Had a funny moment a short while ago, it was in a desert conquest map i cant recall the name of, something like arika harbor or whatever.
There are some large open distances between the objectives, and i was in the middle of one of these open patches, hiding behind a container or something because there was a tank right in front of my position i couldnt get past.
After waiting for some time the tank got damaged, and the crewman jumped out to repair the tank, which i saw happen.
He ran to the back of the tank for cover, so i ran toward the front of the tank and jumped in at the moment he hit the 100% mark and was ready to get back in. I then set the tank in reverse and crushed him as a thank you for his troubles :D

Somehow all the new maps seem to be extremely laggy. On every server where it says 20-30ping @serverlist I then have 100-150 ingame, which totally ruins the already floaty enough infantry experience

apparently that lag is related to punkbuster, and updating in manually will help.

As to vietnam to all those buying I'd say DO NOT PRE ORDER. Im quite sure there will be a christmas or boxing day sale on bc2 and vietnam combo, or vietnam for a couple bucks off.

The ping you see on the scoreboard is not the same with other games. What's displayed there is how long it takes for the server to receive, process and send the packets back to the client(latency). Not the usual "how long it takes a packet to reach the server"(ping). Divide it by 2 and you have roughly your average real ping.

Anything between 90-140 is pretty good.

You may be right but the sale probably wouldn't happen until two weeks after the preorder release and it's already only $15. Say the deal is at most 5 bucks off. I'll pay that extra 5 for two weeks of early play.

Long story short, removing a lot of the future tech and maps designed with Vietnam in mind makes for way more close encounters, and less long range dickery with heavy machine guns, assault rifles, ect....

Sounds like it could easily be more fun than BC2. I for one will be glad to never play Atacama Desert again in my ****ing life.

Yeah, 30 seconds or so told me it's still mostly BC2. I can't tell yet if I love or hate the ultra gritty UI. I definitely feel something for it though.

Its all right - maps are tighter and snipers less of an issue. For me its OK in small doses.

I thought it looked like a tacky mod from the preview videos but its actually very well presented.
