Just wondered if some of u already tried the demo of Vietcong, its a new single/mp game based on the US/Vietnam war. When I tried the demo I was amazed by the map(s) I was in, jungle jungle jungle, very beautifull. Cant wait to get those textures to make a wolf jungle map.

To view the screenshots of Vietcong check here:

Believe me, downloading the Vietcong mp demo is more than worth a try, go get it here:

Ps: I know this has nothing to do with Wolf, but the demo made me wanna post this and let u know...

Thanx for the heads up. Good to try other type of war games.

I did play this alot. This is standard Take2 garbage.

We have games like this that play alot better. Unrealtournament 2003, Quake III Arena. for the capture the flag. There is nothing new here and the game engine needs some help. The textures and Level design is nother special and breaks no new ground. It does not touch Unrealtournament 2003 or MOH.

I wanted to like this game, but at this stage it offers nothing that great that has not been done better. I don't get caught up in themes. Capture the flag is capture the flag no matter what setting your playing in.

I know this is a demo, but I can't see buying this unless there are some major changes to the engine and gameplay.

thanx again for the links and info.

I thought the same thing as you....
I was getting great FPS and i could barely tap the mouse and it would go across the screen. But the animations, and movements of the char. you play as, are really bad. evern less smooth than BF1942. but hey, it's an ok game...

I agree on the critizism about the game play and characters, but I must admit the map is cool and I like to sneak arround in the jungle. :)

i also played it and although the river looked nice the actual jungle i thought looked a bit rubbish, it is mainly brushes and not models and it didnt really take a step forward in terms of game engines and surely every game will just turn into a camp fest, i noticed i couldnt go prone and shoot? kind of totally pointless not being allowed, the rocks were all flat and halflife like, and it just felt like another average fps that promises a lot, looks interesting in previews then you play it and its not even as nice looking as the quake 3 engine imo. Itll have a small following and probably wont get 90% reviews from most places as its just too run of the mill
