Description
Lock and load your M-16 and grab your flak jacket, it's time to hit the jungle in Battlefield Vietnam. The Battlefield franchise is moving to a new era equipped with more firepower and beautiful yet ferocious new combat settings. Staying true to the over-the-top, action-packed multiplayer style that gave Battlefield 1942 its critical and commercial success, Battlefield Vietnam will drop players into some of the Vietnam War's fiercest battles.
The 1960's were not all about love and peace and Battlefield Vietnam will be no different. Fighting in theatres from jungles surrounding the Ho Chi Minh Trail to the city streets of Hue, players will choose from two well-equipped forces, the United States or North Vietnamese Army (NVA) and Vietcong. To provide players a greater connection to their soldier, players will have the opportunity to select from a variety of soldier character models.
The Vietnam War offered powerful new weaponry and players will have the ability to control a variety of authentic U.S. and NVA vehicles. The workhorse for the U.S. during the Vietnam conflict was the helicopter and it will serve the same purpose in Battlefield Vietnam. Some of the combat vehicles straight from the conflict include the UH-1 Huey helicopter, M551 Sheridan tank, Phantom F-4 jet fighter and CH-47 Chinook transport helicopter and for the NVA the Russian-made T-54 tank, MIG-21 jet fighter, and Mi-8 multipurpose helicopter.
A range of new dramatic battle scenarios might include: leading a squadron of Huey helicopters in an all-out attack on an enemy compound, calling-in or piloting an Phantom F4 jet fighter to unleash napalm on a beachfront fortress, executing an ambush of enemy soldiers from dense foliage, airlifting a tank behind enemy territory, or captaining a PT boat through a dangerous jungle river passage.
Features:
Vehicle passengers will now have the ability to fire weapons while moving
Airlifting vehicles (tanks, PT boats) will lend to a variety of new strategies
New ability to select from a variety of characters within the different soldier classes (assault, medic, scout, anti-tank, engineer)
Operate several hand weapons of war that were available to the US and NVA including the M-16, M-60, and AK-47
Two UH-1 Huey helicopter types including power-packed Attack and functional Transport.

"Needs work"
With EA and DICE sticking with a arcade and sim mixed type of game it makes for a fun game to play, it's fast, intense and has some insane fire fights(multiplayer).
BF:V focussing on multiplayer and only having instant action for singleplayer was a let down but multiplayer is worth the lost of a singleplayer campaign.
Keep your eye on the horizon as the helicopters will send fear all around the battle field with their firepower and the ability to get their soliders in and out fast.
The only problem I have is it doesn't feel or look like a complete game, with many areas still to be fine tuned but all should be well as patchs are released.

"Sheer Brilliance!"
Battlefield Vietnam has captured the essence of the Vietnam Wars. The maps reflect perfectly how the battles took place, in the way of Ambush Points where the opposition can spawn at marked points where there actually is no spawn-point. As for gameplay, extremely difficult! Which is not a bad thing! Vietnam focuses more on the strategic side of things rather than the original 1942 that was focussed on speed & brute force. You literally need to crawl through the long grasses to keep a low profile. AI has also improved in the way that the AI team-up & work together, this makes for some mouse gripping tension!
Instead of your normal 5 character classes, under each you have a subclass where you can select between a range of weapons. To name a few, heavy machine-guns & booby-traps. The vehicles, as always, are fantastic, however if you think you've got an advantage by jumping into a tank, you're wrong! Because Vietnam terrain is so rigid, there are places you will struggle to drive a tank through. The maps are huge, but you are navigating closely with your opponents which makes for a completely different type of gameplay. Though planes I have noticed are quite rare, helicopters are abundant. Chopper flight is incredibly easier than in Desert Combat, the controls are simple, but you need to watch you're altitude. Chopper transport is FAST! Though you may not get many kills in a chopper, you will certainly contribute to teamwork.
Stealth, Strategy and Team work is what Vietnam is all about, and it certainly captures the intense realism of the Vietnam Wars. Goodluck Soliders ;o)
