BF: Vietnam GOLD!

[[AK]Palooka]

EA is pleased to announce that Battlefield Vietnam has officially gone gold for the PC. The game is set to ship nationwide to retailers under the EA GAMES brand on Monday, March 15.

The Battlefield franchise is entering a new era with more firepower and beautiful yet ferocious new combat settings. Offering an arsenal of weapons and vehicles authentic to the Vietnam conflict, players will battle in first-person perspective. Staying true to the over-the-top, action-packed multiplayer style that gave Battlefield 1942 its critical and commercial success, Battlefield Vietnam will drop players into some of the Vietnam War’s fiercest battles. Fighting in theatres from jungles surrounding the Ho Chi Minh Trail to the city streets of Hue, players will choose from two well-equipped forces, the United States or the North Vietnamese Army (NVA) and Vietcong. All of this action will be accompanied by the sounds of an authentic Vietnam era soundtrack to immerse the player into an experience similar to that of a Hollywood film.

Battlefield Vietnam was developed by Swedish based Digital Illusions' Canadian office and is rated “T” (Teen) by the ESRB. The game’s official website is www.battlefield.ea.com

I can't wait!!

Once the game does come out, will the server go from DC to BF:V?

[[AK]Nuts]

Good question. I've got BFV on order and don't want to play solo... I want to enjoy the newness with you guys. But at the same time, I certainly don't want to take down the DC server just for a few of us. Any recommendations?

[[AK]StitchJones]

Can Palooka bring up an additonal server to run along side the DC server? Or if that is not possible, who has a good amount of bandwidth to house a server?

Well I am going to get it so I can get back into the gaming arena with you guys. I finally have a lil more time on my hands so I can fill it with gaming fun. I was going to do DC but I am so far behind the curve I would just be a walking target. Better to start off with a new game.

[[AK]Palooka]

Yes, I can host both.

I can't wait. I won't be doing any organized competitions but man this looks like a blast.

Will we be able to blare Ride of the Valkiries from the helecopter speakers as we fly over head? Would be cool if you could do that so the enemy on the ground could hear it too.

I have a feeling I'll be joining in on this game too, as well has hopping back to DC (I don't need any of the expansions for that, right?)..

Anyway, EQ has become a bore... I have Cable internet access at home now.. and my RvS still isn't working..
