Great game and a must have for any true war-gamer, obviously. I was a little let down by the maps and first version typical bugginess. This is one small step for Battlefield enthusiasts, one giant leap for the gaming industry.

AMD 2500+, 512K DDR, 128mb Geforce

Looks decent, but read the fine print on the box!

This game appears to be good, but unfortunately, after purchasing it, I was shocked to find out that it will not run. If you buy this, and have anything less than a Radeon 8500 chip, it will not run. Thus, I had to buy a new video card (A GeForce 5200 Ultra). This makes the game playable, but considering that I have a decent computer system (Athlon 2400+, 768MB) and I still cannot play the game on the medium settings without choppy graphics. Any higher setting makes the game simply unplayable. Great game if you have a very high end video card and a fast processor however.

A Must-have

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.

Great War 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.
