Normally I'd harp on the thread spamming but BC2 is really the next best thing to Counter-strike. The Maps are big but not too big. More players than CoD and with less bullshit and hacking.
Really if you haven't played this game for $6 you're really missing out.
However imo Vietnam is crap. Could not find one thing to love about it.
Smoking deal.

Is Medal of Honor worth $15? I never actually picked that one up.
I liked airborne, both the single and mp
Airborne was under-rated and overlooked. It's a very solid game and a no-brainer at these prices.
The BC2 deal is mind boggling.
Now, I know I'm going to get into trouble for this, and I know not to expect much believe me, but for $15, yeah, I bought that new MOH that's supposedly so wretched. For $15, I just want a quick "game in between games" FPS fix. I wouldn't have paid more than that for it.

What was so bad about MOH that made everyone hate it so much?

It would only be worth it if EA paid you $15 to play it.
I dont understand the pricing on BC2. The steam deals are usually fair to everyone but australians, but in this sale and the last time BC2 was on sale, it has been a low 6$ for americans and a whooping 13,60€ for us europeans. Bought it anyway tho, great game

Incredibly generic with no redeeming features whatsoever. Its was hyped up to hell and back as a return to MoH's gameplay roots but turned out to be no better than any other shitty rehash released by EA after MoH:AA (best WW2 game ever!).
Seriously the only good thing about owning MoH:LE is the fact that I am guaranteed a beta invite to BF3.
Goes hand in glove with my post here: http://hardforum.com/showpost.php?p=1037227939&postcount=106
MOHAA is still one of my all time favorite games and FPS's. That's the game I got reared on to become a full fledged PC gamer.
So this is personal for me. For $15, I want to see this thing for what it is and put it down/send it off myself if you know what I mean.

No you're wrong! I liken the game play to a finely tuned version of Duck Hunt. Everybody gets into their camping positions. Now fire upon the fools that think they are going to make it out of the hangar to us.
Which about sums up the game play.
I bought mine for the Beta invite also. Don't tell anyone I own this garbage.

Goddamit
caved for for BFBC2 on steam and Airborne. Game looks pretty good. If it's even as good as the other bargin bin stuff like necrovision and Cryostasis I'm sure I'll be satisfied.

Heh, I might do the same. Can't figure out why I'm too lazy to go grab the ea downloader, remember my login, and dl it that way, but I've definitely passed on reinstalling a few times because of that.

the game is fun, i love driving the tanks, i am a very good tank driver, so it's for fun me.
I love blowing tanks up! Especially with a squad of engi. Instant death for all vehicles.

Damn this was depressing. The multiplayer is a decent "BC 2 Lite" but the single player is an utterly painful abomination. It's telling that I'm feeling bad about even spending $15 on this.
Truly an ignominous end to a once great series. RIP.

I like Vietnam. There is one map where the objective makes a clusterfuck around 2 boulders. Nothing like suicide bombing with a flame thrower in there. Had one match where my whole team followed my lead with flame throwers. Epic fun!
But yea no sniping allowed in Vietnam. Unless you're a badass, cool under pressure shot. The minuscule amount of cover is well known by both teams and you're subject to being overrun quickly. But the other weapons are pretty darn fun to use and I got good mileage from the game. Just not a lot of people playing it however.
And in truth multiplayer games are all about how many matches you can get into at your skill level when you're ready to play. I find plenty that suit me, but I'm not a great FPS player. If I can get a few cool kills per match I'm happy.

I had to see it for myself. One of those morbid fascination/got to take the horse out in the back and do this deed myself kind of thing.
I'm sad.
And angry at seeing such a great series get shat on so abysmally. To something that came up earlier: I can easily and gladly recommend Medal of Honor Airborne. They should have let that be the last game in the series and it would have just been better all the way around.
Cao Son Temple Rush? I love that bit it's insane

Sorry - late to the party but I have to respectfully disagree. A "map pack" signifies that all you are getting is maps. Vietnam has all new weapons, vehicles, music, and yes maps. It's amazingly well done. Some maps don't have as much cover, but that's war. Stick with your tank if you need it.
It's well worth 15 bucks, one of the best mutiplayer expansion packs I've played. It also macks it more fun to mix up regular Battlefield with some Vietnam.

It's on sale right now at Direct2Drive for $9.97. If you redeem the code given through the EA Download Manager, it will give you the Digital Deluxe Edition (includes Vietnam DLC).
Airborne was great, but anyone getting it should be aware of some potential patching issues on W7. I played it recently and could only play out of the box, as no patches would apply. Unfortunately it's just old enough that EA don't seem to care about fixing this, so you might be stuck without MP.
I'm with this guy. Vietnam does big smelly runny poos all over vanilla BC2 in my opinion. The hit reg and damage model seems tighter and more rewarding. The only thing I dislike about it is the tanks vs helis issue.

It is an excellent expansion but like most BF expansion packs, there is less activity. Also, the tanks vs heli issue is stupid. Way too easy to nail choppers with a tank. Pretty easy in vanilla bc2 too but not like nam.
Pity b/c it is a good game. There is cover but in some maps there is serious chokepoint issues.

?
You think a 90 mm high explosive shell shouldn't drop an unarmored chopper in one shot?
Dont't stay head on to the tank and you're not very likely to get nailed.

It isn't the damage to the helicopter, it is the ease of hitting it in the first place. In Vietnam it isn't too difficult to hit choppers regardless of whether they are coming at you head on or not.
They fucked with the heli hitbox in Nam from what I can tell. You can fire a shell at a helicopter and completely miss it by a mile and it will still register as a hit. The best heli pilots do some weird flying bunnyhop-style shit that makes it harder to hit them.
