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!

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...

Perfect - buy it & Download the 1.21 update from EA.com and Play Online

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)

ah yeah, I remember how much fun Battlefield was!

Total amateurs designed this one. If you like running around for 10 minutes looking for the action then this game is for you....BORING!!! Then when you finally find some action it's over just when you get there. Sometimes you can shoot a guy dead on like 4 times and he won't go down. Other times 1 hit and he's in the ground. This makes for much wasted ammo. And if you reload before your mag is empty you lose the half empty mag, instead of keeping it until your almost out. Slow reload times and slow weapons changes. All in all, terribly boring. What's with having an insertion point all the way on the other side of the map from the action? I hate running through the entire map, by myself, looking for a fight.

HMMMMM I DONT KNOW WHAT TO SAY

ok now I have a situation here. I heard (...) that this game was extremely laggy. And I hear here that its not laggy. And oh yea... the dude at the bottom of the reviews CHILL OUT. The line of Battlefield games that EA has made are all great and are hours of fun ive played EVERY one of them and give EVERY one of them 5 stars ( exept Battlefield 2 and Battlefield Vietnam Redux) those are the only ones I have not played. I know that Battlefield 2 is an awesome game but you need a top notch computer in order to even play it and you will get major lag thats common scense but I dont know about Vietnam Redux I dont know what to say about this.
Is it laggy, is it filled with bugs?? I NEED ANSWERS HERE

dude chill out.

Craptacular junk is what this "game" is. I know because this is just the same crap as the original Battlefield 1942/Lagnam. Heck, they didn't even bother to hide it. Just sneak into the enemy's control point, capture it while they're fighting somewhere else, and hope that they won't do the same thing. Do bunny jumping during infantry battles, use the vehicles to run over people.

IF you get to play it. I have played this piece of junk on a university campus's computer, which has about 23-24 times faster than the average internet connection, but could not get a ping lower than 700.

Maybe this game will be popular in 4-5 years when the crappiest internet connection will have a light-like speed, and people will be able to make battles with 64 playes and no lag.

But until then, skip it.
