do not buy this expecting this as being a expansion pack in wich it is not. This is the same old vietnam game with updates that u could download for free

This is great stuff! Maybe buy the Redux. You won't regret if you wanted it just for the music!

Wow! This is a really fun game. By the time I had this game in my hands, I was in gaming heaven. You see, here's how the story started: I just brought home Battlefield 1942. And I saw at the back of the CD case, a little thing about Battlefield Vietnam. At first I wasn't interested, then I went online and thought that maybe I should have a look at the website. Well, I found out lots of information about the game. Here's the information: You can try out over 20 vehicles (extra in the redux, my hero), you can fight in the gloomy jungles of the Ho Chi Minh Trail. Who knows, you might meet a NVA (North Vietnam Army)soldier with an armed machine gun. Or you can get on one of those helicopters, those aren't the greatest air vehicles in the game, but it is so easy to hit those helicopters in an F4 Phantom. Yeah, you can fly those jets, they have Guided missiles so watch your tail. The guided missiles are neat! Two shots on a helicopter and it's no more! F-4 Phantoms rock! Or you might try out a few ground vehicles. How about that tank over there? Or maybe that M.U.T.T? (they are jeeps armed with rocket launchers, with rockets in them. It's a 3 passenger jeep) Or, how about a sidearm and some soldiers? You can use over many different weapons. You can get a machine gun, a sniper, or a bazooka. Same with NVA, only their weapons look different. Bored of those battle noises? Then how about play some music? In vehicles you can play songs from Jefferson Airplane, The Box Tops, Count Five, and more fun tracks (including the all time favorite "I fought the Law") Or you can play songs from your own computer (sometimes it can be too far) Also other passengers can hear it while you play. I was playing online when I got on a helicopter with someone else flying it, he was playing "War" on the helicopter and I could hear it!

So Battlefield Vietnam has some interesting things envolved in it. The graphics looks like the 3D pictures on the official Vietnam Website. If you can run 1942, then you might be able to run Vietnam. I was a little nervous that it might not run on my computer. But if you have an old XP and it works, then listen to this: When you enter your first battle, it will act very slow so don't be selling the disk, yet. However, it will go faster the more you change options and play. Well, don't be too suprised with the glitches as I shall warn you about. Snipers are one of the problems. In Battlefield 1942, you can snipe someone in the head and then they die, but I had to make two head shots to kill someone. Huh? Weird glitch. But here's another thing, the AI are kind of both stupid and smart. When the AI fly helis, when they are near enemy ground, they escape the helicopter (even the pilot) and the helicopter isn't damaged. And sometimes you don't get a chance to get out before you get killed. And they rarely stop for you. But.. people read this, the radio communication is better than Battlefield 1942. Because in 1942, you order them something, they don't listen, but in Battlefield Vietnam, they respond! So people, if you need a helicopter ride, then in the communication say "Requesting a pickup." And they'll listen! So you see here, there are some good things and bad things about Battlefield Vietnam.

Now let's talk about the weapons. Each side has it's unique weapons (U.S gets M16 and N.V.A gets an AK-17. I just hope I typed it the right way). Now each side has its sidearms and classes. You can be a scout with over two different snipers to pick off with! Or an assault guy with the M16 (My Mom did fire one but never fought in the Vietnam war and she said the M16 in the game looks like the real one!) If you don't like the M16 then in some maps how about a Mossburg 500 shotgun? Or maybe the M16 sniper? Hmmm... I fought the L.A.W? Yeah, you can use the L.A.W as an anti-tank weapon! (get it?) And you can trigger a B.B? (Boucing Betty) when you're a scout! It unleashes poisonous gas so be careful. Wait, there are some tricks to play on the U.S. You can plant booby traps for enemies and sticks. The sticks work by someone stepping in the stick, gets impaled in it, and dies! And you can pick up and use kits from dead soldiers.

Now we talk about the Redux version. You get the same old maps in the orignal version, but for multiplayer you can pick 4 new maps! Wow! And you get a bonus disk. You can get patches immediatly in the disk and you can get the WWII mod for Vietnam! Yahoo! A free mod. Awesome! And it's a lot easier replacing bugs and stuff with the Redux! And the online play is just a click away with the Redux.

So you see here, if you are looking for a good game, don't get Battlefield Vietnam, but Battlefield Vietnam Redux!

P.S It isn't an expansion. I'll see you on the battlefield!

Awsome.

I dont know what the lower guys issues with his connection are, I have 0 issues with ping, mine is always in the 130 range. Maybe you should stop DLing porn while playing multiplayer games.

This is a great game, very fast paced and enjoyable. You can choose to enter any type of vehicle, while being more arcade than simulation, the action and craziness are well worth the low price offered by EA games...

O MY GOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! HELP ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I"M DYING BECAUSE THIS GAME IS SO GOOD!!!!!

This is the best game ever in the history of games.(maybe not better than Halo 2, but nothing compares to that) I PLAY IT EVERY DAY, but my parents make me get off, but I could play 5 days strait if I wanted too on my own. The better the video card you have, the better the game works. For x-mas, I just got a brand new dell XPS, and it works really good. It looks like xbox 360 almost. It would be incretably better if you have a $500 video card, but I'm not buying that.

Anyway, the game is incretable. The different weapon SETS are M16, Shotgun set, Mortar set, engineer set(three different kinds), L.A.W. set, grenade launcher set, M16 sniper set, normal sniper set, and MANY MANY MANY MANY MANY MANY more. There are so many vehicles. The helicopters arn't the best, but the planes are awsome. The manual says you can Airlift vehicles with a helicopter, but it's impossible. That doesn't matter though.

The game is awsome. Get it. NOW. Today!!!!!!! You will not regret it. (warning. Game is so good, you may not want to get off and you'll hurt your eyes really badly)

dude chill out.

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.

I bough this game here in Amazon in 2005. Since 2002 I was only playing Counter Strike, Team Fortress, Day of Defeat, Doom e.t.c. CS, TF & DOD are amazing and I still play them. Since 2004 a friend of mine called Liquidmerc who I met in a CS tournament in 2003 was telling me about this new game called Battlefield Vietnam where I can do more then just shoot around and blow up stuff. He said I can jump in Helicopters and fire machine guns at the enemy, fly Helicopters like Hueys, KA25, MI8, Cobras, Chinooks, fighter-planes like MIG17, MIG21, A7 Corsair, F4 Thunderbolt, DC3-AC47 Gunship, Skyraider, Bombers, Transport-Planes, and ride other vehicles like Jeeps, Tanks, Armored-Vehicles and fire Missile and Rocket Launchers, Mortars, RPGs, Heat Seeking Missiles, Anti Aircraft Guns, Scooters, Gun-Boats and tons of other vehicles.
The game is just amazing. It is the best game ever.
Plus, there are free add on extensions called MOD like Point of Existence, World War II and more. POE has new aircraft and vehicles.
Today in 2007 I am still playing BFV and its MODs and I am still not finished. I this is an ever lasting game.
Its a must have game. Check out the videos of BFV, POE and WW2 on Youtube. You will see what an awesome game this is.
The new games like BF2 and BF2142 are good but do not have the kick of BFV.

best battlefield game that will ever be made

Even next to knewer batlfield games, like battlefield 2 , I still think this is the best one in the series. it has great intense offline and online play, though some times the bots are idiotic, I still enjoy it. I think this is posibly the best vietnam simulation ever next to shell shock, witch is also a great game. Over all you should really by this game if you dont already have it.

ah yeah, I remember how much fun Battlefield was!
