Offline play is not so fun. Played it through 2 maps just to get the hang of some vehicle and weapons. Graphics are not as good as Americas Army (completely free game). However, Online play is exciting. Helicopters and jets make for a fun battle. Seems like lots of time is spent searching for the fight though. If there's not lots of players, you may find yourself running across the map 80% of the time. The only other bad part that comes to mind is the chat doesnt work while the next maps are loading. So inbetween each round your stairing at some loading screan and cant talk to your squad and opponents. All these bugs aside, i'll be online making war for many days to come. Still a fun game. Hope it helps, b-real DataCypher

A blast of a game to play multiplayer. Got this game on March 16th and all I can say is wow. Huge improvement graphically over BF1942 in my opinion and the online play is just as fun. The soundtrack to the game is awesome and sounds great when your in a tank driving thru burned out buildings killing Vietcong. The jets and choppers give the game the Desert Combat feel with the Vietnam era. The game has a few issues out of the box but no show stoppers and I'm sure all will be settled with a patch or two. Worth every penny if you enjoy these types of games!

Terrible

Unplayable FPS. Gameplay is very jerky, long loading times (two minutes or more when beginning a new scenario...you have to sit through almost an entire song while waiting), annoying/distracting lag when trying to go from stand to crouch to prone, awkward control/feel when attempting to pilot aircraft which I couldn't get the hang of despite endless attempts; overall a big disappointment... traded in to EB for ten bucks after a few days. Reccommend Call Of Duty instead.

Pretty Good

I got this game recently and was amazed at another great step that EA has taken. The games can get a little laggy at times, but not as bad as battlefield 1942. Awesome intro to the game... Nice customisable in-game music. I got mine at Circuit city for 29.99... it said 39.99 so i was surprised. Umm... what else what else... o yea. Get a joystick for the helicopters. You are very skilled if you can master it without a joystick. The overall gameplay is kind of repetative. But it has a pretty good fun factor. The map is more user friendly.. more interaction. Hope This was helpful.

Great idea bad programming

I spent 2 1/2 days installing, updating, uninstalling, changing out cards etc...I had all the right hardware and read all the endless lists of tech support. The short periord of time that I did get it to run it was fun. But it started crashing again and now it seems like I back to square one. There is no way I am going to waste any more time on this game. I wish I could get my money back.

If you like Battlefield 1942 then you most have this game

Just like some of the reviews below when I first installed it I had some major performance problems, and I have a somewhat powerful PC (P4 2.2G, 512RAM, and an Nvidia Geforce4 chipset). However when I set the graphic details to low it work great and I never had a problem with it again. If everyone that gave this game less than 5 stars had a broadband internet connection and drop the video details down to low like I did they too would of given this game 5 stars. It has the same engine as Battlefield 1942 with very similar gameplay, but the graphics are much better even in low detail. There is some new features such as you can shoot from moving vehicles, mobile spawn points, booby traps, and you can choose your character skins. The music from the vehicles is a nice touch; it makes you feel like you are in a Vietnam movie. I really enjoy this game and I believe it's worth my hard earned $40.
Be advised this game is only worth it if you play online and you need a broadband connection plus a powerful PC with one today's top video card.

A sweet game!

One thing I can't understant is why people are giving this game such bad reviews! Plain and simple, this is the best military simulation I have ever played. It combines realistic and historically acurate weapons, vehicles, and locations with beautiful graphics and awesome multiplayer. Sure, the game's specifications are a little high, but what do you expect for a game thats multiplayer maps cover like five square miles! My computer is a 2.4 GHz pentium 4 with a Radeon 9800 Pro video card and 512 megs of RAM. The game runs like a charm on 1024 by 800 resolution and high graphics detail. But graphics are the least important part of the game. The excitement you feel when your running through an extremely dense jungle and enemy choppers are hunting you is unparalelled in any other game. I dont know about everyone else, but I am tired of all these world war 2 games-they are all the same!
I have one more thing to say: GET OFF YOUR COMPUTER GO AND BUY THIS GAME!

Great gameplay

Aside from having to restart the game occasionaly, no serious bugs to speak of.

The game is fairly realistic. More like what being on the battlefiled would be like than most games I'd say. The AI can be personally set from lobatamized to 360 degree sniper. Tons of playable vehicles. Great for LAN parties. Really great. My favorite feature is being able to interact with so many things. See a car...hop in. See a helicopter, hop in, drive, ride along.

Lots of fun, lots of ways to kill or be killed. Decient replay value. If you want an intricate story, this game isn't for you. If you want a unreal tournament style game, this game MIGHT be for you. I prefer the team CO-OP against an oversized Viet Cong force.

Decient recuirements. Say, top of the line 16 months ago, or modest 'B' computer for now, Summer '04.

In summary, if you want to relive a Vietnam War battle as a grunt or 'Charlie', try it. If you want to be the main character that saves the day, go get Max Paine.

DAMN GOOD

If you were going to buy a game, you should buy this game. This game has some of the best graphics in the world (I know, not as good as UT2004, but good), and it has a very good MP engine whitch you never find these days...

In other words, if you let a vietnam war vetran to play this game, he would think he was in the war agian.

Fun never ends

I guess i'll begin with the single player. Its ok but since the bots are good for training, you can work on helicopter or airplane flying with out taking much hits from the bots. Once you think your good enough head over to the multiplayer as long as you have an ok comp with cable or dsl connection you won't get much lag( i currently run 1.7Ghz 256 Ram cable connection with little lag). The main reason I like this game so much is because theres always some thing new.. fly a bomber or fighter plane, transport tropps via huey helicopter. USe the U.S.'s Patrol boat or maybe drive a tank or jeep. If 1st person action is your type theres a quite a few choices use an m15 or a sniper. If a tanks in the way use a LAW or a few grenades. Theres always something new in this game.
