Summary: This game stinks!
Review: This game is lame. The graphics are poor. But the worst part is the temporary freezes. My computer meets or far exceeds the requirments listed in the game information but is unable to make this game work. My video card is the exact card listed on the box,the drivers are up to date. The fact is this game just does not work.

Summary: A-mazing....
Review: I purchased this game a few days ago, and haven't been able to stop playing it. EA did a wonderful job, and it doesn't seem near as laggy as BF1942 did. The graphics are much better, the sound is great, and the characters you fight along side add even more realism. AI is definitely improved, but still, not the greatest. The included soundtrack is brilliant, adding even more realism, so that you are completely emersed in the game. But, unfortunately, BF Vietnam has one downfall- its lack of Campaign. Campaign was my biggest draw to BF1942, with online play second. This game only has Instant action missions, and Online play. But, because the pros to this game heavily outweight the cons, it gets a 5 out of 5 anyday from me.

Summary: This game is amazing.
Review: First of all, you should not listen to negative reviews for this game. The people who complain about it obviously DID NOT READ the minimum requirements on the box!!! This game does have higher requirements than almost any other game I have seen (specifically, Geforce 3, Radeon 8500 or higher graphics cards).With requirements like that, you should not even think of buying the game if your computer does not have at least a 64 meg graphics card and a cable modem. Get the game if:
1) You have Nvidia or Radeon graphics cards greater than or equal to 64 megs.
2) You have a cable modem DO NOT get the game if:
1) You have a 56K connection.
2) Your computer is old. Now, onto the game itself: I was blown away. The game is incredible. I run it with Medium video settings, and the game runs flawlessly. EA has added many nice touches. Here are a few: 1) You can no longer keep running when zoomed in (this is much more realistic)
2) All new weapons with all new, much more realistic sounds.
3) The sounds they have added are amazing. Next to the water you can actually here the water coming in and out, there are birds in the woods, and the sky is incredible. Not like the boring blue haze of the original Battlefield 1942.
4) The maps are much more immersive. The jungle maps especially. In some the foliage is so dense you sometimes pass an enemy within 10 feet without noticing them! That adds a lot to the stealth part of the game.
5) Timers letting you know how long until a base is taken, and alarms if a base is under attack.
6) A sniper is much more effective now with more accurate weapons. (Not to worry, the game hasn't turned into a sniper fest. Snipers aren't effective in all the maps because of the dense jungles in some). Those are a few of the reasons I enjoy the game so much more than its predecessors.
If you have a good system and like FPS this is a MUST BUY. P.S. Flight of the Valkyries is the best piece to play from your vehicle radio when in game :).

Summary: How disappointing!
Review: I loved BF 1942, and it was with anticipation that I installed this new installment. Much to my dismay, this sequel feels more like an open-source mod than a whole new game. I fail to see the "great graphics" that some are talking about (I have a high-end PC/graphics card, thank you very much), and the game is full of bugs. The online aspect has been really buggy so far, with unacceptable lag. My biggest disappointment, however, was with the level design and the overall feel of the game. Whereas the levels in BF1942 (and its expansion packs) were brilliant and really conveyed a sheer sense of epic conflict, the levels here are 1)WAY too dark, 2)Too cramped and 3)Boring. I realize that the battlefields of vietnam were different from WWII, but all the levels end up looking exactly the same: hilly jungle. Far from creating tension, this results in boredom, as you skulk around looking for somebody to frag. All in all, if feels like a cosmetic update to what was a great WWII game.

Summary: Having fun
Review: I am having a lot of fun with this game. I played the heck out of BF1942 and DC/EOD mods. I have a p4 2.5ghz
1GB of RAM
Radion 9800 (non pro) 128mb With less than 1GB of RAM it can get REALLY nasty.
After installing 1GB My load times were cut to 20 seconds or so from 60 seconds. You can have fun playing now but if you are leary, wait for the first patch.

Summary: Battlefield Vietnam
Review: The Positive:
Battlefield Vietnam offers a compelling experience like its predecessor, Battlefield 1942. Its graphics are top notch with fantastic detail in the buildings and foilage. New weapons such as airplanes,weapons, and helicopters are well done. The gaming experience offered by BV is greatly expanded over Battfield 1942. The Negative:
Unfortunately, the game has many bugs and glitches. As many have noted, Battlefield 1942 was riddle with bugs as well. There seems to be rushed feel to the game with its graphical glitches, disappointing lag, and problems with certain video cards. Apparently there have been reports that the game was optimized for Nvidia's Geforce cards. I'm not sure how accurate this is bu my own experiences with a ATI 9700 radeon pro card is less than positive. Smoke, fire, and other elements are often portayed as blocks on the screen. There are a great deal of slowdowns, especially when one is near an enemy. After running the game on the lowest settings, I still find the game barely reaching an acceptable fps rating. My conclusion:
Battlefield Vietnam offers great graphics and potential with patches to correct its glitches and bugs. If one can get passed the bugs and lag, then a great experience can be found. My Specs:
Athlon 2000 XP
1 Gig DDR ram memory
DSL Internet connection
Ati Radeon 9700 Pro video card

Summary: This is a must have!!!
Review: In my opinion, Battlefield Vietnam is a great game. There are some issues that need to be resolved but all in all I would heartily recommend this game to anyone, especially those who enjoyed BF42. The graphics and sound have been improved from BF42, although you WILL need a fairly powerful system and graphics card to play this game. A broadband connection of some sort is a must for multiplayer. I really enjoy the grass and foliage on the maps. Also, the fog and lighting is great. The maps are diverse and offer great game play. A neat feature is that you can play your own .mp3's while driving the vehicles. We should expect to see a patch for the game soon because there ARE performance and sound issues. I have been lucky enough to not have any even with my limited setup. I can't wait for the mod's and new maps that are coming out even now. Good luck and patience to all who are experiencing issues with the game.

Summary: Terrible
Review: Unplayable FPS. Gameplay is very jerky, long loading times (two minutes or more when beginning a new scenario...you have to sit through almost an entire song while waiting), annoying/distracting lag when trying to go from stand to crouch to prone, awkward control/feel when attempting to pilot aircraft which I couldn't get the hang of despite endless attempts; overall a big disappointment... traded in to EB for ten bucks after a few days. Reccommend Call Of Duty instead.

Summary: There is something wrong with this game
Review: P4 2.0
radeon 9700
512 MB of RAM
Road Runner Cable Modem
This game will not run on my system at anywhere near an acceptable frame rate, even turned down to 800X600. My system is not bleeding edge, but well above the minimum specs.
I tried the Far Cry Demo, which has just as much foliage, and it runs just fine.
I bought this on the strength of BF 1942 and am very disappointed. How sad.
