In general, though, the levels themselves feature a fine variety of terrain and gameplay styles. Not only does it feel like we're getting less, but it can make for needless confusion in multiplay. There are some variations in the recycled versions of those two maps, but it's disappointing whenever developers reuse levels in the same game. The game itself comes with about 12 different maps, because two urban maps-Hue and Quang Tri-are used twice. There are also lesser-known battles, such as Operation Hastings (an early Marine Corps battle) and Operation Flaming Dart (Air Force bombing raids).
MAN OF WAR VIETNAM MODS BOT MOVIE
The 14 different scenarios in Battlefield Vietnam are inspired by some of the most famous battles of the war, including the Ia Drang Valley (depicted in the movie We Were Soldiers), Hue during the Tet Offensive, and the Siege of Khe Sanh. The soundtrack itself would be worthy of a big-budget Hollywood movie, and it permeates throughout the game. You may not recognize the names, but you'll definitely recognize the music from countless movies, commercials, and the radio.
From the opening movie to the loading screens, you're immediately exposed to a soundtrack that's packed with the classic Vietnam War protest songs, including Edwin Starr's "War," Creedence Clearwater Revival's "Fortunate Son," The Trashmen's "Surfin' Bird," and others. The first thing that strikes you about Battlefield Vietnam isn't the graphics it's the music. It can make for a wildly exciting experience as the two teams slug it out in a tug-of-war struggle, and a team's fortunes can change in a heartbeat depending on the skill and coordination level between players. Often, multiple players can jump into the same vehicle for example, one player can pilot the helicopter while two players handle the side-mounted machine guns and two others sit back and shoot out the side with their own weapons.
In addition to running around on foot with a variety of weapons, you can jump into an assortment of vehicles, including jeeps, tanks, helicopters, jets, and more. You're then dropped into a gigantic map and must battle for strategic control points. In the conquest mode, which is the primary mode of play here just as in Battlefield 1942, players divide up into two teams, one for the US and its Vietnamese allies and the other for the North Vietnamese and its Vietcong allies. It's pretty, as well as deadly.įor those unfamiliar with the basics of the game, Battlefield Vietnam is a multiplayer-focused shooter that allows you to fight the battles of the Vietnam War against computer-controlled bots or up to 63 other players. Be that as it may, hardcore Battlefield fans and new players alike will probably agree that Battlefield Vietnam is a great, often thrilling action game. And yet, it must be said that Battlefield Vietnam just doesn't feel as groundbreaking as Battlefield 1942 did for its time, when it successfully combined first-person shooting action with vehicular combat on a relatively large scale. The truth is that Battlefield Vietnam is more than just a new collection of maps and weapons it's a superbly designed multiplayer action game that incorporates the lessons learned from 1942 and mates them with better technology. But the question is, can it emerge from beneath the shadow of its illustrious predecessor, Battlefield 1942, as well as megapopular user-made mods such as Desert Combat? While a jaded gamer might label Battlefield Vietnam nothing more than an elaborate update, that's taking a very cynical and shortsighted view. Battlefield Vietnam is one of the most anticipated games of the year.
