PM'ed.

I'm so tempted to bite on Vietnam for 600, but I don't know if people are going to be playing it as much as I want too.

searched... Couldn't find it. Is onslaught mode available with the Vietnam maps?

Not that I know of.

Digging the Flamethrower, but I keep trying to use it like I'm playing Killing Floor.

That'll happen after +230 hours of gameplay.

I decided to buy the Vietnam expansion. I'm banking on getting the hang of the online and having this $7.50 prove worth it in the end. CAG help would be appreciated. I won't be able to play online until this weekend. Anyone up for some online then? Perhaps Saturday night? I'm on the east coast. If you're up for it, and willing to help out a newb, send me a friend request: crunc is

if no one else is having an issue with connecting to EA servers, then its your connection.

reset your router and modem or turn off your power strip, then wait a couple of seconds then turn it back on again.

did you enter the VIP code? Download updates?

I bit. Pleasantly surprised at how good this was. Totally worth the 600 points. I, like others here had a little trouble logging on earlier. I think EA's servers went down for a little bit. Tried again 15 minutes later, and got on with no problem. Anybody on the fence should go for this one. I'm glad I did.

I had that problem around the same time you signed into XBL. I just shut it down for a half hour and it worked. Guessing EA servers were forked for awhile.

anyone up for some CAG onslaught/rush/nam...i'm up for anything tonight, I'll be on after 8:30ish...

I'm always down to play with some fellow CAG's. Just shoot me a friend request and we can NAM it up!

just got the vietnam for 600 yesterday and they had the onslaught mode for 200 also through this http://click.engage.xbox.com/?qs=6bd...483b24e82d58d9

Hi, i have the game on pc but like to play with a friend on the console.

My question is only this. What addon is worth buying (i might buy used). The onslaught mode i figure might be worth buying. But anything else?

Thank you.

p.s. i know the game is now kinda old, but i still play it to death.

I would have a tough time recommending Onslaught at full price. I think it's only 400 points now but I can't imagine anyone getting more than a couple hours of gameplay out of it. Onslaught is probably most useful as a tutortial for online without actually getting into online games. It's essentially co-op conquest with AI enemies. It does have online matchmaking although I haven't done it since it first came out so I'm not sure how many people are still playing it. I think that the half-off sale price was about right for this.

Vietnam is a great add-on. The price of full Battlefield content like this is largely irrelevant because of they amount of gameplay you're going to get out of it. 5 new maps and a bunch of new weapons and vehicles. What's not to like? Some might not like the lack of new kit unlocks but it's more of a BF1943-style with simplified loadoats and limited weapon choices. It sort of puts everyone on an even playing field.

I got the Spec Ops add-ons free during the Dr. Pepper promotion and I'm glad that it was free. I can't imagine really paying for this unless you really want a couple of extra weapons and achievements. Some of the weapons are even just skins of the top-level normal weapons in the kit. It's kind of neat to have a different look to your character and a weapon that lights up orange in your kit but I can't imagine spending money on this.

Just to be clear. If i get the normal game, i have the same like i have on the pc.
Vietnam is fun, but i can life with out it. I have it on pc.
Then i can cross out the addons.

Thanks for the info.

I will get BF3 on the Xbox i think.

So here's something weird, I basically have to rage quit to get out of any game on Vietnam. Even if it's just a "I've been playing for two hours and I want to go do something else now" kind of deal. Next time I logon, it says my "recent play" has made it such that I go down to zero rank. Then the next time I play it comes back but then I don't have weapon stats to keep track of trying to get the nerd points for that particular thing.

Very odd.
