Just my very first Battlefield game. So much memories: summer holidays, Fortunate Son, napalm) Hope to see this cool game on GOG and have new rounds capturing flags and shooting all the way)
The music made this game unforgettable and the nostalgia, I played with my dad who passed away recently, I want this game because I want to remember old days where I used to play it
One of my all time favourite games! Love the Vietnam setting as I love Vietnam war movies and is the best Battlefield game in my opinion. Never played it online but I love just playing with bots, My favourite part is flying the Huey helicopters. I still play it to this day but would love to have it on GOG with full screen support as I can't seem to get that to work on my gaming laptop.
I miss the helicopter flight mechanics this game had. Once learned, it's very easy to pilot them with only WASD and arrow keys. No other games aside from this one, and Battlefield 2, had such user-friendly flight physics and controls. Countless hours in the Huey Gunships strafing enemy armor, or piloting the Chinook and winching up friendly armor to drop behind enemy lines. Choppers were my thing, and no game has come close to replicating the levels of fun that this game had when flying them.
BATTLEFIELD VIETNAM was so much fun as a LAN party game, back in the day! We, uh, played the crap out of it. For a long time. I'd love to play it again but it doesn't seem to be available that I can find. There are download sites out there but I question their legality as they don't seem to have a license to distribute. Great soundtrack! Great action, the vehicles were very interesting, the guns were all utilitarian (by that I mean extremely useful in the tasks for which they were designed originally) with their own characteristics and the ballistics seemed pretty accurate from what I recall. Not too many games simulate/calculate ballistics very well. I may be mis-remembering this, getting it mixed up with some other game from the same time period. Personally, I even enjoyed singleplayer with bots when I couldn't get LAN multiplayer. Please make sure LAN multiplayer works well! BATTLEFIELD 1942 was awesome as well! Nearly 25 years later and my friends and I still tell stories about these games! I always thought that BATTLEFIELD VIETNAM was the best of the series. Its gameplay was just so much fun! The vehicles added unique challenges to master and huge advantages, balanced by either being difficult to use or too irresistible to players to ignore. I used to have a lot of fun with the tanks and mobile artillery. We used to have amazing tank battles in LAN MP. Great game, for sure. One of my all-time favorites.
Why do you come here G.I. Your government send you here to die. Poor soldier. Going though indian country with no risk of PTSD. Nothing like trying to secure and capture an area, then you hear flight of the valkyries in the distance and you know your friend is coming to kill you.

Mercenaries: Playground of Destruction
Mercenaries: Playground of DestructionDuring the last years of his reign, the North Korean president Choi Kim attempted a reconciliation with the country's southern neighbor, with the ultimate goal of reunification. However, his son, General Choi Song, and the military clique under his leadership, strongly disagreed with the old man's views. Eventually, Choi Song orchestrated his own father's assassination, took control of North Korea, and severed ties with the outside world. Eventually, plans of a nuclear reactor construction began to surface. China, South Korea, the Allied Nations and even the Russian Mafia sent troops to North Korea, competing for power in the troubled region. A bounty of a hundred million dollars for General Song was declared. This is where the mercenaries enter the playfield. Mercenaries: Playground of Destruction is a free-roaming war action and driving game with open-ended gameplay in a large world. The player can choose to control any of the three mercenary protagonists, each with their own strengths: North American Chris Jacobs can sustain higher damage; Jennifer Mui from Hong-Kong is proficient in stealth; Mattias Nilsson from Sweden can run faster than the others. Each of the mercenary also speaks different languages, which makes him or her more or less suitable for work with particular factions. Players have free reign of a massive landscape to take bounties on the "Deck of 52", a list of most wanted criminals in North Korea, as well as a number of factions. Four factions have moved in to take advantage of the coup for personal gains; each faction will offer the player resources such as vehicles and supplies, as well as missions that the player can use to make money off of. If the player makes a faction happy, they will offer intel on the locations of various bounties from the deck. Players have a vast array of resources available to them to get the job done. It is possible to commandeer tanks, choppers and and any other military hardware to blow up the game's destructible landscape across the North Korean countryside. Helping out various factions provides access to numerous vehicle drops, supply drops, and air strikes.
