And yet, it must be said that Battlefield Vietnam just doesn't feel as groundbreaking as Battlefield 1942 did for its time, when it successfully combined first-person shooting action with vehicular combat on a relatively large scale. The truth is that Battlefield Vietnam is more than just a new collection of maps and weapons it's a superbly designed multiplayer action game that incorporates the lessons learned from 1942 and mates them with better technology. But the question is, can it emerge from beneath the shadow of its illustrious predecessor, Battlefield 1942, as well as megapopular user-made mods such as Desert Combat? While a jaded gamer might label Battlefield Vietnam nothing more than an elaborate update, that's taking a very cynical and shortsighted view.


Battlefield Vietnam is one of the most anticipated games of the year.
