scruffy 17 Posted October 15, 2006 This Friday indiGLOW released the unofficial addon "Fist Bravo" and the map editor for Vietcong 2. It features new maps (some known from the first game, like "Halong Port" and "French Route") for different game types (including 5 for Coop). They also changed the running speed more to VC1 speed which makes the pace faster, changed the weapon sights so most are properly aligned now, changed something about the damage system, fixed some bugs, etc. The addon is nearly 250mb in filesize, the installation is easy: Just unzip the .cbf file and folder in the archive into your Vietcong 2 directory and start the game. Downloads, more mirrors on the indiGLOW website: Fist Bravo indiGLOW Auscong Editor indiGLOW Auscong Vietcong2.cz I haven't really tried it yet, just tested if it works. I dislike the new/old faster running speed which practically removes sprinting (it's still in, but not really faster than normal running). I think this was one of the best changes of the sequel, as it slowed down the pace. Oh, an AI still doesn't react to being hit like in VC1 but goes on shooting you as if nothing happened. Anyways, I'll definately play it on the next LAN with the 5 new Coop maps. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

And now free addon for a bad game..... no way Actually I liked the sequel better than the first ones. Apart from it eating up hardware with no relation to the graphics (but it runs ok for me) and that damn CD Key bug (that I had not all too much trouble with luckily, just the empty servers sucked) it really improved the game for me. I would have liked more jungle too, but as far as I know the same people that hate the city setting requested it in VC1. Just remember the servers online, more than 50% were running Halong Port nonstop, most others NVA Base. And everyone wanted more urban maps back then... I agree with you on the story partly, as I liked the first one better, too. But the slowed down pace through the slower running speed introduction of sprinting helped the game a lot for me. And what's the problem with the AI? It's much better than in VC1, it takes cover better and moves around the map if not hold at their position by mission design. Ever been overrun on your start point by AI in Coop in the first part? No, they nearly always waited on the same spot until you came to kill them. Interestingly many old fans hate say things like this about the sequel that I can't understand. There were also many people saying that the graphics are worse or not better than part 1. I just recently installed that on a LAN and played it in comparison, and there is difference, I can tell you Actually, I just wonder what turned down so many players from the sequel? I think the slowed down pace was the only remarkable change and if is this just try it out now. It's back on VC1 speed now... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

And now free addon for a bad game..... no way  I second that! I think I played about 6 or 7 missions of VC2 before I realized how rubbish it was! VC and VC Fist Alpha were something else though, very atmospheric, tense and enjoyable and did not slide show your system on high settings!  Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
VictorTroska 0 Posted October 16, 2006 See..i dont like very linear games..and VC2 was very very linear.... it was just go and shoot. I know that part of vietnam war was also in the cities but real war for me was in the jungle,like in the 1st VC. Yeah jungle was also partly linear, but at least i had to be very carefuly because of booby traps..or soldiers hidding in the bushes or VC tunnels... the game was very dinamic in the jungle,plus there was always present some kind of fear and respect for the enemy...and u could use some vehicles also,and fireing from the huey on damn VCs (best part)... defending the base....night missions... And then there was a day when they released Red Dawn (if u remember)...open field,lots of enemies,nice fight... I was impressed,tought that VC 2 will be something like that,just with a better graphics....but NO they f*cked it,and i mean big time... no jungles,no traps,just pure shooting.....no using any vehicles,no fear,no fun...borring. But i must admit that very first start of Vietcong 2 was great...rusty old hotel,great looking ladies,old vietnam feeling,great music...... but after that ...no word Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
