FPS Games in Vietnam

[Sandi1987]

Any similar games like Vietcong?

I wish buddy.

Only remember the one you seem of already played.

EDIT: Just a thought have a look in to Arma 3, chances are some one map a map or 2., and if your lucky maybe some missions to go with.

How ever you need a good system to run Arma 3. Silly me forgot about this one, did not realize until i had seen the name as we used to play parts of it without the maps.

I'm fan of the original Vietcong and Fist Alpha to own a copy of Vietcong Purple Haze .
The only game that have Vietnam but not single player campaign is Rising Storm 2 Vietnam and is good.
The are mods for Insurgency with Vietnam maps to play in coop vs bots or in multi too.

Wasn't there a Battlefield Vietnam game?

First thing that came to my mind in fact but I'm not sure what the OP is specifically looking for.

The tunnel mission ! most of us completed it while firing the supressed pistol, not knowing the game had a flashlight
The story and how it is presented, you had some freedom of choice in regards to weapons, the setting, the pace of missions, it had some realism in it, Vietcong 2 was not that good.

I wondered many times why this Cold War era is not present in video games as opposed to WW2 and modern settings.

I wish BF5 had a campaign in Vietnam in which you constantly lose and later on they release a DLC in which they pull you out of there.

Because vegetation is a problem in games. It's high cost, difficult to animate, and can be frustrating for players (campers can literally hide anywhere).

I think Battlefield 2 had some Vietnam/Chinese and Middle East campaigns.

I really liked Conflict: Vietnam. I've got that and VC2. The better of which is C:V IMO. Not graphics wise, but more fun. I wonder if I can get it to run on Windows 10...

Campers ? you can burn or blow it, also it reduces visibility for those that stay in it.
It wasn't more than 10 years ago when Vietcong launched not a problem in single player also. A lot of games have it, Far Cry has it, Battlefield Bad Company 2 even Witcher 3 or DA: Inquisiton.
Also there were wars in desert areas like the Middle East or Africa, not only jungle terrain like in SE Asia or Latin America.

The best FPS I found was going to Vietnam, carry an M16 and run around in the jungle with a boombox playing some CCR

That respawn though...

 

[Flogger23m]

Rising Storm 2 Vietnam is pretty decent, but the player base is dwindling and it is MP only. They did release a free update which added Australia although few seem to play those maps. Now they're about to release an ARVN update as well.

Bad company 2: Vietnam

adds to realism.

Now onto a serious note before nerds on here think I am serious;

Battlefield Vietnam was an amazing game. Nothing like flying in a huey and playing music while dropping off your comrades to capture points. I just enjoyed flying.

...nerds on here think I am serious;

I hope you don't think I do. And I hope you don't think I am. Serious that is. A nerd I'm fine with.

It was... It was very very short lived though in my experience. Though I ended up picking up the expansion for £5 so i not too sure if I joined the game when it was halfway through its life span or not. Servers slowly started to disappear and last time i did check (probably a good few years back -- I currently dont have BC2 installed) there were only a small handful of UK/Euro servers.

No I don't think you are. Its that I sometimes forget this is a tech site and when viewing other tech sites like anandtech forums and what not, a lot of people have their panties in a twist for no reason at all other than for the sake of it or showing off their power levels or whatever.

I got it the day it came out. It didn't last nearly as long as BF-1942 did but there was plenty of private servers that used to be full almost every day all day. Tons of fun. Just even the idea of integrating a radio/music system into the game was something else entirely, and surprised it was never implemented in any other game. But I guess it was really to grab the whole "vietnam era esque" from it where the music of that era helped really shape America at the time.

Or maybe I am reading too much into it. But regardless, the game was a lot of fun. The BF Bad Company 2 Vietnam was extremely short lived. And while it was cool with the map destruction, it was not BF Vietnam in the end, and well, lost its lust after a short bit (obviously because: Lack of maps, Map Size being small, total player count being small, no music from vehicles, etc etc). I remember almost crapping myself in excitement when I first saw the trailer. After getting it though, I felt somewhat ripped off.

Arma 2 had several vietnam based missions (mods required).

Its a good game, I enjoyed it but yeah, not many players and most definitely not enough content.

I forgot about the upcoming Far Cry 5 DLC
