Battlefield Vietnam Patch Status

[Apr 30, 2004, 3:20 pm ET] - Share - Viewing Comments

The Battlefield Vietnam Website (thanks BattleField Central) has a status report on the eagerly anticipated first patch for Battlefield Vietnam, saying the version 1.01 update "has entered the home stretch here at EA and should be ready for release in the very near future....While future Battlefield Vietnam updates will include game features that were added to Battlefield 1942 post-ship (such as the Voting GUI), v1.01 is intended to address community related issues." The update goes on to detail server fixes, and the following incomplete list of client fixes:

  • Sort by Ping fixed in Server Browser
  • Scrollbar fixed in Server Browser
  • Soldier prediction fixed to remove jerky movements when walking/jumping
  • M60 removed from the LAW kit and replaced with M14
  • M60 and RPD min/max bullet deviation increased when standing/moving
  • M60 and RPD max bullet deviation decreased slightly when prone
  • Rate of fire and velocity of M60/RPD adjusted
  • Player movement speeds on Heavy Assault kits reduced slightly
  • Network overhead of vehicle engines and airlifting significantly reduced
  • Added minimap warning icon when enemies are within capture radius of an opposing team flag

@ DDI: I've seen that argument too, but it seems like a copout. There are plenty of people online who actually use voicechat productively, and IMO it's worse having garbage spam your screen than your speakers. As you say, it can simply be turned off if it's really that bad. And how hard is it to let people choose which players they can hear and which ones they can't? That would be a lot less inconvenient than forcing us to resort to cumbersome third-party voice software (you can't really argue that it doesn't enhance gameplay quite a bit when it's well used).

It's just straight slackin' what we've got here. I'm glad they're focusing on getting the actual gameplay unfucked first, but the overall package definitely needs some polish.
