This game is unbelievable. the guns are really ralalistic. The battle damage is pretty accurate and its not that difficult of a game. There are a fair amount of levels.
However there is a coupl bad things. When you have a sniper and your behind a bush, The vietnamese can see you! Some levels are too easy and they no purpose. But still, this game is a really good game.

this game needs a geforce 3 or more!

this game was one of the best games in my opinion... until I found out that it needed an expensive video card! But if u get all the graphics on the lowest amount, u could play, even if its pretty choppy ( it gets annoying after a while, u cant aim well) But I dam playing with a geforce 2 and i am playing it so i guess it could have been worse. But anyway, the graphics, on the highest option available looks very good. theres so much grass and plantlife, and also some blood, so I guess it does need a pretty good video card. This game is so fun u could play it for 4 hours and u wont get bored. the ai can be very fun to kill especially the one level where u have thousands of guys against a few of u guys. the sound is i guess kinda good (cause i don't really care, as long as it's fun...) and in the end, its a very enjoyable game.

high octane gaming

If you played all of the frist battlefields then you will like this one, more weapons, planes, helicopters, and more people to shoot. I haven't played the game in a while but when I did,nobody could could take me away from the computer that's how interesting it is. My friend said "that I recamend this game to anyone but my sister". I also advice people who like gaming to the next level of close to the edge gaming then buy this game.

Battlefeild Vietnam is a really good game.But let me tell you,this game is not for slow or old computers.It doesnt take 5-10 minutes to load a map.I have a pentium 4 and it only takes about 2 minutes max.The guns are amazin,espicailly the L.A.W and the m16 are all really good.You are fighting the north Vietnames and the Vietkong.The Vietkong will use punge sticks(big sticks w/poison on the end)and will use other weapons like that.You can airlift a vehicle in and out of hotspots and you can use fighter jets that have fire bombs and missles(machine guns for the MIG's)You can rig a Vehicle w/explosives and when any1 gets in it the vehicle will explode.This game is much tougher that BattleField 1942 but that doesnt make it a bad game.A few of the minor flaws are that 1.If you fall down the stairs running and kill yourself,but you will have minimal damage if you just fall of w/o running. 2.You can kill an enemy fighter jet w/one missle but it will take 2 to take down a helicopter 3.The game will just freeze after about 45 mins. of play. Overall, this game is definatly worth the cost and the storage it takes up on your computer.The weapons are cool and combat is great.A must buy.

good game

There are plus and minus for every game as there are for different maps. But flying the helicopters is a gas. Enemy weapons and allied weapons are well balanced. Latest downloadable mod corrects the M60/LAW combination that was almost undefeatable. Hiding in grass or all out fast twitch infighting are all available in the various maps. Not so tank intensive as the original, more helicopter dominated. Gee, just like Vietnam.

Some potential, but too buggy to be a serious contender

From the get-go, this game never ran properly on then cutting-edge ATI hardware. Antialiasing always produced an artifacting effect on my 9700 pro, and anisotropic filtering had no perceptible image enhancement. Moreover, the game was marred by subpar performance on my 3.2 ghz, 9700 pro system, producing an average of about 40FPS at 1024x768 resolution. I wrote these initial problems off as EA pushing to get this game out the door. But after the game update and several driver updates from ATI, I still get the same issues as when I bought the game in March. Be cautious and check some forums before you purchase this, or else you might be in for a disappointment.

Good game but not as fun as BF1942

I have been playing since the day of release. It is only an ok game. EA released it too early and it was very imbalanced. The maps are too small and I hate the way you seem to always spawn in front of your enemy not to mention there are too many people that get in the choppers and can just dominate the game. My other complaint with this game is that there are too few maps. Half the maps are just copys of other maps set in different time zones yet about the same. Those are the things I like least about the game.

I do like the way you compete for flags in this game. This is an improvement over BF1942. All in all it is just an ok game and there is nothing really ground breaking in it. I will not be buying the expansions for this one when they come out.

Very good game!

Better than BF1942. Has a few small bugs left but EA has been patching. Highly recommend!

Fantastic!

I was a little hesitant about buying this game after buying the Team Saber Addon for Delta Force, but the era pulled me in. I managed to find it BRAND NEW for 34.95 on here at Amazon and it was well worth the money!!! Again, if you don't have a good system, don't bother. It runs really well on my computer though and I am very happy! I noticed some have said that BF Vietnam should have been an addon to BF1942, I disagree.. This is a whole new product. Would have liked to have seen better control of the aircraft though..

CAN YOU RUN THIS GAME?

First I would like to thank those who write helpful comments and secondly I would like to recommend PC game reviewers to list their system's stats so your comments can be evaluated accordingly. That being said, I was very concerned about being able to run this game after reading some reviews, since I had pre-ordered it through Amazon thinking that if BF42 works this will work as well. I loaded it up last night and spent about 4 hours playing it on three different servers. Two of the servers were almost lag free and my fears were alleviated. When the game loaded it left the video settings at low, but the graphics are still beautiful and better than BF-42. I played on some maps with significant foilage and detail and my moderate computer chugged along fine. Maps loaded in less than a minute. (Note, the more memory you have the quicker maps will load.) Thus even if you only have a 1.2 GHZ processer but a recent graphics card and a good chunk of memory you can play this game fine. When upgrading it is always best (and cheaper) to start with the memory, followed by the video card if you don't get the performance leap you need. One annoyance I found was a possible audio bug- while I could hear my weapons fire fine, it seemed as though the weapons fire of enemies was very faint or non-existent at times, but tell tale because of visible tracer fire. This will likely be addressed by a patch if it is an actual bug. However, it didn't help when I first started playing and found myself being killed when it looked like no one was around. It didn't take long to realize that the dense foilage and grass in this game makes hiding and crawling much more useful than in BF42. If you had difficulty flying a plane with deadly accuracy in BF42 (even using a joystick) your hopes of being able to easily master a helicopter will probably be dashed. At least they are easier to blow out of the sky and the foilage makes getting killed from above, only after you have spent two minutes walking across the map, less of a likelihood than it was in BF42! That was one of the reasons I stopped playing BF42 and began playing Call of Duty multiplayer, which has no planes and is excellent by the way. Compared to Call of Duty the action is more lumbering but the learning curve can be steep for newbies. This game will probably favor hard core gamers who play every day rather than casual gamers. If you are the latter, Call of Duty is a much better choice. The bottom line is that the game is worth the money and there is enough new stuff here to keep it interesting.
