This is the most underrated and forgotten battlefield game

[@Markov092]

I don't think it is so underrated and forgotten. Many classic BF fans remember this. It felt underrated because it was basically official, well made mod for BF1942. Most were still playing BF1942 and BF Vietnam was overshadowed, same as BF2142 was overshadowed by BF2.

[@robertknight-gray7187]

As a newer battlefield fan I've only just found out this game even existed I've never heard of it or seen it which is a shame as it looks like a fun game!

[@MidWitPride]

I think it kinda suffered from having the BF1942 engine. If you are going to make a game about the Vietnam war, you gotta have a lot of bushes to hide in. This old engine just didn't support any kind of guerrilla game play in any way. But then again, this game did basically create BF2, as many of the more successful aspects of the game were just ported into BF2. Like the helicopters. This game would had been so good if it had been released using the BF2 engine.

Longtime player here, even if it hasn't aged amazingly to some I feel like it still kicks *heaps* of ass. If you know where to look you can find patches to allow widescreen and restoring the server browser functionality, but the main thing I recommend is a sound fix from ModDB that restores the ambient sounds like Stars 'N' Bars radio and Hanoi Hannah broadcasts, and the ability to use the vehicle radio. Also worth noting that your sensitivity was fucked up because pre-BF2 sensitivity works in this weird way where you have your General sensitivity, then you can further adjust it specifically for Infantry and Vehicles so you need to crank *those* sliders down too. Anyway, pretty good review even if you were mostly dunking on it, always happy to see someone even acknowledge Vietnam since it seems to be mostly forgotten

[@goldbullet50]

Does the game still have players? Or is it even possible to play multiplayer anymore?

[@lord_razur]

@@goldbullet50 Usually players come online in mass for scheduled events, and HELLO Clan seems to be reponsible for most of those so I recommend joining their Discord server to keep track of that. Just a little while ago they got a server fully packed again.

The best thing about BFVietnam is that you can play some music while you driving a vehicle, Ride of the Valkyries, Soul Kitchen, Born to be Wild, the list can go on and on.

[@shootinputin6332]

I played the absolute hell out of this game. Picked it up on lay-by as a kid from Kmart Australia, along with CnC Generals and Max Payne 2. I was recruited into AEF clan and played many a clan battle as the Chinook pilot for them (and clanned with them again for Forgotten Hope, Point of Existence, and BF2). A major piece of my young teenhood that I will always be greatful for.

[@oneevilchef]

I remember flying helicopters in this game, I always needed the flight sensitivity set to max and would only fly the Chinook. I know, I know, "buh, the Chinook was shit in this game, fly something better," is what most people would say. Instead, I flew both the twin front-facing machine gun variant and the pacifist variant with the cargo hook, where I'd go wrecking ball on aircraft with cars or boats hanging beneath, or flag-capping by spinning the Chinook on it's nose around the flag, missing both flagpole and ground by inches and shooting anyone that interfered. Those were good times...

[@Jarzyn44]

It's still my favourite BF game. Old BF games were much slower so tactical situation lasted longer than minute, unlike in the newer ones where there are no "tactical situations" (like defending/attacking the bases or sneaky capturing the points behind enemy lines) as resps are close to each others and everything is messed up. In the Old series, respawns used to be a bases in the open field- vehicles weren't used only for fighting, but as a mean of transport to get faster into the frontline. Old BF were way more immersive when it comes to the being team member on the one side of the conflict, no Marines running with the AK'S - instead just get on a huey with your mates, and pray for not being shot down before reaching the point. I'm not saying the new BF'S are bad games, but they're clearly aren't the same anymore. Sad :(

[@tunaritoope2059]

Well said. And the fault of modern battlefields being shit is all thanks to EA who wanted to turn bf to full arcade shootter in hopes to lure some cod fans to join their playerbase. Oh how much i hate EA.

[@Jarzyn44]

@@tunaritoope2059 Exactly, BF tryharded to much to become a CoD with vehicles. Back in the days they used to be completly dofferent series. Second reason to blame in my opinion is grind- I"am not saying it's bad, but in my opinion scores should be gained (or hardly multiplied) only when players team would win so the teamwork would be protity- actual grind killed the idea of sacrifice and suicidal attacks.

[@danyoutube7491]

Yep, good features like these are forgotten about/disregarded by modern devs, unfortunately.

[@burstingwizard975]

This game is one of my all-time favorites. I got a mod called BFV arsenal, which added loads of new vehicles and maps. There was a beach map where I would take a hind helicopter with wing-mounted rockets and massacre the other team. Flying a helicopter, aiming and timing my shots was tricky to learn but I always loved it

[@eplus341]

My fondest memory of this game was actually on Operation Flaming Dart map. I was piloting a Huey gunship, going to the mainland. Midway I got into a fight with a Mi-8, you know, those hit the enemy chopper with a rocket before they hit you and actually try this 4-5 times because both of you miss all their shots fights. Anyway, at some point I finally managed to shoot a rocket I was pretty confident it would hit the enemy when all of a sudden I get obliterated by a plane flying nearby. Due to imbalanced teams, after I died, I quickly get switched to the other team. However, during that time, the rocket I already shot out was still traveliing through the air, and... You guessed it, as soon as I joined the other team, my rocket hits the now my teammate, kills them, and I get kicked for teamkill. Best game ever!

