I must agree with everyone, IT SUCKS!
Alot, and I mean a lot of bugs in the game.
When it first came out, I thought this is gonna be the best.
But was I wrong.
The only good thing in the game is the graphics, and multiplayer.
Wait when the price goes down, then buy it, and play only multiplayer cause thats the best.
I am realy disipointed at this game, and they could have done better, a lot better!
Hope this helped. :-)
Great Game

I don't understand the bad reviewers. Apparently they are just "PC Gamer Snobs". Anyway, I bought this game and the online play is amazing. I really can't imagine a better game to play online with others. The graphics and functionality are great. The only drawbacks I have are: (1) hard to organize people to attack and hold bases(flags), which is probably difficult in most online play games like this, (2)the learing curve isn't too bad, but it takes a while to figure out how to successfully fly planes and helicopters.
You'll like this game, unless you're the type to find issues with everything and complain.
NOTE: If you are one to not play multi-player online, this game is not for you.
1 of the Best Vietnam War games ever

This is the greatest Vietnam War game i have ever played! It isn't an objective based game, it's more of all out war. It is pretty expensive but i think it was worth buying. You can use most anything in this game, from helicopters to jets, from tanks to patrol boats. Drop into a hot LZ blasting the NVA or ambush U.S. patrol boats as the VC. Being able to change the enemy AI can make the levels a walk through the park or a challenge against experienced enemies. Losing all your spawn points and have to wait till one is taken back may happen once in a while but that makes the game more challenging.
If you've played Battlefield 1942 and you liked it I'm pretty sure you'll like this game.
Best game ever

I odered this game from Aazon.com a few weeks ago and it rocks.
if you don't have a nice system to run it on, then you will be complaining a lot! If you're looking for a single player game; BFV is not for you. Multiplayer is where all the action is at. go and buy this game if you love the battle field series.

i loved this game. it has absolutely everything. choppers, jets tanks, boats, everything. but, u need to have a good computer to play this game w/out a hitch. Also, u need to practice on singleplayer before u get on, or you'll get creamed, or do what i did and learn what to do after being creamed. Also, the helicopter is real hard to fly at first, then after u practice you'll be thankful u learned. people who think the maps r to big, there wrong. if your flying a huey, or strafing w/ an f4, then u dont want to deal w/ goin out of bounds. its a great game. I hope you'll buy this and see what im talkin about. By the way, my favorite features r the hueys and there lifting mechanism, and that u can play songs while in a vehicle.
I really love this Game! Brings Vietnam to Life!

I have been playing this game for a week now, and I truly love it! It's hard to put it into words, but this game has real "playability" or compulsive gameplay in the multi-player, Internet mode. You can use all kinds of bombs and weapons, drive vehicles, and even fly helicopters. They rock! I am a big war buff, and I find myself playing scenes from my favorite films like "Full Metal Jacket" for real with this game. The action can be fast and very intense, whether you work with a squad of other players or go lone wolf like "Rambo".
Rambo II is another favorite film, and I found myself stalking through the jungle, using my M60 squad machine gun and LAW's rockets to take out troops and tanks! It has a great immersive experience, with good sound effects and even real rock music from the era. The graphics are good and the level of detail in the sound effects are truly awesome -- you feel like you're in the jungle -- at least I did!
The one thing to remember is that this game requires a fast machine with a new, DirectX 9 video card and lots of memory. I use a Pentium 4, 2-Gigahertz with 512 Meg of memory and a nice new Radeon 9600 XT card with 128 Meg of video. I play with my cable modem, and get smooth sound and gameplay at 1024 X 768 and all details set to HIGH. Really. If you have a new machine and like FPS games, you need to try this one! It grows on you.
P.S. - I had Battlefield 1942 for a year, and it was buggy the first revision or two -- very slow and choppy sound for example. This first release of Battlefield Vietnam has played just fine for me -- no lockups or real sound problems. Like I say, this game will get to you, try the demo if you want before you buy! I will be playing this every day until Half-Life 2 comes out! Happy gaming!
The game is good, but Tech support is lost.

I was under the impression that this game was buggy, but after some effort I discovered that it was InnoculateIT that was causing the lag and crash problem. Tech support was no help, claiming that my system was inadequate. As it turns out, my system was fine. The game now runs, even though I am not using the graphics cards they demand.
For those of you experiencing lag problems, please check to see what sort of anti-virus software you are running. InnoculateIT has a patch that, while not intended to fix this problem, will help the game run. My problem stemmed from a process that suddenly started running after install, eating up CPU resources. CA has the patch. For those of you not running this anti-virus, you're on your own. Sorry.
This Game is Awesome

The graphics are incredible almost photo realistic. It is so much fun cause u can fly and drive 24 different vechicles. There are tons of weapons and the levels are real big. It is cool cause u can do real stuff that waz in Vietnam.
The battle rages on in the jungles of Vietnam.

Get on your feet soldier! It's 1968 and what are you doing? You still playing hide and go seek in the sour kraut fields? This isn't 1942 boy! It's the 60's and there's a new war to be waged! The battlefield is now staged in the dense jungles, destroyed cities, and the twisting rivers of Vietnam. 14 brand new maps send you straight into the deltas, hills, fields, and streets of the Indochina Vietnam Conflict. You'll be fighting the North Vietnam Army in a tense struggle to take back the fallen city of Hue. Hang onto your lunch as you swiftly glide down the Mekong Delta on a PT Boat in Operation Game Warden. And don't forget to look out for the Vietcong's booby traps as you run through the jungles during a secret invasion of Cambodia. Yes soldier, I believe you just might make it out here in Vietnam. But there's lots more than just your common infantry to watch out for! Enemy helicopters patrol the skies while F4 Phantoms litter the ground with napalm, clearing the way for troops. Don't forget about those Vespa Scooters my friend, Charlie just might slip on by without you knowing! So soldier, I think your ready to take on Nam. Fight for the North,South,or even the good old US, your bound to have a great time in the jungle. Just keep an eye out for the M60 machine guns, they'll send you home in a box if you don't watch it!
Wow

First I'd like to start off saying that i have experienced *NO* bugs in the game. The game is not laggy, the part that lags the most for me is the first time you choose your spawn point. The graphics are pretty good, nothing compared to say, Farcry or the soon to come out Half Life 2, but they are desent. The graphics are better than BF:1942, since the minimum requirements are stricter in this one. One awesome feature is whenever you're in a vehicle, be it car, tank, plane, helicopter, boat, there is a radio for you to rock on while you kill, the mini manual tells you how to add your own music to the game.
Now the only bad thing about this game is the fact that the grass does not hide you one little bit from your enemies, It totally looks as if it would but it doesn't
My specs:
Pentium 4 @ 1.8 GHz
ATI radeon 9100 (AGP 4x, 128 mb)
256 mb ram
as you can see i have a medium-low rig, but I play at a low 800x600, but with settings mostly up up up. I definately recomment this game. Oh yeah.
