Thanks to Amazon.com, I can now rest asure that I reserved a copy of BF:Vietnam all for myself. The question is, will it be a good game? Well here's the answer, BF:Vietnam is bound to be the best seller of 2004 along with CS:Condition Zero due to the following reasons: 1. It is a pick-and-play game; hence you dont need to know any characters or any such storyline, all you need to do is pick either the good guys or the bad guys, kill your opponents, pick your weapons and skin, costumize your class (assualt, special ops etc) and battle it out. Ofcourse, the thing condition zero lacks is Battlefield's series of cars, planes and tanks making it more resourceful and entertaining. The game has two armies, U.S and North Vietnamese army. Each army has different classes (Sniper, Assault, Heavy Assault, Special Ops) note: there is no medic since each class has its own medical patch! Ok, apart from classes you have another option, pick your uniform and character (skin). 2. There are a huge variety of different weapons and vehichles to pick from, each class will give you an option to pick one from two different weapons gears! 3. Many new maps including jungles, capital city, river banks, sea shores etc. 4. Grass images more realistic; this time you can hide under intense grass in order to be prevented from being seen. 5. Vehichles have music in them which you can activate by pressing a button (U.S vehichles have American 60's music, Vietcong has different propaganda messages etc.) note: dont activate near any opponents base, since theyll hear you coming! 6. You can set traps if you pick sniper class. 7. If you come near a flag and want to capture it, a timer is set in order to know how long you should stay for, and if theres an enemy in the area, youll get a warning signal/blimp on the map! note: bring more people to the flag you need to capture and your capture timer speeds up!
Well, thats about that, all you need to know about the game, for more information visit their website at:

If this game is half as good as the first game, It'll be a serious contender for game of the year (Maybe if Halo 2 is STILL delayed) With new abilities for character classes, new vehicles, way better graphics, and many completly new things (In the helocopters, it plays old, but still good rock music from that time period) It will blow you away. It'll be one of those games you play untill 3:00 in the morning, and you'll just be getting started. With online, It'll be so sweet, I'll be in bed until March 15, or whenever it's supposed to ship.

Very good game.

I have bought Battlefield 1942, which is probably the best pc game out there. There is no single player (or there is, but it's basicly what you do online). This is just a hardcore awesome online shooting game, where you don't just use your guns. But you can take airplanes, ships ect. After Bf:1942, I highly recommend this product because it will probably be as good, maybe twice as good as the older one.

Looking forward to it

I honestly cant wait wait for this expansion. I have both expansion packs and loving it. One more would just make it
all better [^_^] anyway i am sure u all a lot about this games future but something worries me if this game will be very sniper based cause its forest like call of duty was at the begining full of those damn sniper rifels. So lets pray developers did not screw this one up.

Cant wait!

This game isn't and expansion just to clear that up. Its a stand-alone game. I'm looking forward to see how well this compares to the Eve Of Destruction mod which is tough competition. From the screenshots its looks awesome

Kicks-Ass

My dad, being a Vietnam Vet, when i showed him the tralier to this game said, this might be one video game he may be willing to play. He says from the screens and the trailer, its kida like what he really went through during Vietnam. Cant wait for this kick ass game.

This is going to be great!

Thanks alot amazon! Not only you gave me the lowest price, but I didn't have to pay an extra $10 for pre-ordering!

Alot of new features in Battlefield: Vietnam. Now, you can pick your own primary weapon, no matter what soldier class you choose, unlike in BF: 1942. You can shoot your hand held weapon from the passenger side of any vehicle. You can totally customize your characters, from your outfit, and race, to the appearance of your characters head and face. New vehicles including some awsome helicopters! The Huey attack helicopter, a Huey Transport Helicopter, a Chinook, a Cobra attack helicopter, and many more! What I can't wait to fly is the new F4 Phantom with it's Napalm bomb! Also, you can customize the main game menu with your own songs! Not only that, while flying your men into action in a vehicle, you can jam to some 60's music, very good music :). Some of the bands are...

"The Box Tops"
"Count Five"
"Bobby Fuller Four"
"Canned Heat"
"Edwin Star"

The maps on this game are beutifull! Tons of trees, bushes, grass, and water. The soldier classes are packed with more weapons than before, including some anti-tank weapons to even the odds against enemy armor ;). All sorts of traps you can set, pungee sticks, rolling logs, and alot more. The new weapon animations are great! Except that the shells come out on the left side, it's not realistic but looks great! Now you can even pick up vehicles with your helicopters! You can transport tanks across rivers, or into action.

There is so much more, I can't get it all out fast enough, going to have to learn how to type faster :). It's going to be a great game! It's worth the price for sure! You wont find a better deal than amazons!

simply the best multiplayer game available

this game is going to be better than all previous BF1942 games and mods. I recently got the eve of destruction bf1942 mod which is a vietnam mod and it is VERY good so i cant even think how good this game will be.

Exceptional Quality

I own Battlefield 1942 and can honestly say it's one of the best games out there right now. Insane graphics and intense gameplay are what we've come to expect from EA titles such as the "007" series and their sports lineup. Battlefield is no different.

Along with a gripping single-player mode, Vietnam offers intense online multiplayer action in which two teams collide on accurately detailed maps from the war in Vietnam.

Based on the amazing job on Battlefield 1942, Vietnam is sure to be of amazing quality, if not better than its counterpart. Keep in mind that Vietnam is not an update to Battlefield 1942, but a stand-alone game.

The only downside to the Battlefield series is how taxing it is on your computer. I have 381MB RAM, a 64MB Video Card, and a Cable modem, and I still experience lag here and there. Also, the insane amount of hard drive space it uses is a downer (Battlefield 1942 uses about 2 gigs!).

If you're looking for a good quality game though, I highly recommend Battlefield Vietnam.
