[MiND] Lives? Maybe?
I ended up getting Battlefield: Vietnam yesterday. It's awesome!! I'm having a blast playing it. I've mentioned a few things I like about it over at the Mindgrinders Website(www.grindyourmind.com). That's the website for the gaming clan that Ryan Hill(Fragger), Matt(Hellfire) and I(Flash switched to DataRez) started. This game is so fun I'd like to play with some of the guys if they have it. But I don't know how much traffic the site gets from any of the old guys anymore.
But what I didn't mention over at the MiND website about the game... The soundtrack! EA has really been working at getting game soundtracks on par with movie soundtracks by licensing popular music. Well it worked perfectly win BF:V. Nothing beats cruising in a jeep listening to a little CCR. Or flying a huey in nice and low around some palm trees while blasting "War! What is it good for?" The one down side is everyone around you can hear the music too. So it gives away your position pretty quick. But not a big deal sometimes because the motor noise would give you away anyway.
Right now I have the game graphics turned all the way down and the sound quality on medium. I need to spend more time investigating but I think a bad sound setting was causing bad framerate issues for me. But I went ahead and turned down the graphics at the same time because nothing stinks more than getting killed because of bad framerate.
