolutely nothing to alter my playstyle, me being the colossal retard that I am. The only thing that happens is you learn to shoot in a particular direction, about a metre or so behind a sprinting person and about a foot behind someone strafing of just walking. The hitboxes get all kinds of fucked up with +250 ping.
In other news, my H70 has finally arrived. I'm installing it tomorrow. 4.0 ghz, here I come.
I've never seen a more terrifying picture in my life.
Also:
Try to make bodily contact with your date, then stare her eyes, then tell her a personal secret of yours. And keep staring. This will increase her oxytocin levels.
I think flared nostrils and red lips make you look more attractive. Any red clothing is also good.
If you can get a sample of her saliva, taste it to see if your immune systems are compatible before continuing.
whoops not oxycontin

Oh Yes, I would totally try those out if I had an interest in romantic endeavors.:whistle:

I wonder how many C4 / Land mines it took to launch it that far....
You must not be using extended mags and holding down the fire button.

We can make it Tuesday next week, though.

Why must you choose days that are bad for me? I start class at 1030pm EST on Tuesdays.
I get out of class at 1030pm EST.

But I met this girl. And she's quite cute. And I'm going out with her at 8pm CST. Also Anti doesn't want to hang out with me.
Why is your avatar so terrifying?
Oh shit. Sat is going to wet his dick tonight. Good luck "mang"
Is she Mexican?
I once guessed that a very beautiful woman I know was Mexican. She didn't take it very well, since she's Honduran.
I wanted to change it to
but the smaller size doesn't look good.
(My avatar is drawn by the same dude that did those eerie realistic mario pictures)
Edit:
Yes, she's Mexican. I told Anti he'd meet all my female friends but he still didn't want to come.
