What for me sets BFV and its sister games apart (I own BF2 but not BF1942) is that you can also operate different land, sea and airbased vehicles. Graphics-wise I understand BFV is a great improvement over BF1942 but DFX/JO is still superior in that regard. I'm probably in a minority here but I prefer the Delta Force Xtreme (DFX) and Joint Operations (JO) gameplay in that you have much of the freedom of BFV (or BF2) but with task-oriented missions rather than just attack and/or defend bases. A summary screen shows how many enemy you have dispatched and how many times you have been resurrected.
If you die you pick a new spawn point which, depending on your progress, may be your original base or a captured one. Points (or tickets) are gained/lost for eliminating enemy units and capturing bases (or flags). Most games seem to follow this pattern and consequently can become somewhat repetitive. So during an average game there is a lot of capturing, losing and recapturing of bases. Your mission is essentially to capture the enemies bases and defending your own and captured ones. So now between bouts of GRAW and SOF2 I have found myself again indulging in the odd BFV mission and am finally prepared to conclude my review.īasically the gameplay in BFV revolves around selecting your weapon load-out kit and selecting a "spawn point" which is usually one of a number of friendly bases.
especially after I downloaded and installed some of the great MODs and MAPs that are available at the various fan or gaming websites (more on this below). Recently my son set aside his RTS games and wanted to try an FPS, I suggested he give BFV a go. However I got into playing several other FPS and tactical shooter games and put BFV on the backburner. I then played the excellent story driven Men of Valor (Sierra) and thoroughly enjoyed the experience and felt a return to the wet green and orange skies was in order. Anyway I played it for a while and became a bit jaded with the gameplay and I guess lack of variety, despite the various "historical" engagements depicted.
I had read various reviews of it and its sister games in the Battlefield (BF) series and was somewhat ambivalent prefering story/mission driven FPS games. I agree…….By Perth2008 | Review Date: June 12, 2009īought this game a while ago as I've always been interested in the Vietnam conflict mainly because I was a youngster when it happened and have since absorbed all the popular culture about it (that is Hollywood's various takes on the Vietnam War). I can also tell you a lot of people believe this mod should be completed and released. I can tell you I have played an early build and I fell in love with it. Until we reach that point, I cannot tell you a date. Ben is going to work with us on this, but ultimately it depends on what we have left to do and how long it takes us to get it done. Because of this, we may be hard pressed to get QA time until after BF2 has been released. EA/DICE is working hard to get Battlefield 2 out the door. You may be wondering when we think this mod will be released. For just a while, can you work with us to make this happen? Would you be willing to help us get this project out the door? The community wants it. I know this is unprecedented, but I would like to issue a request of all the Battlefield mods who have experience with BFV. If you are an experienced modder, please contact me and let me know what skills you have and what type of time you think you could provide in the Month of June. We may need some experienced help from the Battlefield Community to get this done before BF2 is released.
Right now, we are working to figure out what is really left to do, what must be fixed and who can help us get it done. I can not say if that is true or not, but I do know there are some show stopping bugs that must be addressed before another build is presented to EA. I know the previous lead said the project was 98% complete. I am doing what I can to revive the team that has worked so hard on this project. I talked to Ben at EA about taking over this project and he was fine with that.
