Vietcong demo PATCH
« on: December 24, 2002, 03:59:50 PM »
I like this company... they even patch their demos.  Bodes well for the game.

http://www.fileplanet.com/files/110000/118295.shtml

Here's the fix list.

Quote

1: Respawn problem in ATG game (no players should now respawning inside each other).
2: The weapons have now been placed in crates for the DM game, for improved visibility.
3: Score (frags, kills, deaths) should be displayed appropriately on client games.
4: Tthe game reporting 'server lost' when reloading a map should be reduced.
5: Sound drop-out should be improved so that all gunshots and explosions should be heard.
6: Player animation and movement should be improved, especially on games with slow connections.
7: The game should no longer crash (in some instances) when picking up weapons. 8: There is improved appearance for grenade throwing.
9: The player statistics window is improved (greater legibility when >20 players are in a game).
10: The game should no longer crash when running in fullscreen mode and using Alt-TAB (only applicable on some graphics cards).
11: General ambient sound improvements.
12: Automatic pilot selection for the Stream ATG game.
13: An imporoved Sort function for the player statistics window (e.g for sorting by frags - kills - deaths, not just by the frags).
14: Bad connection detection is now an icon on the HUD. Players with persitent bad connections will eventually be kicked out of games.
15: 'Team Chat' has been removed from Deathmatch mode.
16: Names of all players are displayed in Deathmatch mode.
17: A HUD cursor has been added to Vietnam Mode to aid weapon and ammo collection.
18: Memory leaks removed.
19: Improved updating of the Ping information.
20: Appropriate cross hairs have been added to sniper rifles.
21: New default keys setup, in response to people's wishes.
22: Added sounds of players being hit and/or killed.
23: Players can now be kicked from games via a voting system.
24: Servers now have an "auto balance teams" option.
25: It is now possible to type in a known IP address and join a game.
26: Imporved models and textures for weapons.
27: "TEAMKILLER" now appears when somebody kills his own teammate!
28: Server commands.

DoD/Half-Life have that... it usually means that people behave themselves... usually.

This is a good move for the company.  Ive been playing this game ALOT lately - the possibilties for using foliage for concealment are endless - the game makes stealth the primary means of getting from point A to point B - much better than "run around like a chicken with your head caught off" gameplay.  Hell - one of the best "scenes" I experienced in the game was when I was laying about 6 feet from a US sniper and didnt know he was there until I heard him fire at someone - then I saw him crawl ever so slowly a few feet further up the river - I had to admire the effort for a few seconds before I shot him... he didnt see me either.  ;)

This game is going to be huge - not the next Counter Strike for the masses, but close.

I like the number 27 addition myself.

Its gonna be very good i was amazed by it especially the vietnam mode where all the ammo and health bars are taken off. Thing is my PIII550 doesnt like all that jungle :)

Still think DOD is the No.1 online FPS for gameplay:D
