I've read many reviews on this site about lag and computer problems etc...

Bottom line the game is pretty good...I have a $500 dell computer intel pentium III 1.8 ghz with 256 ram....game runs fine in the 800x600 mode...not the best graphics in this mode but the game is pretty fun nonetheless....

its very difficult to fly the planes and helicopters...Im still trying to figure it out...

the sound of the m60 is not really accurate...hollow sound rather than the baritone feel of a real "sixty"....

the m16 with underneath grenade launcher is a lot of fun...

but really though the game runs fine on a lower end computer like mine at the 800x600 lower res level...and the game still looks pretty good graphically and sounds good...no real lag or anything....I like the game and the music is cool...the opening music with lyndon johnson voiceover and then the propaganda nva woman is catchy....

overall, don't believe the hype about bad bugs and stuff...the game will work and is pretty fun...even on a $500 computer!

There's a patch you can download to play as John Kerry. Yeah, but all you do is stand in a boat for 4 months getting hit by debris and at the end of the game you get a lot of medals for nothing. The add on kit in the next year will be called "Battlefield VVAW: Hanoi John 007".

Great game

What a letdown...I must say..All the HYPE EA Games made about this game and it is NOT EVEN as good as BF 1942. BF 1942 "Desert Combat" is far better than Battlefield Vietnam. The wepons suck, the maps suck, the game is FULL of bugs,etc...Half of the so called "NEW" features don't even work.All the maps have the same "feel"
I must admit.The choppers handel much better(not as hard to fly)..The tanks and other veichels are LAME at best..Tanks (seem to), not get damanged as much for hitting a small bump like before.MY OPTION: EA GAMES COULD HAVE MADE THIS GAME MUCH BETTER. It is just a sloppy put together game. With all the snapshots and video clips they promoted, you would think this game would be better. IT IS NOTHING LIKE WHAT YOU SEE BEING PROMOTED. Over all...I played it out (all maps,etc) and got board with it within 3 hours. EA GAMES. NEXT TIME, DON'T TRICK THE PEOPLE INTO BELIEVING YOUR GAMES ARE SOMETHING THAT ARE NOT EVEN CLOSE TO.
PEOPLE...SAVE YOUR MONEY....

oH BY THE WAY..IF YOU DON'T HAVE AT LEAST A ATI RADION 8200 OR AS GOOD, THE GAME WON'T EVEN WORK....

DON'T WASTE YOUR MONEY!!!!

From Hanoi Hanna blasting in you ear to ALL to errors in content, this is NOT a follow-up to Battlefield 1942. Too many mistakes in battle units and weapons used. EA programmers did not research beyond watching re-runs of "Platoon". The Game Warden sequence does not follow actual operations and Battle for Hue uses incorrect map and units. Only Jane Fonda could appreciate this simulation and don't be suprised if you see her operating a anti-aircraft weapon.

Why doesn't it bug me?

I know that this game is supposedly filled with bugs but how come I didn't get any? I have whole mess of computers because my friend works in a Cyberpower inc, and I tried it on one of the most cheap computers that I had. It was only AMD Athlon 2000+, 512mb ram, GeForce 4 MX 440 64mb, with DSL and I was able to run it with no bugs, no lags, and on medium settings. But you guys who whines that this game is filled with bugs, try to see if your system meets the requirments. If it does, then try to see if there is anything else wrong with your PC. But if the game is still not working or has bugs, try downloading a patch or return it. You guys don't have to make bad comments and rate it bad just because it doesn't run on your PC and it does on mine. If you didn't play the game itself you shouldn't rate it.

Now back to the game itself, this game is amazing. I have played it and enjoyed every minute playing this game. It's so much better than Battlefield 1942 because you have newer weapons, more maps, and different vehicles. Not only that, you will have more wide variety of tactics such as the Vietcong's Hit and Run or set up a trap with logs. It definitly has better sounds with radios in vehicles and better graphics. And no, it doesn't have worse graphics then Battlefield 1942. Oh crap, I have to go. Just make sure you have better computer than Pentium 3 1.4 or Athlon XP 1600+ with 512mb ram, GeForce 4 TI and Radeon 9000 or higher with DSL or higher connection to play without so much lags. The reason why the graphics reccomendation is so high is because this will make a big diffrence in the game. If you only have a GeForce 2, 3, Radeon 8500 or lower, it might not run very fast. To play it on highest settings with no lags, get at least Athlon XP 3200+, 1GB ram, Radeon 9600XT or GeForce 5700 Ultra with cable modem. Hope you enjoy the game and make sure you have at least my requirements to play with no lags. But you might have to play on low settings.

I have played battlefield 1942 over a year now, and have played the user created mod "Desert Combat" for the better part of that year. Naturally I coudn't wait to get the new game, bfv, because of the imporvements to graphic quality and such; however, the game is awful. By no means is my machine the fastest there is, but it is faster than most, so the problems that I am having with the game is simply the games fault. Firstly, the game is incredibly choppy, the game doesn't recognize when a bot has been hit, there are "invisible walls." Now, these are just a few of the programming problems that the game has; however, the gameplay also suffers significantly. Now, one of the things that I loved about DesertCombat was the realism and the fact that not everyone could operate all vehicles equally. It seems that bfv was created so that just about anyone could simply hop in vehicle and go, ie helicopters will automatically hover when you let go of all controls...well thats no good. In addition, in an attempt to give the game better graphics, the size of the maps have reduced significantly. when flying jets, it seems as though I'm always turning inorder to stay within bounds. In short, do not buy this game now, it needs much much much improvemnt. I really think bfv's predecessor bf1942 is a much better game.

I dont know what you fools are talking about, saying you have a high end system and it runs bad... I have an AMD 64 / 1Gig DDR400 RAM / GeForce FX 5800 and my Battlefield runs flawless (except for the punkbuster scan upon joining a server)... Now about you people who complain about the gameplay... There is nothing wrong with it! It's a new game, get used to it... And about this Desert Combat mod... Hmm from what I understand there is already a mod being made with the new codes...

Great game, buy it!

Buy it and play multiplayer. Online multiplayer play is free if you have an internet connection. I've been playing for 9 months and it is hard to get bored of online play with this game.

AWESOME GAME
