What our customer's say!
"nels larson: battlefield vietnam", nels larson: battlefield vietnam, This game is just like the battlefield 1942 except you are fighting in Vietnam. You can use helicopters to patrol and lots of other vehicles.
"Best Game Ever!", I have always been a fan of BFV. I lost my CD Key awhile ago and couldn't play online. This was a cost effective way to get a new one. great price and always a fun game. Came out in 04 but still up there with one of my favorites. I think its better than some of the recent Battlefield titles.
"Not Bad But Not Great Either", I bought this game a year or two after it came out when I just wanted a new game to play. I was always a fan of the Battlefield 1942, so I thought this would be a good game to try.
I never had all these problems with the installation or gameplay that many people talk about. However, I don't do multiplayer so I can't speak for that. My copy installed immediately and it played with no problem without downloading any patches. Maybe waiting for awhile after the game comes out is the key...instead of buying it right off the shelf the first day its out (which saves money too). I think its funny that so many people complain about bugs when most games that come to mind have patches out now or bugs that get fixed later on.
As far as the game goes, when I first played it, I hated it. I have some notion that urges me to play games on hard or else I do not find them challenging or they are just to short of games for the money. On the hard setting I think the best I could muster was a minor victory in a couple of the boards. I would get shot and killed easily from a huge distance with an automatic weapon and die, but I shoot someone point blank with a shotgun and they turn around and start shooting at me. I can only really take so much of that so I stopped playing it. I went back some months later, determined to like it enough to play it occasionally and tried again. On hard, I got the same results. I changed it to normal and I found the game to still be somewhat challenging and much better for my blood pressure, though I have yet to lose a scenario on normal. That can take some of the fun out of a game for me as I feel like there is no effort involved.
The AI seems to be fairly good in the game, but I think they just make it so someone randomly shoots you and most of the time you have no idea where that person was. From what I have garnered talking to vets who were there, that isn't wholly untrue, but it is frustrating after the tenth time. Just like the previous Battlefield games, the AI tends to have a one track mind and will blindly pursue that one goal for quite some time. For example, out of four control points, you have three and the enemy has one up on a hill. They will always run down the hill in the same relative spot making it like Duck Hunt for NES without the dog. If they are spread out, it can get quite interesting however and the dynamics take over like a real battle, at least to a degree.
The vehicles are primarily useless in this game, unlike in 1942, but can be fun in the right scenarios. Most of the time the terrain is too uneven or blocked with trees or water for most vehicles to be effective for more than a few minutes. The boats were fun in some boards but were really only useful in the Game Warden scenario. As in 1942, air units are really difficult to use and just get on my nerves, so I never use them. I'd prefer to run.
The game was a disappointing follow up to the 1942 games but on its own, it isn't a bad time killer. I find it fun to just load up, do a few scenarios, and then move on to something else. As with most games, I would never pay more than $30, but I do not consider that $30 poorly spent. It is fun, the graphics aren't bad, and I don't think people should really expect it to have the mechanics of real weaponary. It IS a game after all. Buy it for fun and to screw around with and you won't be disappointed. Buy it because you thought it would be the best game ever because of whatever pent up reason/excuse you had, be disappointed. There are no half stars, so it got three on the board, but I would really give it 2 1/2.
"Well...its good.", This is an amazing FPS. it has great graphics,and awesome gameplay. But, if you have a computer from when Windows XP just came out it takes at least 7 mins to load a single map. Newer computers can load it faster, but loading still takes a very long time. I tried the online multiplayer. Its not worth it. You wait for it to load, then you play for about 10 or 15 mins, then some more loading, etc. etc.
"Best Online Action Game Ever. A Must Buy. Absolute Awesome", 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.

Read this reviews before You buy...
"how can such a popular game suck so bad?", i know nobody cares what i think, but bf 1942 and bf vietnam are perhaps two of the worst games i've ever played. in 2006, the controls are of course completely dated and terrible (though i don't care about the graphics, they're pretty cool actually). bf vietnam does a great job at atmosphere. you really feel like you're there in vietnam. but then what happens? the control of the weapons is TRASH. talk about clunky!!! the CALL OF DUTY series blows this game away in every regard. sure, call of duty could learn some things from this game - how to use bigger maps and vehicles for example. but as far as actual GAMEPLAY and excitement, call of duty is infinitely better. there were times in this game where i'd go maybe 20 minutes without even seeing an enemy! all you do is walk around, keep walking, keep walking... maybe this is like real war, but if i wanted to be a real soldier i'd go join the army.
"dont kill the driver on single player", heres a better with getting the driver out just push 1 alot and he should get out and u will not get TK scores
"sweet", i love it sweet weapons and guns booby traps and so much more cool weapons and tanks aircraft and more its going to be so sweet!!!
"Multiplayer is Addictive", 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.
"A review", First of all, this is a First Person shooter game, which means you run around and shoot people. You don't just have to stick to a gun, but you can hop into a tank, helicopter, jeep, apc, plane, artillery truck, defensive gun/ cannon , hotwizer , each personilized to the team (the NVA son,t use F-4 's, they use Migs.)
There are four classes in this game each of wich you can take one of 2 kits.
Assult: has knife/ machette (2 hit kill, very useful for close range) except in the case of the NVA SA-7 kit ( a heat seeking missle) a pistol, a main weapon, and accesories (like binoculars)
Engineer: has knife, pistol, main gun (not as good as assult weapon), and accesories (mines, mortors and more (such as the NVA's shovel, which allows you to build a spawn point, more on those later).
Heavy : these kits only cahnge accesories, unlike the others. the US have
Kit 1) knife, pistol, M60 machine gun (inaccurate, but can fire alot of bullets quickly, great against helicopters), m79 (a grenade launcher) and accesories (binocs, heal pac
Kit 2) knife, pistol, rifle (one shot every second) , LAW (bazzoka), accesories
Nva 1) knife, pistol,rifle (a bit faster than the US one, but not as accurate), RPG (models vary), accesories
2) knife, pistol, SA-7, accesories
Final class-- sniper
The Us have knife, psitol, sniper (models vary), smoke bomb, accesories
The NVA have Knife, pistol, sniper (models vary), some sort of trap, accesories
There are two sorts of "wins" personal and team
Personal is getting on the top three (Killing the most, dying the least, taking the most spawn points) and having your name displayed in the end, with the other two.
team is that you reduce the enemy's tickets to zero.
You begin thegame by looking at a map of the battlefield, you choose your class, looks and spawn point (the place where you come back to life after you die, and hit ready.
Back to tickets: you can reduce these by having the enemy die (the main way to do this is to kill them)and taking spawn points. The more spawns you controll, the quicker the enemy's tickets will go.
Good: Multiplayer is great, the structure is immense (fight by yourself, or join a clan, like ASE or TOG??), Fun game play, very smooth and great graphics (of course I have an XPS 600 with An Nvidia 7800) varied gmaes.
Bad : singleplayer is easy at level impossible, with 64 players (the hardest possible setting), Need broadband. Flying is tough, too. Final problem: do not go into any mainstream game room (like Game Arena #1, in my opinion the best server, with the best game. ) without praticing first, or you will be chewed up spit out and stomped on.
Also, install PunkBuster, Version 1.2 and 1.21 upgrades (bug in 1.2, I can't play the new maps in singleplayer, but I can in mulitplayer.)
It runs great on my computer with
A pentinum D (3 ghz) 2 gig of ram 250 gig hard drive Nvidia 7800 graphics card
