None of them left the marks you'd expect. In Vietnam, you can't do that on any surface. Shooting your gun at walls used to leave bullet marks, little black dots. But did these idiots maybe forget that using a bump-map requires more passes than just using a single, higher-res texture? My guess is that they saved all their assets at 256x256, and didn't want to spend time recreating them.Ģ. They use it to make low-res textures seem higher res. The much-talked about bump-mapping by the DICE guys is not noticeable. Notice how the trees blend oh so well into the horizon? Right.ġ. Must be an engine so next-gen, my graphic card and computer can't handle it.Īnd here's just a random shot of the field in this map. Proof: I was shooting this gun in a dark room. Uh, okay? Why did they go transparent? I mean, I know why, I understand the engine and how it works, but they should not have allowed it to happen.

Notice these rocks? Yeah, they look like ****.


Vietnam's are terrible, especially for a god damn PC game. Find a shot of Majora's Mask trees, and compare. The trees look worse than N64's Majora's Mask. They're impressive, compared to the old game. Now, I believe Vietnam is using higher-res terrain than UT2K4, but UT2K4 seems to have better graphic designers than DICE. Here is an example of the texture quality in Vietnam. I shouldn't even need to point out what's wrong here. Here's an example of the terrible grass, which goes transparent when you duck in it, but the guy standing around you can't see you at all.Īnd here's your view when you duck in the grass. If this was an enemy's flag position, it would display how much time I have to take it. It looks good in this resized 640x480 shot, but when you click the full-res, you can start to see the faults.Īn example of the terrible 'folliage' in the game.
