Is it just me, or is it very hard to do excessively well on a consistent basis in Vietnam?

Ok, first off, I know a good majority of my failures is due to me playing with fucking shit for brains randoms, but back in vanilla, I was able to do A LOT better on a more constant basis than I ever could in Vietnam. I think part of the reason is that you die so damn fast, be it from PBR's or the sniper SMG's. Another probable reason is due to the way the maps are set up. It seems 3 out of 5 of the maps are jungle reincarnations of fucking Port Valdez. If you lose that center flag, well sucks to be you, because you'll NEVER get it back....ever. It really irritates me that DICE keeps making these shit for maps that are so damn linear. I mean I got BF for what massive maps that makes you feel small in comparison, if I wanted closed confined maps, I'd go play COD or Halo.

It doesn't help that a lot of the maps seem to promote useless wookie tactics (and there is a difference between a fucking wookie and a Recon player, as most of you do know) The spawn camping runs rampant in Vietnam or so it seems. The only map that I enjoy so far without any complaints is Phu Bai Valley, and that is the only map I actually consider a true blue BF map, because it really is a fucking battlefield!

DICE...you seriously need to fire you dev teams that came up with these maps...I mean really, stop trying to be two different games. CODMW2 tried that and they failed, miserably might I add.

I never play rush, due to the fact that I personally hate it. I've tried to like it, I really have, but time after time after fucking time, I get screwed over because of stupid randoms. When I do play with some friends, there usually isn't enough of us to make a difference sadly.

What pisses me off most, is that when a match begins to go south for your team, what do they do? Do they step it up a notch to try and break the enemy lines? Hell no, that would make too much sense! They instead start scratching their balls and sit back and try to snipe the rest of the match, while me and benny joe over there are desperately trying to get a flag back while trying to do something a 12 man group should be doing.

If I knew more people on the PS3, I'd invite them to games, but unfortunately, the ones I do know don't care for shooters anymore.

My best tanker buddy, and I do say he was the BEST tanker partner you could have bailed on me. So now I'm stuck with monkeys to drive with.

My appologies for me raging, but I just went through 3 matches of complete and utter shit, and I'm just trying to vent....

That's pretty much how I run. I got a co-worker that I usually run with. He's ok as a tank gunner, but I miss my other friend whom we just steam rolled people with.

If my two friends would come back, we'd have a squad of 4, that's 1/3 of the team right there!

It's a shame I didn't get back into the 360 version, otherwise I'd play with you guys when I'd get the chance. Sure would have been nice to have people who are smarter than the dirt they're standing on.

I'm not a person to get too riled up about K/D but when you drop from 2.24 to 2.16 and still falling, it really gets old, and it starts to get to me that the ONLY reason this is happening is because of shit for brains randoms...and terrible map designs.

Hell, if my friends had rigs that could of handled it back in the day, I'd have gotten BC2 for PC. I'll tell you this much though, I won't be buying BF games for the console anymore if I can help it. The tiny populations really screw with game balance. Losing just one person can make or break your team, or at least that's how it seems.

I'll agree with you there, but I must confess, the 32 vs 32 matches were ALWAYS a blast back in BF2' days.

To be honest, vietnam isn't a dlc to take seriously. It's just to screw around because the amount of effing recons in sao cao temple that were attacking was STUPID because they never moved and only sniped from the same rocks. I just can't see that DLC to be a serious one.. Only for fun.

I quit playing 'Nam because of all these issues. I am back with the randies in Vanilla because everyone is IN 'Nam...OR WATCHING MOVIES!

I actually think my K/D is just a hair higher in Vietnam than vanilla. But mine isn't as high as 2.24. There are a lot of maps that will force you die over and over, but since I've played with the SeC I'm useually on the winning team, so most of these map flaws have worked in my favor. Not to mention I'm an infantry guy in the first place, so the lack of vehicles doesn't effect me as much. So I kinda cheated the system

Pfft dying is over rated.

If you kill me 6 more will take my place!

I like the horde moments in Vietnam, when half your team is actually doing the same thing (the objective).


I think the narrowed map design was meant to encourage teamwork but the lowered health and lack of smoke grenades/vehicles kind of defeats the purpose and instead encourages camping and shit.

Honestly I think I do better in vietnam than in vanilla not sure of the reason I generally use iron sights though so I might just be more used to them then other people.

Its kinda hard to do excessively well on a consistent basis in any game...

Unless youre some sort of FPS god.
