They're making a 'nam version named "Rising Storm 2"
Rising Storm was about the pacific if anyone wonders.

I am so looking forward to that 60s/70s PTSD.

sgtmajjohnson (12/29/2015) [-] I'm honestly growing tired of everything Vietnam related in TV, movies, and games being PTSD focused. Obviously, it happened there, but it happened in every other conflict as well. That one was just unpopular with civilians, and PTSD was coming to the forefront of mental health. It was called shell shock in WW1, but the science wasn't fleshed out (hell, the British army executed some guys who had panic attacks for cowardice) and the trauma has sure as hell been around since humans started killing each other.

hulibuli (12/29/2015) [-] I think it's not only traumatic for the soldiers in Vietnam, but for the whole nation. That's why things in Vietnam focuses to that point, because it reflects how the US feels about Vietnam and sees it now. I believe that's where the whole "deconstruction of heroism" type of war films like Saving Privare Ryan started.
Meanwhile the good old USSR and Russia has had ******** conflicts like that pretty much ever since the Stalingrad so the movies about them showed how brutal war is right from the beginning. I'd say The 9th Company is a great film about Afghanistan.

sgtmajjohnson (12/29/2015) [-] The 9th company's decent, but there are certainly prominent inaccuracies, and scenes that just feel forced in my opinion. I know that the focus on PTSD in Vietnam is related to the popular view of the war, but my point is that it's largely inaccurate. It's the same reason why I can't think of a single realistic portrayal of the war in Vietnam; why everything about that war is focused on cliches and symbolism (i.e. Full Metal Jacket, Platoon, and Apocalypse Now)- because it's become an almost spiritual part of popular culture. Look at portrayals of any other American conflict, and you will find down-to-earth films about the lives of soldiers, whereas Vietnam can't be shown without some overarching story about internal conflict and mental strife.

sgtmajjohnson (12/30/2015) [-] Yup. He was the one Dieter was calling for when he was wounded; the one who refused to fire on the American troops because he had killed so many young men on the Eastern Front for a cause he no longer believed in. He was a very interesting character.

nickelakon (12/30/2015) [-] Yea
Which goes hand in hand with my favorite part of Hughes books.
Character development.
The war changed every character and it was always more than just ptsd.
The events in the book showed the war change the characters views on the world, their fellow man, and even themselves.

thefourthdirective (12/29/2015) [-] Look up the Vietcong tactics, torture methods, and traps, then see why a pretty good amount of soldiers had PTSD They didn't exactly give people quick deaths
#31 to #30
-
sgtmajjohnson (12/29/2015) [-] Dude, I read both of the books about Carlos Hathcock. They included a woman who castrated captured Marines and left them to bleed to death, and a French deserter working for the Vietnamese who would rape them before slitting their throats. I've also read about shoving bamboo under fingernails, punji sticks, and intentional dislocation of limbs among other things. The thing is, horror exists in every conflict. Imagine the Somme, where the British army suffered over 60,000 casualties (including 20,000 dead) in one day. That was two men for every yard of front. That **** messes you up just as much.

thefourthdirective (12/29/2015) [-] I just didn't think it would be a surprise if a lot of literature and movies were focused on PTSD

-
sgtmajjohnson (12/29/2015) [-] It's not a surprise at all, and I'm not even complaining about the prevalence of post traumatic stress in the military-related genres, it's just the fact that Vietnam is singled out as "the PTSD war" for some reason.

viscerys ONLINE (12/29/2015) [-] I think, in a lot of ways, Vietnam is incredibly alien. I mean, it's soldiers from all over the world being sent to a jungle to fight people who aren't actually soldiers. They're fighting civilians with bombs strapped to them, people lighting themselves on fire in towns, as well as the Vietcong soldiers, who as far as my limited knowledge on the subject goes, were just able-bodied people who had picked up a weapon and knew their way around the jungle. So it's people going to unfamiliar places to fight unfamiliar foes.
On the other hand, the Somme was drastically different. On both sides you've got armies of soldiers, who each have training of some form. The armies are entrenched on either side of the field, firing back and forth, gaining little ground. As it stands from the aspect of games and movies, Vietnam makes for much more entertaining drama (as ****** up as it sounds), as the soldiers are navigating a dangerous jungle, with tunnel systems, helicopters, jeeps and all sorts, instead of being jammed in a damp trench firing back and forth.

sgtmajjohnson (12/29/2015) [-] Hah, yeah. I was just about to say that I wasn't talking about it from a gameplay standpoint; I was more focusing on popular perceptions. As for alien, that has been the case in many recent conflicts, from the Pacific War to the War on Terror. Also, the Vietnamese actually had a large and well-funded regular army, which is something many people do not realize because of the common portrayal of the war as being completely asymmetrical.

kewolsky (12/30/2015) [-] I doubt it, RO was about cruel unforgiving realism
I've seen some ****
Hiding in a foxhole with another player, he tells me to stay low and takes a peek then gets shot trough the dome by a sniper.
Threw a grenade into a room and wait for it to explode, run in after the boom and find severed limbs.
Entered a bunker to find a German lying on the ground crying for his 'mutter'.

