"dude chill out."
the so called ''kids revew'' is a pice of crap. i know i am i kid and i dont think kids play on collage pcs. also thats all crap, when i had dial-up my ping on BFV was 250 and under. now i have DSL and its 15 ping. i think ur just some dumbA 20 year old and needs to get a life. and o yes i forgot. the game is great lol got sidetracked there lol. its great youll play it 4 days on end.

"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

"don't have it yet"
well i might buy it if u don't need the original battlefield vietnam to play this game.

"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!

"not an expansion"
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
