Conflict Vietnam Free Download for PC is the third installment in the Conflict series of video games for the PlayStation 2, Xbox and Microsoft Windows. Gameplay A third person shooter, Conflict: Vietnam has the player taking control of a squad of four 101st Airborne Division soldiers on the eve of the Tet Offensive in 1968.

You can cross this river and climb the ridge on the other side. Levels are fairly open-ended. Try to be an optimist and be grateful that Vietcong, an import shooter covering the Vietnam war from a squad-based, story-driven perspective, could have blown so much more.

In fact the game displays frequent bursts of genius, but its faults are noteworthy as well. You assume the role of one Steve Hawkins, a First Class Intelligence Sergent and strike team commander serving in Vietnam. Vietcong is primarily mission based, and encompasses the war from around the late 1960’s towards the mid 1970’s. Although you’ll trade some bullets with the NVA, your primary focus will be fighting the VC guerrilla regulars around the thick Vietnamese jungles. Unlike most other shooters based on this war, Vietcong actually attempts to paint the conflict with some brushes of authenticity – you’ll learn about the former French colonial presence in Vietnam (and sometimes find remnants of their occupation), you’ll be treated to strict military lingo and operational procedures, and will find that tactics will win the day in armed engagements. For a developer based outside the United States, Pteredon seems to have done its research. That pesky ‘realism’ schtick that so often hinders gameplay in other shooters is used quite effectively here, enhancing the entire experience rather rather subtracting from it.

You have some degree of control over your squad, which number three to six people. All of these guys are specialized characters, ranging from a pointman who can find the safest route through the jungle, a medic that can stitch you back into shape in no time, plus an engineer, radio-man or a heavy machinegunner.

There are no artificial health pick-ups in Vietcong, and life is extremely fragile – even on the lowest difficulty, you won’t survive a full burst of AK fire at close range. Your medic can bring you back in fighting order, but every first-aid will sap your overall hitpoints by a small margin.

Confessions of a good christian girl. Your radio-man is the second most interesting character, as you’ll have to keep your higher-ups informed and updated on your mission progress. Each important event has to be called in, and the game rewards you with auto-saves.

Missions, like the rest of the game, are treated as realistically as possible – you attend a briefing session beforehand, and are given time to prep up. This includes selecting your weapons of choice, browsing through intelligence data (ranging from short essays on VC guerrilla tactics, how to spot and disarm traps, weapon information cards and the ever expansive mission clipboard) or firing off a few rounds down at the range, which stocks up on new guns after each mission. Your arsenal is limited to one primary and one secondary weapon, plus a few grenades and a combat knife. You can trade your starting gear for anything you can scavenge on the battlefield, and the guns are all nicely modeled. For instance, you can switch between auto and semi-auto firing modes or aim down the sights for precise shots.

Reloading will have you switch between magazines realistically, and grenades can be baked before throwing. From open jungles to claustrophobic caves. Assignments are far from predictable, taking you through every kind of imaginable scenario, some more enjoyable than others. The levels are absolutely gigantic – the introductory mission will have you drive to a nearby village. You get to experience the ride over there, then battle your way through a giant valley after the village comes under attack from a sniper, then get into some light jungle warfare after the sniper and his friends ambush you – all in just one level. But then again, you can save yourself some hurt by taking the sniper out from afar, prompting his friends to scatter away. Many levels feature secondary solutions or bonus objectives that can lead to different outcomes.

There’s a continuous sense of variety, but it doesn’t always work to Vietcong’s benefit. One stealth-based mission through a dark swamp involves rescuing a captured marine, and the experience is a dreadful tortilla of every bad stealth design element there is. The AI will wreak the most havoc, with squad units that continually fall behind or enemy soldiers that will spot and shoot you dead in pitch blackness. The scripting is in dire need of some rewriting in some places, where you could potentially break the level programming if you did the wrong things in the right order, requiring a restart.
