One of its most remarkable accomplishments is the way gunfights play out like gunfights rather than shooting galleries. [July 2003, p.88]
The game is intense with plenty of surprise attacks and one-shot kills, but it manages to remain fun and entertaining and perhaps even a bit educational. If you have the gear to run it I highly recommend taking this tour of duty.

Vietcong strays down the path between arcade shooter and tactical war simulator perfectly, resulting in a game that you’ll find hard to put down.
They've managed to make a consistent game world and suck the player into it. The fact remains, however, that including more mundane and frustrating elements of real world warfare is a double-edged blade, especially when some of the other technical elements of your game are not up to snuff - like the AI, or clunky engine.
Satisfies as a polished-looking shooter, but needs a more energetic design. [June 2003, p.70]
While being by and large a straight-forward action shooter, it's really aching to be a tactical shooter, and in that vein it's a pity there's not more control over your team members.
Repetitive and crude, this is a game that is often let down by the rough edges of a development team that didn't seem to have the time or the money to realise its ambitions. [June 2003, p.102]
still the best FPS.
this game let you know you are trash, get on the ground and follow orders.
best gameplay and movement and cover system in any FPS.
most difficult singleplayer shooter (vietcong difficulty) - balanced perfect too.
best CQB missions ever
best CQB AI ever, because improvement on existing tactical fps.
most immersive FPS ever, no HUD.
but most of all, greatest multiplayer FPS ever, frfr.
needs proper reboot, with better of above.

Le Vietnam, c'était l'enfer à ce qu'il paraît... et ce jeu est là pour vous le rappeler puisqu'il est même un enfer à lui tout seul ! un enfer à jouer ou à tenter de jouer... Sous le couvert d'un pseudo-réalisme, rien n'est vraiment jouable ici, la faute à une ergonomie soit défaillante soit absente... lancer une grenade relève de l'exploit par exemple !
Quant à mon fusil, il y en a beaucoup des comme ça mais ça c'est le mien et... il a l'air sacrément faussé ou alors mon avatar a pris de la drogue : ça tire à peu près n'importe où sauf là où on a visé, là où on visait ou là où on vise... Là encore, on se demande comment ce merdier a été "pensé" ? une mauvaise blague ou un humour très douteux ?
Toujours est-il qu'en face, les Viets savent tirer et que surtout ils se carapatent à une vitesse... comment tu veux en aligner un avec un flingue qui a bu ? d'autant que ça promet d'être bien lourdingue et qu'on a droit qu'à une sauvegarde rapide (réutilisable quand même !) et c'est tout. Le reste, c'est de l'automatique...
De toute façon, chaque action prend beaucoup de temps, s'accroupir, recharger, s'allonger, changer d'arme, chier etc, etc... et pendant ce temps, vous pouvez vous faire étendre. Et avec ces graphismes tout verts, si on a pas une bonne vision du relief, on repère difficilement la vermine communiste vietcong !
Les voix sont en anglais seulement, le texte est en français mais mal placé et mal fichu, à dire vrai. A noter que le jeu fonctionne très bien en 1080 sur Win7-64 : pas très joli le jeu mais bon, on va pas demander la lune non plus...
Non, on voudrait juste quelque chose de jouable... mais ça, c'est trop demander apparemment. Alors, votre daube, vous vous la remballez.

People who think this game is great either weren't disillusioned enough since the game was new at the time or they're just nostalgic... off of that illusionment. Look, this game is stupid. The gameplay is horrible, design is atrocious and AI is idiotic. Allied Assault is wayyy better, this however, is a waste of time.

Summary Set during the Vietnam War, Vietcong is a first person shooter with tactical elements. Vietcong combines thrilling action with strategic thinking. The evolving storyline combined with the game's intense sound system, graphics and animation truly bring powerful jungle combat to life on your PC. Acting as an elite soldier, players of Vietc...
