It's a good game, espically for those of you who're pilots!
Great game in the air and on the sea, I can't say Im too fond of the groundside action though. Although I prefer the "Shoot first, shoot again, shoot some more, then when everyone is dead, ask your question!"
Anybody that says this game is bad is lying. If you are a SERIOUS shooter and you want to pinnacle of the shooting games out right now, you want this!
(dont beleive the 12 yr old thing, Im 15)

UI is really poor. Production value is incredibly bad. Weapon balance is bad. Game play is terrible. They scored big with the Invasion of the Philipines map and raised the bar of expectation. Battlefield Vietnam is an incredible letdown to a huge fan of BF1942.
other people dont say the true

this is a battlefield 2 (vietnam) it used new graphic.
now compare between bf1942 & bfv:
bf1942 want 32 min or 64 max video card & for best results use intel pentium 4 3.06 - 3.4 with HT Technology &1 - 2 gb of ram
bfv want 64 min or 128-256 max video card
for best results use pentium 4 1.7 & 512 - 1000 mb of ram.
there is a difference (right?!)
good step from ea
this game is good

The issue of bugs has been beaten to death. I have a good system and I found that I couldn't go for the best graphics, but I didn't have to settle for the worst. It is buggy, but I lack the technical sophistication to argue whether it is my fault or the game's fault.
I was indignant and horrified that the gooks have choppers and armored vehicles. The game creators made bold pretenses with their dubious history lessons before each singleplayer level, then they insult the player's intelligence. The point should be that the VC can beat the US with numbers, skill and ingenuity. The game makers made BF Vietnam into a farce. This is BF 1942 to a '60's soundtrack with assault rifles instead of Garands and MP 40's.
By the way, this is nothing like real combat. It is a fun shoot-em-up type game and nothing more.
BFV has serious balance issues.

BFV is an update of BF1942 with better graphics, same basic gameplay, but has some serious balance problems.
Musical Flags
The gameplay is not that much different from BF1942 which uses the same old flag system which is flawed since it devolves into 'musical chairs' where your just basically running around in circles reclaiming flag after flag. The flag system does not encourge team play unlike ut2004 linked flag system which is innovative and is more focused.
Balace Problems
When I first started playing BFV it was fun for a couple of days then I noticed cracks in the gameplay. THe problem is that there is no incentive to play the NVA unless you like a major challenge. The US equipment is superior to the NVA and the only advantage NVA has are booby traps which are nearly useless since your more likely to kill your own teammates than the enemy. The US has the m60/law kit and the apache/huey choppers which renders all other equipment obsolete. The US choppers can take out tanks, infantry and JETS(!!) with little effort. The M60/Law kit allows a single person can take down aircraft,tanks, and infantry. So basically these weapons discourage teamplay since one man can do everything himself. The NVA have no equivilant so are always outgunned and losing.
In summary BFV has a lot of potentiol if the balance issues can be addressed in the next patch. But the game is still a lot of fun as long as you play as the NVA since it's always challenging. But playing on the US side is no fun since it's like 'beating up a girl'.

I would not waste any money on this game. Not sure what EA Games was thinking when they developed this game.
Good game but definitely a waste

I was a Battlefield: 1942 fan, so I figured Battlefield: Vietnam was surely going to be a great game. It was entertaining but I was greatly disappointed. There are new maps and vehicles, but it is very much so a "hacked" 1942 basically. There are really no new features and not that many maps. I'm just going to stick with 1942 for now. There are still a lot of bugs (which will surely be patched in the future...)...but my advice is to wait until it's cheaper.
Great Single-Player!

OK, first off, I'd like to say, if you think i've been smoking something because i said it has good single-player, you've been smoking something. I love the Battlefield series, I played this game at a friend's house and he has no net, and I loved the game, even without that online crud.
