Gamespot publie une nouvelle preview de Battlefield Vietnam (vous savez, le nouveau jeu des développeurs de Battlefield 1942 qui sort dans 3 semaines). Après s’être un peu moqué des jungles du FPS de DICE, Gamespot revient sur le principe du jeu puis décrit les véhicules. Ça devient vraiment intéressant quand ça parle des hélicos et autres bidules aériens.
Helicopters have an entirely new control scheme that lets them hover over targets, but they also require both caution and a bit of finesse to master. As with planes, helicopters have a throttle that helps them accelerate, and they can also turn and pitch, but at a low altitude, overbalancing a chopper even the slightest bit may cause it to upend, thus causing it to crash.
In the meantime, if you’re not constantly on the move, you’re a sitting duck for enemy fire.Then again, if you’re an extremely skilled chopper pilot, you can hover over a flashpoint while your teammates use the side-mounted machine guns to clean house.
Helicopters seem best when used in groups, especially the Huey Cobra–the pilot can fire unguided missiles, but the vehicle really comes into its own with a passenger using the mounted cannon.
La preview est accompagnée d’une multitude de nouvelles images.
