Battlefield Vietnam Overview

Prepare to do Battle in Vietnam. Battlefield Vietnam is a new spin on the game Battlefield 1942. Fans of the original game are sure to be excited by the chance to enjoy a new take on this action shooter game. The Battlefield franchise entered a new era equipped with more firepower, modernized weaponry and vehicles, and a deeper infantry experience from the jungles to the beaches of Vietnam. In Battlefield Vietnam, players selected from a variety of characters within the different soldier classes.

Battlefield Vietnam Free Download for PC is a first-person shooter video game, the second in the Battlefield franchise after Battlefield 1942. The game was developed by the Swedish company Digital Illusions CE and published by Electronic Arts on March 15, 2004 in North America and days later in other parts of the world. Battlefield Vietnam takes place during the Vietnam War. It features a large variety of maps based on historical settings, such as the Ho Chi Minh Trail, Battle of Hue, Ia Drang Valley, Operation Flaming Dart, The Battle of Khe Sanh and Fall of Saigon. On March 15, 2005, EA re-released the game as Battlefield Vietnam: Redux, which includes new vehicles, maps, and an EA-produced World War 2 mod, based on the previous Battlefield 1942.

Gameplay

Battlefield Vietnam has the same point by point objectives of Battlefield 1942; In most maps, your objective is to take Control Points around the map to enable friendly players and controllable vehicles to spawn. Like other Battlefield games, Spawn tickets play a vital role for defeat of a Team.

Most of us remember the addictive and incredibly detailed online shooter that was Battlefield 1942. Though Battlefield Vietnam certainly draws comparisons to its predecessor and to community modifications, it isn’t set up as a direct sequel to Battlefield 1942. Instead, it’s an extremely fine-tuned update to the Battlefield franchise that brings all the features we love about the original to a completely new setting. And the bottom line is that it’s really damn fun.

The “battlefield” of Vietnam is fundamentally different from that of the shores of Normandy and deserts of North Africa. Instead of large-scale assaults spread across kilometers of virtual terrain, BF Vietnam emphasizes more intense confrontations at key choke-points — and guerrilla warfare, complete with sabotage and booby-trapping. While playing, I was always focused on my immediate surroundings, engaging in close-quarters firefights and constantly paranoid about imminent danger. Developer DICE has done a great job breathing life (and death) into this dense, foliage-filled world.

Great historical details give each map a unique personality. Ho Chi Minh Trail pits infantry against each other amid a jungle of trees, bushes, and vines dimly lit by moonlight. I would often crawl my way through tall blades of grass to capture an enemy control point, only to realize that enemy soldiers were laying prone just a few feet away, watching for attackers! There are still urban environments, which become havens for snipers picking off gunners atop tanks and jeeps, while powerful anti-tank troopers launch rocket-propelled grenades at Sheridan and T-54 tanks.

But the best maps are the ones built around airpower. New Cobra and Huey helicopters dominate the battlespace, both as transport platforms and as gunships, and you’ll be awestruck at the damage that can be dished out by napalm strikes from F-4 Phantoms. In Operation Flaming Dart, you’ll see a battle involving gunships, helicopter transports, MiG fighters, and Phantoms, all dancing a fiery ballet of death in the sky. It almost brought tears to my eyes. This spectacle — mixed with the ambiance of “Ride of the Valkyries” – will draw flashbacks of Apocalypse Now.

The only aspect of war not given enough attention in BF Vietnam is naval combat, which is limited to transport ships and river boats. The Navy didn’t play a huge role in the war, but it would’ve been nice to see a map that featured carrier-based attacks.

A revamped character-class system adds diversity to the types of infantry that you can be for either the U.S. or the NVA. Classes are no longer restricted to set skins and models — each side can mix-and-match using various head and body models, which, combined with personalized weapon kits, gives each soldier a more distinct look. This individuality also means that from a distance, you can’t always recognize an enemy or ally solely by their appearance, so beware of friendly fire.

A newly implemented 3D map system can be toggled on to identify all allies and control points in a map. Weapon kits can also be customized so that each class isn’t limited to just one type of rifle or equipment pack. Unforgiving booby traps are my favorite death-dealing device — there’s nothing more pleasurable than watching troops fall victim to planted spikes or hidden mines.

Battlefield Vietnam also accommodates various tactics and assault styles that will feel familiar to players of BF1942. Lone wolves can make the most out of quietly sneaking through enemy control points and sabotaging vehicles with planted explosives, or just ambushing players using sniper rifles, but teamwork is rewarded as well. Control points now have dynamic capture times that get shorter as more of your teammates are within the capture radius. It’s a feature that is less noticeable than in Battlefield 2, however, since capture times are fairly fast overall.

Airlifting vehicles is another new feature made possible by the implementation of helicopters, which can drag any other vehicle across the map to deploy for reinforcements. I love watching a transport copter rise above a cliff, carrying a tank with people inside firing wildly at ground units. Mobile spawn points can also be airlifted on the U.S. side, while the NVA has a tunneling system with which it can create spawn points.

To make the most out of BF Vietnam, you’ll want to play online. GameRanger still supports matches with dozens of people. If that doesn’t work out, you can always practice getting to know the interface, weapons and maps by using the useful but painfully dumb bot support. Among other annoyances include some maps have balancing problems, such that they heavily favor one team. Despite these limitations, the tension and fun of good old Battlefield 1942 is very much alive and well in BF: Vietnam.
