Flying the V2 rocket thing in the "Secret weapons" expansion pack was the best part of my childhood. I'm going to install all 8 discs again tomorrow.

Secret weapons expansion was sooo good. Battlefield Vietnam is fun as shit to but it's crazy online. So much grenades it's impossible...

how the fuck did you manage to fly it?!

I spent years of my life trying to figure that out. Also, I could never figure out how to get into a submarine at Iwo Jima or Guadalcanal or wherever it was that it was possible.

Fuck, I can't find my game, looks like I'm downloading. IT truly is a great game. I might install Star Wars Battlefront for nostalgia's sake.

First time playing in about 7 years went like this:

>Omaha, full 64 player server
>Round Starts
>Like everyone on the American team piles into one boat because some idiots took the other three solo
>Boat is full of people, defguns are shooting all around us
>2 of the other boats explode
>We make it too shore
>Driver doesn't know how to open the door
>Tank drives up and blows us all up


Nothing has changed

Playing here again. But I don't think us OG disk users can play with the F2P origin downloaders because I'm on an older version... Maybe i'll update.
