Is it still worth playing?
A first person shooter developed by Digital Illusions Canada and published by Electronic Arts for Windows in 2004, the second in the Battlefield series after Battlefield 1942. It is set during the Vietnam War on 14 maps mixing urban and jungle settings, with historical places such as the Ho Chi Minh Trail, Khe Sanh, Ia Drang and Hue. You occupy control points so that allies and vehicles can spawn, with a ticket count of reinforcements for each team. The sides are asymmetrical: the United States relies on tanks, helicopters and bombers, while the Vietnamese rely on infantry and anti tank weapons, booby traps and a mobile spawn point called a Sipi Hole. Licensed music from the 1960s plays from vehicles, and the American bases have a GI radio station. A war with two different styles of fighting still gives each side its own approach.
