Battlefield Vietnam™. The Battlefield franchise is moving to a new era equipped with more firepower
and beautiful yet ferocious new combat settings. Staying true to the over-the-top, action-packed
multiplayer style that gave Battlefield 1942 its critical and commercial success,
Battlefield Vietnam will drop players into some of the Vietnam War's fiercest battles.
The 1960's were not all about love and peace and Battlefield Vietnam will be no different. Fighting
in theatres from jungles surrounding the Ho Chi Minh Trail to the city streets of Hue, players will
choose from two well-equipped forces, the United States or North Vietnamese Army (NVA) and Vietcong.
To provide players a greater connection to their soldier, players will have the opportunity to
select from a variety of soldier character models.
The Vietnam War offered powerful new weaponry and players will have the ability to control a
variety of authentic U.S. and NVA vehicles. The workhorse for the U.S. during the Vietnam conflict
was the helicopter and it will serve the same purpose in Battlefield Vietnam. Some of the combat
vehicles straight from the conflict include the UH-1 Huey helicopter, M551 Sheridan tank,
Phantom F-4 jet fighter and CH-47 Chinook transport helicopter and for the
NVA the Russian-made T-54 tank, MIG-21 jet fighter, and Mi-8 multipurpose helicopter.
A range of new dramatic battle scenarios might include: leading a squadron of Huey helicopters in
an all-out attack on an enemy compound, calling-in or piloting an Phantom F4 jet fighter to unleash
napalm on a beachfront fortress, executing an ambush of enemy soldiers from dense foliage,
airlifting a tank behind enemy territory, or captaining a PT boat through a dangerous jungle river
passage.
