Before the times of running around like a headless chicken spraying bullets, you had actual strategy, large maps, and real teamwork.

The memories of 4-5 people all jumping in a huey with a pilot who could do that spin in a circle maneuver around the flags (don't even know if it's physically possible for a helicopter to move like that)... killing Viet Cong with Fortunate Son playing over the chopper's loudspeaker...

Ahh fun times

That and 1942 were amazing games.

The only downside to Vietnam were the jets. They were just too fast for the map size.

It was much easier to fly WW2 planes in 1942.

Loved the gameplay otherwise.

Or was it a blackhawk that held a large crew...

Either way...

Yeah I avoided jets for that reason.

Sniping in the jungles was great too. Many places to hide and you could go minutes without seeing another player.

I feel the same about Battlefield 2 (PC, not the stupid console ones).

Loved this game. Throwing a spider hole up in the bushes and just running over the flag with manpower was awesome.

I spent my entire time becoming a better chopper pilot so that I could do this

i was dog shite at the actual game but I was a damn fine pilot. I still have positive memories of blaring music and hauling arse at tree level. Idk if there will be a game as much fan as Battlefield Vietnam. It was so great.
