Mmmmmm, so I broke down and bought the game yesterday. Since I'll be getting a $20 gift-voucher. Essentially I still spent $40, but I'm getting a free $20 to spend on my next EB purchase. ANYWHO.
So the game. Yeah, it's rocking. Boats, planes, automobiles. Guns, rugs, and even the kitchen sink. You thought 1942 was crazy, well, jungle warfare is well represented in this insane follow-up to DICE's BF: 1942. During loadtime you're presented with a screen with detailed information on some subject of Vietnam. Either the people, the weapons used, or the culture of Vietnam and America during the time.
In what I've played (singleplayer) for the US side there are different forces represented. From the 5th Cav. Division, to the South Vietnamese forces. And you can also choose from a limted set of body type(2) and then two head types to go with the body. Much like 1942, you have your spawn screen. But the difference here is how you choose your gear (a tad). There are 4 'classes' (no medic, that peeves me off), assault, engineer, heavy equip, and sniper. Within each of those you can choose from 2 different sets of weapons. Pretty nifty.
Maps are large and full of detail. You have to constantly be aware of every aspect of your surroundings, else you be dead. Don't really know what else to say other than, if you liked 1942 you'll love this game.
