Well, if you are feeling queer, you can use Windows Media player.

BF:Vietnam also has built in music playing capabilities, though you have to be in a vehicle to make use of them (which unfortunately may add to vehicle camping).

Stunaep, yeah you're right about Q3s lack of substance - but as a twitch shooter it's probably still one of the smoothest out there. The UT brand seems to be trying to compromise between that and vehicle warfare... but right now I just don't think it has it right.

For now, only renegade really has vehicles down right, imho. Well balanced and easy to control.

[Fineus]

Not actually disagreeing with you at all... but BF1942s feel very well balanced indeed... and they're easy as hell to control with a few exceptions / issues (tanks taking damage from standing one foot in water? Yeah..)

[J3Vr6]

Well, I can't play the game anyway even if I did have a phone.  You need a minimum of a 64 meg graphics card (who wants to play at the minimum specs anyway?) and I only have a geforce 2 mx 32 megger...

Oh well, it was a tease.

[Fineus]

Apparently, it's complicated

I'll assume you're talking of the Q3 scene nowadays...
'course, back in the old days, the Q2 was full of cretins as well, except in Q2 you had more ways of keeping them down

Renegade is a fun game overall, I'll grant oyu that, but other than the MP mode I don't think there's much to it... Somehow the game feels hollow IMO.

Don't buy BF:V..... I did, and it's a buggy mess.  Great gameplay, sure - but the program itself is monumentally ****ed up.... I get lag on singleplayer.

[Knight Templar]

Eghh

*loosens collar*

[Fineus]

aldo_14 does have a point, there's work to be done and no mistake (multiplayer ranges from smooth as anything.. almost singleplayer) to slow-as-heck with judders and lag like nothing I've seen before.

That said, it's great fun to play.

Wasn't 1942 a mess when it was first released though?

[Fineus]

Very, yes.

Actually my biggest gripe with the game isn't that the performance can be iffy. It's that they completely raped the radio commands. Everything is gone! You can't even say the stuff you used to be able to, which was really useful! It's bloody rediculous.

[Gloriano]

few days ago I did buy BF:V and I'am kinda dispointed because of bug's.

What stuff?

[Fineus]

Well as far as I can tell, the selection is limited to F1 through F8 for a variety of commands. But I'm not even sure you can specify what kind of enemy you've seen anymore (in BF1942 you could yell "enemy ship spotted". There's no such command in BF:V).

Also, some of the lag really is terrible. I just came off a server based in the West Midlands in Britain (about 400 miles at most from where I live). I had a ping of 500 at times.

It has issues still.

Well, the 'complex' radio commands are disabled by default, so maybe that's it (you can defo call out stuff like 'enemy armour spotted', etc.  

EDIT - try checking the 'expanded radio commands' in the profile screen

Lag... I don't get 'ping lag' - it's the actual gfx engine that lags for me.  i.e. the fps oscillates, sometimes halving...... as if there was heavy lag. It's apparently a very common problem - there's a myriad of posts on it on the planetbattlefield forums.

It is, to be fair, a great game - when it works properly.  The problem is that it doesn't .

I like the new "radio"

Returned it after 4 days..... I can;t be bothered to wait on a patch which may or may not fix it - especially when the developers have **** all idea what is going wrong.
