The Karkand expansion installs much like the Vietnam one in BFBC2 did, i.e. separate menu.

Yeah Dg, but what your missing is, techincally COD could be a flop, sure it will sell by the bucket load, but it could be the end of the franchise if the game isnt upto par.

Its not being developed by Infinity Ward, so its entirely possible that this new company will screw it up.

Either way they arnt getting my money this year!

BF3 all the way

Why? So suddenly half the server can be dropped as they don't own the new map?

Why would it? Its just a few maps. :confused:

people will either have them or they won't (and the vast majority will), i can't see why it would need a seperate menu.

I agree with you, which is why I think map packs which are charged for (which Karkand will be eventually) are ridiculous. It splits the community.

However having it as a separate game option (Like BC2:Vietnam) seems a bit stupid.

No way it'lll have a seperate option. It made sense for the BCV addon since it was basically a mod and had its own menu, new maps don't need it.

Definately agree with this. Does anyone even play Vietnam anymore?

Don't think it took it that long to fall on its ass, was ok for a while but the hitboxes on the vehicles were even worse than bc2.

I gave up on nam after a few weeks, too many choke points on the maps.

The tanks big gun bringing down Hueys was hilarious! I think I've only ever done that once on the main game on Oasis Rush and that was a noob pilot flying very low and very slowly! Was satisfying though!

I'm sure the hitboxes for the Hueys were 4 times the size of the helicopter, plus they flew completely differently to the helis in BC2

You didn't even have to hit the thing that was the most retarded part of it, the huey seemed to have the hitbox the size of a chinook. I regularly "landed hits" well in front of or behind the huey.

Scary thing is the huey in bcv was even more dumbed down than ever before, felt like you were flying with invisible stabilisers. Worries me about the helo's in BF3.

In nam ive brought down a few choppers with the m79 grenade launcher, theyre like flying barns due to the hitboxes on them.
