I've got a Ti4400 with the 6.1.7.7 drivers and still have white out graphics. Anyone in the same boat? (4X AGP, 512Meg RAM, ASUS A7V266, AMD 1500)

No idea what happened then, oh well Edit didnt work either....

Anyways, its a shame about this game, I really wanted to like it and I really tried but it becomes hard work. The major two gripes I have is the AI and nojump(tm) feature.

You can stand next to the VC and they will ignore you. Othertimes you are being shot in the back and when you turn around one of your teammates is standing next to a VC scratching his bum whilest you are getting shot. mmmm. Plus you can see them spawn which is a bit pooey.

The no jumping is terrible. Absolutely awful. Why cant you jump over a small log? It was really funny to see that the level designers had a path leading away from an area and to stop you from going down the path did they put a huge swamp? no, they put a small one foot high piece of twig supported by 2 crossed twigs. And I mean twigs not logs. Jesus

Ammo becomes a major problem on some levels, especially the one where you have to grab a VC leader. I ended up with 10 rounds of tommy ammo because no VC's were dropping guns for me to pick up until almost the final scene.

Multiplay is boring. There is certainly no reason to muliplay on this. I will stick to vietcong for multiplayer vietnam.

Sorry but I wouldnt bother with this game, sure the story seems to be good and the visuals are nice but it become a drag to play it.

As a final note does the menu screens and HUD remind you of a low compression JPG? They just look nasty.

Never argue with an idiot. They will drag you down to their level and beat you with experience.

The latest 66.77 drivers are supposed to fix the Geforce 4 white textures problem. About VC... VC unquestionably has better A.I.. No contest. But as far as I am concerned tho, overall I find MoV tips the balance in its favor over VC. I won`t bother going into the specifics, cause it doesn`t matter really.

I'm I the only (other) one who gets graphics (my leafs are washed out too) corruption in this game? Awful pop-up and what looks like a fog effect that is just not working?

To me (with my GeForce4 Ti4400, *not* overclocked) the game is unplayable in it's current state.

Oh well. The Xbox demo sent me into a deep snooze after a few minutes (of thinking how badly the "Medal of Honor" style gameplay is aging).

The VUG servers still need updating. lol Hard to believe but yeah. Anyways, I was totally suspect of the game after trying the demo. But I took the chance and got MoV. And I am a pretty picky buyer/player to boot. And I am as well enjoying the game immensely.

I watched the vid interviews where 2015 said they did alot of research. But everything I have seen so far ingame anyways is a blatant rip of either Apocalypse Now, Platoon, or We were Soldiers. LOLOL Nothing wrong with that tho. I love those movies.

Are there niggles? Hell yeah:

no limited jump... I have many times now run into areas where a low jump over ground debri would have been nice. In this day and age there is no reason to not include a limited jump. No logical reason. Surely game devs don`t pin all of their gameplay on the fact that there is no limitedcjump,and that if there was one, the gameplay would suffer for it?? Not likely.

no ironsights... for mid to long range shooting, ironsights are preferable, and there is absolutely no logical reason to not have em in this type of game.

A.I., they do some goofy stuff, like my own team loves to run into MY LOF=line of fire. Plus I am not the squad leader, yet they follow ME around at times I wish they wouldn`t. lol The list of A.I. gaffs is huge. But there are many times the A.I. DOES do alot right.

triggers..... if you are not standing in the right spot, it may take you awhile to find that spot. hehhhehhe The list of gaffs goes on. But the game rocks for me inspite of the lacking areas. The mp maps are stunning. Tho I`d prefer it if some of the maps had a less tight choke point here and there.

The sp missions are interestingly done, even tho the recipe they used has been done many times before. The voice acting is liveable.

the widescreen cutscenes... I dunno wtf the dev teams head is at, but not all of us want to play a movie. I`d prefer it if the scripted scenes happened in real time without my screen going into a widescreenlike mode. IMHO for me anyways, that pulls me out of the immersiveness. *shrugs* Not to mention those letters home. An ok idea, but I`d like to skip em asap and get back into the mission I am replaying.... again. ;p

Hard to believe, but VC has been dethroned as far as I am concerned as the top Nam game. MoV may not do it for some, but it sure pushed the right buttons for me. Even WITH the niggles.

Just played the single player mission all the way through, and I'm not impressed. The only thing in the game that stood out was the fire effect when they zippo the villiage. It's probably the best fire effect I've ever seen in an FPS. The gameplay, however, is nothing special. Just another FPS war game clone.

I was given the impression this wasn't early in the war and these guys aren't Green Berets, which were the first American troops in Vietnam.

Something just doesn't seem right.

Why aren't they using m14s and m16s?
Skimping on art resources?
In the era of Vietnam this is set, the guys didn't use WW2 rifles & machine guns.


actually they used them alot during the earlier war

I don't know, I think Vietcong did this better, and the MP was a lot better.

didnt you notice they had a thompson in vietcong?

Over in general though, not really impressed. Very contained feel although some of it's kinda pretty. It looks like they are trying a bit too hard to shock you as well.

Yeah...I could have gone the easier 'troll' route of simply posting "OMFG THIS GAEM SUX0RZ!!! LOLOLOL!!!lll". But I do generally prefer to give reasons *why* a game doesn't impress. Plus I'm not terribly fluent in 'trollish'

Sadogoat, wow - you managed to post the exact same thing in at least three different forums within minutes of each other. Don't you forum trolls have a bloody life?

I'll reply to this one as well, just to say that at least the original poster had some actual substance in his post.

I purchesed this game the day it came out because I had faith in 2015 since MoHAA was so good. I am not disappointed. I only have a few gripes like lack of in game saves(thanx to the xbox for that one) and no jumping (this is it's weakest point! Jumping is a must!) Playing through the levels is very much like MoH was and it has the same pace. If only this game was a PC game ported to the xbox instead of the other way around it would've been much better. The soundtrack is also fantastic, it really adds alot to the game's atmosphere. I haven't seen anybody on multiplayer since I bought it, I'm thinking this must be a problem with the master server or something... even if it game isn't that popular yet there would still be SOME people playing it. Has anyone else who bought the game seen any servers yet?

News flash: Not everyone goes to more than one news site so I post opinions on more than one - is there some rule somewhere that says opinions must be 'exclusive' to one site or set of forums? Evidently you hang around them all to take such notes - don't you have a life? Oh wait...you like trolling forums to accuse other people of being trolls. Nice irony. But gee golly...it's almost midnight here - what am I supposed to be doing 'for a life' at this time? Wanking to porno movies?
