While that would be good for documentaries and the like, fortunately our thorough play-testing showed everything to be well balanced and in good fighting order from a gaming point of view. There shouldn't be many whitewash-style, blitzkrieg victories in this simulated conflict - just as there wasn't one when the US stormed in for a quick and easy dust-down back in the '60s. True to form, in the admittedly early code we were playing, the single-player bots were still pretty vacant and not far elevated above the circle-driving, ally-shooting divots of BF - despite the fact they're more likely to listen to your radio commands.
It's in multiplayer however, that BFV will always show its true worth. Moments like the first time I was fragged by a Bouncing Betty mine whose modus operandi is to spring out of the ground to gut-level before exploding were just so magical that I can barely wait to use the same dirty trick on unsuspecting BF Vietnam virgins as soon as the game goes live.
The vehicle physics and controls, meanwhile, are just as much fun and fiendishly tricky as they ever were. Helicopters are still bastards to fly, as the hours I wasted trying to hook tanks onto my Chinook will readily testify. But the practice and skill required for airborne manoeuvring has always been, in my opinion at least, one of Battlefield's greatest, addiction-harbouring assets.
There's no doubt that Battlefield Vietnam has huge potential, and that it has huge, looming rivals in the form of Soldner: Secret Wars and the delectable temptation that will be Joint Operations. If I were a betting man, however, I'd place my money on the Battlefield franchise. With such a ridiculously strong community and so many ingenious nuggets of gameplay, it's pretty safe to say that, Charlie's going to be everywhere.
In the trees, on the rivers, falling out of the sky in badly piloted choppers Battlefield: Vietnam manages to capture the confused mayhem of jungle warfare while completely sidestepping all of the underlying issues that made the conflict a political mire. There are a whole slew of Viet-games coming out over the next 12 months or so, many of which split their time between entertainment and more meaningful messages, but Battlefield: Vietnam just delivers a relatively authentic combat simulator that is more sandbox army men than it is Full Metal Jacket or Platoon.
The game has no mission-based play at all, instead it offers up single and multiplayer combat set on a series of well-crafted maps. The single player games are filled with friendlies and enemies controlled by the computer. While it provides a good place to master the basics, this mode of play quickly loses its appeal once you've learned game play.
Multiplayer however is another story all together, supporting up to 64 players at the same time who take on the roles of U. What really makes this game such a blast to play is the developers' understanding the importance of vehicles and aircraft in the Vietnam War. You can control or just catch a ride on everything from Jeeps and tanks to helicopters and jets.
Many of the vehicles also have weapon systems that can be controlled by the driver or other players in the vehicle. The weapons selection is also uniquely Vietnam with guerrilla weapons like punji sticks and caltrops.
You can even use enemy engineers to dig tunnel spawns in the center of U. Music also plays a big role in setting the stage in this game. With Viet-era hits and the voices of U. The graphics aren't exactly cutting edge, but the use of well rendered foliage and very rugged and believable terrain, more than making up for the par character art.

The problem is the enemy AI has a homing beacon and knows exactly where players are. Add in semi-destructible environments and expect to be moving in the prone position a lot. Battlefield 3 attempts to keep the intensity high through the on-foot missions, but it interjects vehicle missions.
The plot of Battlefield 3 is kind of standard FPS fare, playing a soldier in a war and is a bit secondary to the overall experience. It is interesting, but the cut scenes do feel a bit worn and over-the-top.
Battlefield 3 is meant for multiplayer. The four soldier classes cover different play styles from assault to recon and players will find the suitable class quickly. Leveling is earned through the various gameplay modes, all of which involve player vs player action. A plus for the multiplayer is that even though players will be killed in multiplayer, there are other ways outside of combat to earn points.
The various gadgets can give experience and even contributing to the defeat of the other team can garner some support points. At the end of matches, players are given experience based on their performance and any ribbons they have received. The variety of maps, modes, and unlocks is staggering in Battlefield 3 and the shelf life of the game is long with eventual downloadable content. One of the first announcements for Battlefield 3 was the Frostbite 2 engine.
Be assured with a system containing the recommended requirements , players will be able to experience the bulk of the power of the engine. But run Battlefield 3 on a system with great hardware and Battlefield 3 is amazing. There are many effects and filters that are only visible with higher settings. If there was a game that warranted upgrading hardware, then Battlefield 3 is it. The library of sound sets in Battlefield 3 is big. From all the weapons, voice actors, vehicles, and environment sounds, there is never a dull moment.
Battlefield 3 surrounds players in the single and multiplayer portions of the game presenting audio cues for the direction of gunfire and the approaching sounds of land vehicles.
Playing Battlefield 3 with headphones is the best way to experience the game because the amount of work with the audio is impressive. Battlefield 3 is all about the multiplayer.
