Does anyone else have this game and have a server that I could join on a regular basis so that I am at least familiar with the people there? Thanks.

i have it, i like it. but it gets greatly over shadowed by UT2004. so i hardly get a chance to play since im always on UT04.

Dont have a server for ya. sorry. just keep tryin around. Thats really why most games have friendly fire off. its just no fun for anyone, and even if its an accident they get all pissy.

I remember blowing up a friendly airplane in 1942 because the guy got to it before I did. Me and my friend who was sitting next to me started laughing, and I realized the guy was sitting right across me (I was in a net cafe). Then he did the same thing to me...

BTW, I don't know any servers because I haven't played it yet. Sorry for not helping...

I havnt played Vietnam, but i play battlefield 1942, and its the same problem (im guesing) that yuor teammates are jerks and kill you for a ride. Alll i say is kill them back and run, like youve never ran before...only for lack of a better idea.

Many of the bf1942 servers have friendlyfire off. On the occasion that there is a tkiller and he/she doesn't get boooted, i just ignore or leave. I hate it when punks start shooting back at tkiller's....it just fuels it.

And with vietnam, does it have the same bug issues that 1942 had on initial release? I was thinking of getting it but I don't know if I can justify paying the money right now when desert combat seems to play pretty nicely.

IT's a great game although I can't play online, damned army

i find it a lot less glitchy then Desert combat. and 1942 for that matter. Lot of things were fixed. it still has quite a bit of its own problems that need to be fixed tho. Something that coulda been addressed in a demo release if they wernt so stupid.

True. There is a huge glitch in Vietnam that they need to fix. Turning on AA/AF glitches the game like crazy on at least a 9800Pro. They address it as a known issue but yet they are too f*cking lazy to fix it. I have a 9800Pro and damnit, I should be able to play games good. But lazy dev's keep one of the best cards out right now from being able to play the game the way it was meant to.
