Where the original topic started...without further adieu...

It starts now:

Since I know there are quite a few german community members I´ll post the link to the original article: http://www.gamestar.de/news/pc-spiele/action/16799/

During the GDC Johan Perreson, Lead Designer of BF 1942 took a critical review of the developement of BF 1942.
He admits DICE made many mistakes, some due to the fackt that Publisher EA forced them to make many comprimises so it would appeal to a larger audience.
Some critical features had to be taken out because of time reasons. DICE originaly planed to insert:

-destructable terrain, buildings and spawn-points
-Parachute controls
-dynamic multiplayer-battles
-beeing able to fire as a passenger
-A voice-com. system
-Vehicle formations

Also EA froced DICE to take out lots of japanese, british and russian vehicles in order to improve the performance. Also DICE had planned more realistic vehicle controls, but Johan admits, that EA was propably right by forcing them to make vehicles easy to control.

Well, thats what I could summ up for you. Looks like BFV has some of the features planned for BF 1942, but it still putts EA into a negative light...

I thought some trees in Battlefield Vietnam could be destroyed. It was mentioned in an interview somewhere. But the fact that some silly tree stops your tank is just stupid in every which way.

I think that some of those aspects of BF1942 are quite annoying. As Ngame said, it is stupid that trees and other dumb things stop your tank.

I've never seen one pass an IQ test!

I really was hoping to see built in voice com in BFV.
BTW, I have never seen a tree fail an IQ test either, since you can't fail or pass IQ tests.
You can score as low as a stupid tree though!

Who are we trying to fool - if you score in the "Idiot" range on the IQ test, all euphemisms aside, you've failed.

You really don't want a built in voice comm.. Having to download and install teamspeak acts as a smacktard filter.

Try playing some UT2004 and listening to someone singing the entire match cause he hates the current map.

Screw that, I'm hoping to someday score in the 'idiot' range. Till then I'll keep studying and work toward rising above my current IQ range: tree !

OMG when I was playing the UT2K4 demo there was a smacktard flaming everyone so I told him to shut up becaus ehe sounded like a lil kid, so he said he wanted to fight in raptors with me, so I got in a raptor and shot him down in less then a minute :blow:

. He then prompty left and everyone was like. Hurrah! Easy to shoot someone down who can't dodge them clunky missles. lol