[@Jazdude123]

I remember when the game released and basically the US won every match because they had a class that spawned in with an M60 and a LAW. But basically you were anti-everything. You could fire just about non-stop, and the M60 was basically as accurate as a rifle, so you could gun down or missile anything. It was hands down completely broken and had to be patched for balance pretty quickly.

BF Vietnam is the game I am most nostalgic about, on par with NFSU. But I have to say, I found rs2 Vietnam's helicopters hard to handle because I was such a beast at the choppers in BF Vietnam.

[@undine1476]

we had optical mice back then that functioned just fine before laser mice (just not on glass surfaces)! the reason that mouse speed can get a bit screwy on older titles has to do with how mice communicate with the computer. there's something called a polling rate, which is a measure of how often the computer asks the mouse "hey man, how many centimeters did you move this millisecond?". back then, integrated chips in mice werent that powerful, so you had lower polling rates, generally around 100-300 times per second. the games are often programmed to pull this stuff straight off the mouse, so if your mouse polls 100 times a second, it needs different sens settings than if it polls 300-500 times a second. modern mice can poll at a max rate of 8000 times a second (on USB 2.0 atleast), so if the game's reading the mouse itself rather than windows' interpretation of the mouse movements, well, it'll be very fast. (this is also why mouse smoothing was invented, to fill in the gaps caused by low polling rates.) that is also where the "raw mouse input" tick box comes from in Source games, they read the raw mouse input. so why doesn't the source engine have this problem of rapid mouse movements? it doesn't read mouse movements directly, it reads the mouse movements, and then works with averages over a period of time (say 1-2 ms, the average of all your mouse movements), that way they're future-proofed, even if we ever get 50 million mouse polling rates or something. You can lock the polling rate in your hardware settings on windows, google around for it if you like playing older games! there's no real drawback, the difference between say, 500 polling rate and 5000 polling rate is not noticeable (to me at least.)

[@d.a.5788]

Omg the bit about the USB transfers actually surprised me, I didn't know that it was such a widespread practice. Then you brought up Broforce and I was just blown away cuz the exact same type of deals happened in my school. Keep up the work man lol

[@smorgan5830]

The greatest thing I remember about the helicopters playing back in 06 was the fact you could select a song(from Vietnam Era) from a Playlist to play over the chopper PA system. Fire up flight of the bumblebees to blast half way across the map in a huey with rockets. Remember like it was yesterday, damn nostalgic

Playing this back in 2004 was the shit. I don't care what it looks like now it was absolute peak performance back then. Getting 900 ping to Russian servers on Australian dial up and getting auto kicked for high ping and the Soundtrack is what made 2004 great. Take me back

[@Donnirononon]

As a developer myself i always find it unbelieveable that Battlefield Vietnam plus a lot of UI refactoring is basically BF2. Frostbite development started during BF Vietnam: After deciding that Refractor Engine is not the best choice for battlefield they did three more titles using it (Vietnam Battlefield2 and 2142). It is crazy what they got out of Refractor in terms of gameplay and graphics but coming back to Vietnam you can always clearly see where it came from. Considering that BF2 did not have bad graphics at the time Vietnam was just stunning for 2004.

[@Everclearboy1]

The best parts of this game were the soundtrack you could jam out to and actually hear what was being played by someone else. So loading up in the Helicopter to transport away was a fun time, along with the fact you could lower a tow cable and lift Armor to points needed. As a pilot in the game I never had a problem with flying at all. But the bigger problems came with the imbalance of that SAW loadout, it got ridiculous.

Wow... Bro, I graduated in 2002. In 2001, we used to do exactly what you described, except it was with the Quake 2 demo CD.

[@daniel-san836]

My mouse and keyboard at the time of playing BFV was a microsoft optical mouse and multimedia keyboard (black), with a 17" CRT monitor (also black) P4 2.4ghz, 512mb ram and a Leadtek nVidia 5200fx 128mb, I can specifically remember my PC Case at the time with its various mods I'd always be working on. This is when PC's where fairly fresh to becoming black rather than beige. We still only had dial up 56k internet in 2004 because we weren't wealthy enough to afford broadband and that was the case for a lot of people, so for almost another decade past the release of this game I'd been going to LAN's to file share and play games with people, otherwise at home was pretty much just reserved for skirmishes against AI or going through single player campaigns. It's no wonder kids of today have a major leg up despite being gamers for far less time and generally having far less technical know-how, they're immediately born into amazing graphics and content and tech.. still i'm glad i had the opportunity to experience the birth of 3d games, the birth of battlefield and the normalization of super fast computing, not to mention, having the privilege of feeling novelty behind new tech releases which aren't as impactful anymore due to it all becoming normalized, and I'm so glad I was able to experience LAN's. They were truly the best way to experience gaming.

