The damage model is probably the most morally devastating system I have played on the PC. I’m a big fan of the “one-hit kill” system featured in most of the Rainbow Six games, but if you aren’t prepared for that level of realism then you might find Vietcong 2 to be nearly unplayable.
There are more than 50 authentic weapons and now that the fight has moved into population zones you have the opportunity to commandeer both military and civilian vehicles. I must admit that after serving nearly 30 years in our Armed Forces it was an interesting experience playing as a VC soldier, even if I was only ten years old when all of this really went down. You are also allowed to play and experience the war from both sides. The missions and story are rooted in factual first-hand accounts so you can expect some realistic gameplay. America was winning the war, or so we thought, and the NVA was making their big offensive toward the south. Vietcong 2 takes a new approach to the traditional jungle warfare by taking you out of nature’s jungle and putting you into the “urban jungle” during the Tet Offensive in 1968. In fact, it was only last year that I sat down to play the two previous releases, and thankfully with two years of hardware upgrades I was able to muscle my way through both titles and appreciate both games in all their visual glory. At the time the games appeared to be state-of-the-art, meaning that most people’s computers couldn’t even play them, when in reality, it was more shoddy programming than next-gen graphics.

Vietcong 2 is the first full sequel to the original 2003 release, which spawned a prequel expansion pack in 2004. There were at least four major titles released in 2004 dealing with the subject matter. The Vietnam War, perhaps one of the most infamous and controversial “wars” in our nation’s history, aside from the one going on right now in Iraq, is the source material for a lot of books, movies, and more recently video games.