Not spec ops the lines way of forcing your hand through the story and then going "Look what we made you do? Dont you feel terrible for your decision to play this game?"
No
Throw a player into a real situation
Kill or be killed, the game not forcing you to do anything.

thepizzadevourer ONLINE (12/29/2015) [-] Battlefront 2 is the perfect example of a game that wasn't the pinnacle of gaming in its own right, but it took whatever you brought into it and made it so much more fun. You wanna be a Jedi? Here's a ton of AI to mow down. You wanna have a squad tactical shooter? Have some squad commands and AI to follow them. Space battles? We got those. RTS elements? You betcha. Heck, it even had online play and splitscreen. I'll never forget the awesome times I had playing BF2 with my buddies, trying to best them in battle.

thepizzadevourer ONLINE (12/29/2015) [-] Well, that was sort of the point I was trying to make. Taken purely as a game, BF2 isn't that great. It's a pretty generic third/first person shooter, the difficulty factor isn't that high. And the core mechanic (respawn at Command Posts, try to capture the enemy's CP's, fight until one side runs out of reinforcements) doesn't really change over the course of the game. For me, it's more about the enjoyment of getting to participate in battles you've imagined since you first saw Star Wars.
That said, there's a ton of stuff to do if you don't like the base game. For instance, go into Instant Action and try out any of the 'hunt' modes, which pit indigenous species against each other or against soldiers of a specific faction. Or, if you like playing as heroes, try Mos Eisley assault. Also, you can play with the settings of any of the modes, allowing you to adjust how many AI units are on the field at a time, how many reinforcements each side has, etc. Finally, you can try the Campaign (story mode) or Galactic Conquest, which introduces some RTS elements.
Finally, if you're bored of all that, you can try one of the literally hundreds of mods out there. My personal favorite is this one: www.moddb.com/mods/ultimate-battlefront-the-clone-wars But there's all kinds of stuff out there. Heck, I once played a mod that made being a Jedi more like The Force Unleashed than Battlefront 2. One more thing: if you're looking for a straight-up challenge, put the AI on elite and try to beat Endor as the Empire or Polis Massa as the Republic.

On the Nazi side sitting in a building trying to keep the reds out.
Me n my men are holding fast but dropping like flies
The reds just keep coming
Just me n a couple other guys on the top floor. A few more seconds till reinforcements
Can hear the reds coming up the stairs
MP40 out of bullets. Switch to sidearm
They are almost here, I can smell the vodka
I can't let them take this position, I charge towards the stairwell and burst through on a crow of Commies.
I know this is where I die. I yell (IRL) "FOR THE FATHERLAND, HAIL FUHRER" as I shoot my way through the red hoard.
Hit the ground floor, bleeding bad, see a couple more reds coming towards me.
Aim, pull the trigger, CLICK.
I Die, but my men lived.
That building was held, reinforcements came, the reds driven off. I die a hero to the Fatherland.
MFW the Russians think they can take my position. It's the best I've got

cptsweatpants (12/29/2015) [-] Yeah, that feel when your team makes a mass bayonet charge on the enemy position and you fall into the trench and stab some ****** in the gut, he starts crying for his mother, meanwhile everyones still yelling around you and finnaly your screen explodes cause the enemy commander counters with a mortar strike.
That **** is hard to get in any other game. Best played in clans though, lone wolf in multiplayer can be highly frustrating.

kinginthenorth (12/29/2015) [-] That feel when you make it to the trench and capture it, then you suddenly hear the whizzing noise of a mortar and you know you're about to get ****** .
It's still another feeling entirely when you see yourself flung into the air with a limb or 2 missing because you got hit by artillery. Even worse when you bounce on landing before you pick a respawn.

I think the Russian deathrattles are more brutal, because you really hear how many were just children who never wanted to be there. They cry for their mothers and beg for life.
Not that the American/German/Japanese ones aren't as good, but maybe it's my blood that really kills me when you hear them cry out 'Tovariche! T-Tovariche!'

commencingfailure (12/29/2015) [-] Oh yea I loved this game so much, keep leave and finding games until there was a free slot for the commander role. When I finally found one I'd just point artillery on their spawnplace(in the map with the church in the middle, wasn't that Leninrad?) to get 10000000000000 kills and everyone would go "wow nice job commander" "Best commander I've ever seen" "mlg commander"

nobodiecro (12/29/2015) [-] This game deserves** A LOT MORE** attention that its getting. Developers are actually nice to its community and if you're a supporter you get discounts. For example, since I've been playing their game since the start they gave me a discount when I was purchasing Red Orchestra 2 , same goes with Rising Storm.
And important thing to add now and then they add new maps , some of the new guns like MG42 etc..and guess what , you DON'T have to pay for it!
This is the only game that I know that you get MORE POINTS for giving a machine gunner ammo than for killing a soldier (1 point for a kill and 5 for giving ammo).
You also get more points for killing a squad leader/team leader than a regular Joe.
When playing online this game requires teamwork to capture/win objectives . TO cap a point it require 2 or 3 people not sure but I know for sure ONE is not enough.
Also too add Red Orchestra 2 and Rising Storm, while might look the same are different. Rising storm is more fast paced game with smaller map while RO2 is slower and has bigger maps . When I say smaller I mean more objectives that are closer to each other so that action keeps going on every second. You might not notice a difference but I personally after 260 hours do
WHO EVER loves realism and WW2 I cannot recommend this game more!

Perfect is a tenuous word. We get people who want ludicrous amounts of realism, and people who just want to suicide charge at the enemy every round. It's a toss up.
Personally, I think Arma's flaw is that it took things so far towards realism that controlling it is clunky. I think I'd enjoy it a lot more with Occulus Rift or some **** .