I used to play this when it was first out, spent many an hour with this and I hold it in great affection. Having Hush by Deep Purple playing over the ingame radio whilst flying into battle on Ia Drang Valley in my Huey Cobra will stay with me 'til the day I die. I seem to remember the choppers being reasonably easy to fly (but it's been a while..). The tanks on Hue (or Reclaiming Hue) was fun. In hindsight they were probably a sack of shit but we didn't know any better back then. Thanks for the lookback and your conclusion is probably how I'd feel now if I played it, which is not what I want. I've wanted to try this game again for the nostalgia for quite some time. Glad I didn't, it shall remain uninstalled and the fond memories shall remain untainted. One other good thing about this game is that it piqued my curiosity about the real war which I subsequently looked into as all the maps were based on real battles. Some real shit went on there. If you're going to look up one battle it has to be 'Siege of Khe Sahn'. Blew my mind.

[@mattwillerton6775]

I spent so much time flying helis in this game as a kid. What a game, wish they'd revisit Nam in a Battlefield game, the BC2 dlc wasn't enough dammit

[@keithhiggins7822]

Great video! All the BF games were great! Just talking about the way the mouse rollers would gum up with crap, LOL. I had totally forgotten about that. Now we have mice with freakin laser beams.

[@msingleton4763]

Loved this game! Loaded all my favorite 60’s and 70’s songs into the songs folder. Got to be really good at flying the Huey and the Gunship would spend the whole campaign ferrying people across the map and close air support.

[@Ba11leFieldAce]

Man the music in this game was so next level. Something like 20 classic tracks came in the game. I always wondered how much EA had to spend on those rights.

[@sidp5101]

My brother and I still play it. Half the servers don't work, and the rest are mostly unpopulated, so we do coop or 1v1. Also, thanks for making me nostalgic about the ball mouses

[@steveman0420]

Haha I always set up punji sticks in ammo box When enemy capture a base

[@54032Zepol]

Thats dope! Love the content keep up the great work! Is there any groups out there on dedicated servers that do real squad tactics in rising storm two vietnam??

[@Tantwo]

thanks bro! and not that I know of, pretty sure there are hardcore servers but I only play on 2 servers in the SEA region so I don't know beyond that. It might be worth checking out the RS2 discord and asking around there

[@mrclarky]

the best part of this game is that you could play music when in the vehicles, also you could pick up vehicles with the chinook.

[@MrAndy9572ac]

Still one of the best bf games

[@Tantwo]

tbh I prefer Battlefield 2 ngl

[@FogHorn1911]

I still remember how proud I felt when I finally figured out how to fly the helicopter. Took so long to get my head around how a helicopter flies.

[@CMDR.Gonzo.von.Richthofen]

Same here. I bought a joystick and everything. Seems like I practiced forever, but I eventually got pretty good. Had a buddy who flew as my gunner. We would zip around cap points like nobody's business. Good times. Cool to see such an esteemed actor humble enough to comment on an old video game, btw. Love your work, Mr. Ford.

[@austinm5211]

you said mafia 2 , unreal 2004 , FARCRY1 , bf2 , crisis. And i subscribed right away!! lets lets be friends

[@jackedroo]

I fucking loved this game....playing your own music through the chopper...and the enemy could hear it....we need that back!

[@icouldntthinkofanamesoicho7569]

Back in the day when videogames weren't seen as money pools. You'd get QUALITY mechanics for its time and wouldn't have to pay. I remember my dad always brought home a PS1/2 game everyday he'd get off work. I had over 300+ Ps1/Ps2 games. Was insane to think they were like $30-60 each at the time.

[@Journeyman107]

Got this in my recommended good luck man

[@Tantwo]

thanks bro!

[@xplayman]

I was just playing this again last month. The best Battlefield game. I only stopped this because Squad got an update (which comes from the Project Reality mod on BF2) and then I started playing Zero Hour.

[@cameronward9443]

As someone who can fly a helicopter IRL... the Helicopters in this game were harder to fly than in real life lol. They did this weird swing mechanic, that you could never hold course without pitching up and down continuously. So when you were strafing you couldn't just bank and turn around, you had to pull up, do a 180 and sort of swing back and forth. It was messed up. Not sure why they couldn't get this right.

[@AceX1337gaming]

You needed a joystick to get good with the chopper. Very high skill ceiling. Showing my age here but I was the pilot in my BF Vietnam clan. Great times!! BF2 then absolutely changed the game.

[@NAWWMANNN]

I discovered this game late enough that the servers were almost dead, but I still LOVED this shit. Jumping into a phantom and napalming the VC guys as they tried to sneak through the trees. That one heli heavy map where any infantry engagement had to be transported by helos

[@WordTweak]

Co-op against bots takes me back to the days when I hosted LAN parties. BFV was awesome.

[@elvisr89899]

Hahaha, good video and memories from childhood. Spent my days and nights playing this.

[@TroupeGoal]

If you could fly your Huey around for more than a couple of minutes without crashing with some buddies with Ride of the Valkyries playing you were a legend.
